Growing up, I always found dance as "theraputic." But I never thought it would be an official way of therapy. I've benefitted from the affects of going to therapy and being a dancer. Which is why I was fascinated when I heard about dance/movement therapy.    I really knew nothing about it which is why I invited Vicki Alvarez to talk about:   What is dance/movement therapy.  The benefits of dance/movement therapy.  Who is dance therapy for?  How is a session structured. and much much more

Too many people focus on what they're not good at and only end up becoming mediocre at it. Instead, find the weaknesses WITHIN your strengths.

Fuck being efficient. Learn to be effective first. A lot of people are trying to get things done faster. Focus on the things that move the needle forward, THEN go focus on being efficient on THAT.

Today's question came from my YouTube show, EmeroyTV, but I felt compelled to share it. It's long, but here's the essence of it: How Do I Tell My  Wife To Change Her Dance Career?   NO.    There is no justification in telling your wife to change her dance  career because it embarrasses you.  That sounds like a YOU problem.  If she's loving her dance career then you should be supporting the shit  out of her. Don't project your insecurities and force change on her  because you don't like it.

Spend time with the ones you love. They don't come out with a new model every 18 months. To keep it real and God forbid, the might even be gone within that time frame.

Hiking with my son is metaphorical. i want him to get his hands dirty, i  want him to enjoy the journey, and i want him to know that if he needs  help, I'll be there for him. While  it's my responsibility to teach Jordan everything I can as he's growing  up, he's indirectly teaching me some valuable lessons as well.⠀

EVERYONE SUCKS AT THE BEGINNING. If you want to be great at whatever is you want to pursue you've got to tough it out during the awkward phase of sucking. Some might have more talent than others, but that's no reason to not try. Because I promise you the work you put in compounds and builds up to something.

EMPATHY is NOT SYMPATHY. Sympathy = "Aw poor you." Empathy = "Hey man, I get what you're going through. It sucks." If you want to feel more connected to other people in your life, empathy is key. But it's not gonna be easy. You've got to get over your own ego and judgement to truly put yourself in someone else's shoes. It's listening to understand, not listening to reply.

Getting back into something you're passionate about can be tough if you've been away from it for so long. It can almost feel like you're starting from the beginning. In today's #GrowFriday episode on #EmeroyTV I jam out with some friends about: Returning to dance after 20 years of working corporate Annett, Emani, and Sultan's answers on getting started for beginners. How they all discovered dance and became obsessed with it. And much more

EVERYONE can be a personal brand now thanks to the internet. But are you using it to genuinely connect with your audience or are you using it for vanity? In today's episode of #MoveGrooveGrow I chat with a fellow social media agency owner, Trenton Samuel. We talk about Social media and your personal brand. The importance of knowing your audience. A KEY element to have before taking anyone as a client. My company's 70/30 rule when it comes to posting content. Leveraging data to IMPROVE your content Letting feedback guide you, not define you.

 The fact is for those of you who are hesitant to do you to do what you want to do because you’re afraid of some opinions from other people. They’re already going to be passing opinions about you anyways. People who are doing real things are too busy trying to build something for themselves don’t have time to put others down.  They don’t have time for that. They’re too busy grinding and hustling.  Thing is most people are too busy with their own lives to really give a shit so go out and do you 

 If you've ever said I'm over this... certain betrayal... this certain  hurt, but for some reason something in the present moment triggers you.  That means there's another lesson to learn. Much like there are beginner to advanced levels in dancing, the same goes to mastering what triggers you. 

VISION dictates your goals and actions. BUUUTTT-- What if you haven't figured that out yet?

Ever wondered why certain situations trigger you? I believe that whatever triggers you, is where the lesson is. It's the "end of your comfort zone" all those inspirational quotes on Instagram talk about. And here's the truth, if you don't figure out how to process what triggers you, it will keep coming back in one way or another. Why? Because it's a part of you, and your life doesn't change until you change.

Ever had a crappy 15 minutes, but you let it bother you for the rest of the day? this is for you.

When life punches you in the face what do you do? Do you get angry? Try to numb it with alcohol or drugs? Ignore it and never process it? There are A MILLION THINGS we can't control, and that feeling multiplies when shit hits the fan. It's important that you focus on this ONE THING when times are both good and bad.
