The practice as its own reward

Every time I’ve practiced Isadora Duncan dance for more than an hour, I feel so refreshed! I feel I have more space, more time, and more freedom to create. I can for example, work more focused with my translation assignment, and write with more flow. It’s like an expansion within, that I can’t explain without saying that it’s also a practice for my soul, and a liberation of my mind.

While I’m dancing, I can also at times, feel joy spring forth. Then this, becomes its own reward.

Our reward, is what most often motivates us. We want to receive something in return for our effort. Usually, money is our greatest motivating factor. When we work, we do this to pay our bills and survive, but this most always includes stress, which in turn might have a negative effect on our performance, leading us to struggle even more. And while we all need money, and this is the most common reward and driver, having your passion as your favorite pastime, enables you to receive another reward, gratifying beyond the material. What is that for you? What brings you joy, that you can do, without making money on it? Lifecoaching can help you find out.
