Will I be an eye-sore if I stand out from the crowd?

An associate professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences at Altanta's Emory University did some experiments using a MRI to see what was happening in the brains of the people handling a decision.  It appeared that during the moment of decision, his subjects' brains lit up not in the area where thinking take place, but in the back of the brain, where vision is interpreted which goes to show that people actually believed what others told them they were seeing, not what they saw with their own eyes!  And for another group of subjects, their brains lit up in the amygdala, which is the fear centre of the brain which goes to show that people are fearful of standing alone.

So, will you use your dancewear as a streetwear and do it your own style?
A friend just feedback to me to say that the dancewear that we carry at My Own Style Dancewear  is unique and fashionable enough to be used as streetwear.  He commented that he could not find such designs easily on the streets and encouraged me to advertise them as streetwear too. I am so so glad to hear that  ;-) 
Hmm..........But will you wear these dancewear as streetwear?

Most of us have a comfort.......A comfort can be defined as something that bring forth a feeling of relief from worries or unhappiness.  It is a something that makes you feel comfortable and at ease.  It could be something that you enjoy doing which helps you to release your stress and forget your pains and troubles.
For some, it is a musical instrument like a guitar or a piano which you seek solace in by simply playing with it.  For others, it is a sight of someone or something familiar like a comfort blanket......
For me, it is dancing....the feeling of being in presence of myself....being completely and fully there just dancing........
This just brings me to the story of the dancing David in the Bible who cared more about his own internal experience than what other people think.  He was utterly fearless of what other people think.  His public act of dancing in fact cost him his marriage.  His wife despised him as she focused on what the people watching were thinking about him dancing in a an undignified manner, whereas he focused on experiencing the joy of being in the presence.
I think it is more important to care about what is going on inside our own heart than what other people think of our actions.  So, I often tell myself that my heart is made for bigger things that satisfy and enrich my soul like dancing.
Do you have a comfort, my friend?.....Find one that your soul identifies with.........  ;-)

"We live in a beautiful world"

I was thinking about how to start my blog.....should I talk about belly fats, or how to lose weight or how to set realistic goals when exercising... the list just go on and on.....until I stumbled upon this article entitled, "I couldn't afford to lose any more" from The New Paper, on 24 August 2011.

Tears welled up in my eyes when I read about how this Chinese dancer, Ms Liao Zhi,  who lost her legs in the Sichuan quake and  yet continued to dance and made a difference in the lives of many others.  I just made up my mind at that point to start my blog with her heart wrenching but uplifting story.

Just about 3 years ago, she was a dance instructor and a young mother of a 11-month old daughter,  who had just started to piece back her life together after an unhappy marriage.  Then the 8.0-magnitude earthquake happened on a fateful day and took away the lives of her loved ones and as well as more than 80 000 people in China.  During the long 12 hours ordeal in which she was trapped under the debris, she had to bear both the physical pain of her leg which was crushed by the debris as well as the mental torture of witnessing the death of her daughter and her mother-in-law happening right before her eyes. 

Her lower limbs were amputated and she could no longer do the traditional Chinese folk dance which she loved.  While she could have wasted herself in sorrow, she did not, instead she picked herself and  found renewed motivation to stay alive after finding solace in the kindness of an elderly stranger who left her S$2.25 under her pillow while she was recuperating in the hospital.

She said that she had lost many things and could not afford to lose any more. And she moved on to learn a new dance with a giant drum and performed in a Miss World event in Chongqing.  Not long after, she appeared in a public service broadcast and soon became a household name.  She even started to impact the lives of many unfortunate ones by starting a troupe for disabled artistes in 2009, mentoring students between the ages of 4 and 12.

She said:"I've learnt how not to focus on my problems and look on the positive side of things.  We live in a beautiful world."

Such  indomitable spirit ............and I was encouraged to think of the world as beautiful despite the difficulties in life.  We should all continue to dance with joy because we are so blessed to be living in this beautiful world.  And  I truly hope that you are just as uplifted as I am after reading this....................

By the way, do post your comments and feel free to give me feedback after browsing the blogshop so that I can understand your needs better and help you to increase your joy in dancing by working with you to achieve your desired image for your dance workout.  Anyway, so much for today, do come back to this blog for new products and postings............

Such  indomitable spirit ............and I was encouraged to think of the world as beautiful despite the difficulties in life.  We should all continue to dance with joy because we are so blessed to be living in this beautiful world.  And  I truly hope that you are just as uplifted as I am after reading this....................
