In Their Own Words: Judith Po on how to manage stress
In their own words, the artists of Ballet Manila share their thoughts and experiences on not merely surviving but flourishing in the very challenging world of dance. This series is a collection of personal anecdotes, as well as words of wisdom that can be heartwarming, funny or dramatic, but always inspiring regardless of what field one is pursuing.
Prayer! I talk also to friends and family. I believe it’s not good to hold it in too much. If I’m going through something, I talk to my mom. I call her practically every day. I have friends in the company whom I trust and confide in when I’m feeling down. I try not to keep it in too long.
I’ve been through a lot and with all that, I still love what I do. I believe I’ve been put on this earth to dance. It’s a gift that God has given me. So it’s really God who motivates me to come in to work every day. It’s for Him!
