Today, Liudmila dances as a soloist in famous opera houses worldwide, like the Vienna State Ballet. She explains: \u201cWith a \u2018Bloated Ego\u2019 live on stage, everything can happen, every second. You can miss so much. And then you\u2019ll make mistakes, fail.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, you need to build up a strong, HEALTHY EGO, as the stage is like an x-ray \u2013 you cannot fake anything! What you have \u2018inside\u2019 your body will show \u2018outside.\u2019 You need to work very hard to get an excellent technique. Only that gives you the confidence. You also need to rehearse your emotions beforehand, as they take a lot of your energy. You would not be able to finish even the first act.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one_fifth\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"593\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.judithhornok.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/koffer-neuneuneuneu.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-738\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>\n<p>Liudmila suggests the following technique: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.judithhornok.com\/en\/self-confidence-the-wall-rehearsal\/\">The Wall Rehearsal<\/a>.<br \/>\n<!--\n\n\n<h2>THE WALL RehearsaL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<ul>\n\t\n\n<li>Close to your live performance (for me it\u2019s one, two weeks before the premiere), I go into the studio to rehearse.<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Then \u2013 when the teacher turns on the music \u2013 I start my role.<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>I act full of emotions, as if I were live on stage \u2013 in a premiere.<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>And I look at each wall, and imagine that there are my colleagues, my partners on stage, and my real audience \u2013 and say a friendly \u201chello\u201d to them.<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>I start to exercise my emotions but I remember that today the director of the opera is watching the performance, he is sitting in the audience. Then thoughts start coming to my mind: \u201cI am not good enough! Oh my god, I will fail!\u201d (Note: The Aggressive Inner Critic character starts to manipulate.) Then, I counter with strong arguments: \u201cBut not only the director is watching! Hundreds of people are watching! The whole audience. They ALL are very important for me. So, I have to STOP IT NOW!\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Then I concentrate again on my performance \u2013 100 per cent.<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nAs we can see, here Liudmila is not only managing The Bloated Ego character with her disciplined, hard training, she is also managing The Aggressive Inner Critic character, because the \u201cgang\u201d of Emotional Hinderers belong together, they are a family. The only question is: who comes first?\n\nBut one doesn\u2019t need to be a ballet dancer to use Liudmila\u2019s technique; everybody can benefit from it, even a salesperson, manager, or CEO.\n\nSo, start your own rehearsal at home, in the studio or whichever place suits you. During the Wall Technique, think of all the emotions that could accompany you in your own premiere performance and then talk to them. Manage your own Emotional Hinderers.\n--><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:60px\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Case Study of The Bloated Ego: The subway ride Many people take the subway: do you know of a situation like this?
