Just Dance

Today was all about dance. It started with a random stumble onto a TEDx talk about how your mood can be changed by the way you move your body (https://youtu.be/ljm0ldxgkcE).

"Dance"

The researcher found that when people danced or even just watched people dancing it increased their happiness and decreased depression.

It was a great talk and since all through my life I have loved to dance, it seemed to hit a cord.

I decided to dance around my bedroom, so that is what I did. I danced like no one was watching (no one was watching). It was amazing. I felt free and motivated.


The next thing I received a beautiful gift from my cousin - a wee book called 'To Dance is to Live'. it made my day.

When I made dinner tonight I danced my way around the kitchen... Only dropped a couple of things on the floor as I spun myself around and shook my bootee.

Today is the 1st of September and it is the first day of spring (were I live), so I am going to make some new goals for the new season.

1) Join a dance class  - do not care what kind.

2) Go to dance class  - that is an issue - if I join I need to commit to going...

3) Dance in the morning when I get out of bed - no matter how tired I am.... I think this will be the hardest one - I do love to dance but I am so not a morning person.

4) When I do dance - dance like no one is watching. 

The first day of spring is always a good day. Lets get this party started.

Follow up: Exercised yes, I think dancing counts!  No hot chocolates... I have also figured out how to use my ipad as a photo-booth without paying $$$$. Just use camera on timer... who would have thought it would have been that easy.
