Picture this:
You're home alone. Nothing is on TV, and you're pretty sure you've watched everything even remotely interesting on Netflix multiple times. (Swan Princess never gets old.)
It's been a long day at work. I mean, a really long day.
You decide ,"Maybe I'll just go to bed."
But as you lay in your bed... You realize you're not that tired. You're fidgety and it's too warm (now it's too cold) and you just cannot! get comfortable.
What do you do?
Maybe you'll pick up a book. Maybe you'll get online. Or maybe you'll just lay there and hope you fall asleep soon.
Those aren't exactly bad options. Those could work.
But next time you're in this situation, and you know you will be, why not dance?!
We all know dancing is fun.
Or at least most of us do. If you're one of those people who absolutely hate dancing, even alone, this post is probably not for you.
But really! Dancing has so many benefits!
It's a form of exercise. And you don't even have to be good at it for that... You just gotta be really in to it. Turn off the lights, turn on the most upbeat song you know, and dance like it's the only thing you know how to do. Go crazy. Jump on the bed. Create dance moves. Sweat. Hit things on accident. Air guitar. Whatever you want.
You'll get your heart pumping and you'll burn some calories while doing it. And think of all those endorphins... mmm.
This can help with SO many things.
Endorphins kick in and tell your brain that you are happy. It can help fight depression and stress and fatigue.
But mostly stress. :)
Think about it, we spend SO much of out time doing the same thing every single day.
We wake up and get ready and go to work. Then so many of us sit at a desk and repeat the same actions for 8 hours. Then we go home, eat, and sleep. Then repeat.
Do you realize this means that we are letting someone else decide everything for us?
On a normal, boring day, you really don't even need to make any choices for yourself.
But dancing...
Dancing let's you break out of that and do everything you want.
Dancing let's you break out of that and do everything you want.
When you dance, everything is possible and within your reach.
I suggest that you learn to dance alone. Whenever you get the chance.
Close your door, turn up the music, and dance.
Maybe even without music.
Don't even try to be good at it.Where's the fun in being good at it?
Maybe just create an interpretive dance for your favorite song. Or your least favorite song, that could be fun :)
Dancing with someone can be fun, too, of course. But don't let that make you forget to dance alone sometimes.
I found these pictures on these websites:
