Beat the Monday Blues in Just 3 Minutes: The Power of Dancing

Monday blues got you? Want to feel better in 3 minutes from now?
DANCE BABY DANCE!

One of the practices I LOVE and often invite my badass clients to try is kitchen dancing. I made that term up. It just means putting your favourite song on and shaking your ass. While the kettle is boiling. Before dinner. After a conference call. Whenever.

These are some of the reasons I love this as a practice ..

- there is NO “right” way to boogie

- the average song is about 3 minutes long so this short practice feels do-able (most of my clients are busy women who don't have time for 90 minute pleasure practices..although those are amazing too)

- movement uses up our stress hormones..so this is literally stress management in action

- dance increases levels of the feel-good hormone serotonin AND it helps develop new neural connections, especially in the brain regions involved in executive function, long-term memory, and spatial recognition (this is for my fellow brain nerds)

- it is FREE - no fancy equipment or membership needed!

So, blast those tunes and don't put yourself in the corner (nobody puts baby in a corner).
