Arguably, I grew up in one of the BEST eras for clubbing and dancing! With incredible DJs on the decks, we had the likes of Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim and Paul Oakenfold, to name just a few.
Oh, how I LOVED getting on the dancefloor and dancing the night away!
In my early twenties, I lived in London. Then, in my mid-twenties, I moved back to Altea, Spain, and partied in Benidorm.
But not quite like the Brits abroad, who’d often pass out by 11pm, having discovered that Spanish measures were rather more generous than those back home! 😂 No, we’d be out for dinner at 10pm, heading to the clubs around 1am and dancing until 6am! A completely different way of life. And I LOVED it. That’s what weekends were all about. Well, that and horse riding! 🐎. Anyway, I digress! 😂
This post is about MOVEMENT. And you don’t need a nightclub, a dancefloor or even a decent DJ to get moving. Just MOVE! Move every part of yourself. Your fingers, hands, head, shoulders, hips, feet… Wiggle, jiggle, move, giggle, waggle, wobble, waddle… Whatever you feel like!
There’s no choreography. No right or wrong. No need to look good doing it. Just get moving! Imagine your favourite tune playing, or picture yourself in front of that band you absolutely LOVE. And let your body do its thing.
WHY?
Because movement gets the blood flowing and can influence our mood through changes in circulation, breathing, attention and neurochemistry.
It can also help interrupt those repetitive thoughts and bring our attention back into our bodies.
So… 🎶 SHAKE IT, BABY, SHAKE IT! 🎶
And remember, as with all the calming tools I’m sharing:
✨ Notice how you feel BEFORE.
And check in with yourself after.
Your body is amazing. So, move it, appreciate it and love every part of it. ❤️ Happy shaking 🫨
