The Best Advice

Last week I was playing a game of Hollywood squares as part of a virtual team building activity. It was hosted by a live DJ and it was actually a lot of fun.⠀
During one round of the game, we were supposed to answer a simple question and then everyone had to try and guess which answer came from which person. The question: "What is the best piece of advice you've ever been given?".⠀
With the clock ticking and the pressure mounting I quickly jotted down... "just dance".⠀
Even through it was a game, I stand by this as being good advice. Best... ah... not sure, but good - definitely! Think about it.⠀
Landed a huge promotion - touchdown dance.⠀
Moved into a new place - twirl in the empty living room.⠀
Overcommitted and breaking under timeline pressure - shake it off with Taylor.⠀
Brad threw you under the bus at work - angry girl rock to the rescue.⠀
Pain so real it feels like you're suffocating - sway with Louis until you begin to remember its a wonderful world.⠀
Dance is always there for you, no matter what. It forces us to pause for a few minutes and grounds us in the moment. It makes it easier to feel whatever we're feeling. It brings our bodies and our emotions into alignment, however briefly.⠀
As 2020 continues to roar with a vengeance, I invite you to join me, and just dance.⠀
