your daily rock : put on your boogie shoes!

March 11, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

“Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.” -Rumi

Did you know dancing is really, really good for you? By increasing the number of neural pathways, dancing provides your brain with multiple ways to access information, instead of just one way. If we put on our boogie shoes while we make breakfast, for example, our brains are going to age better, not to mention how great it feels. Imagine if we dance every day, even for a little bit?

Put on your favorite music today and dance!

Love,

I agree completely, Patti. Alone it can be joyful, soulful, and playful. With another all those things and more. Great post. After leaving a 23+ year relationship, I wrote about it in:
