Life is full of serious moments. Most of the day at work is serious business, so no fun there. When you get home it’s easy to get caught up in doing the dishes, laundry, cleaning the living room, fixing that leaky faucet, cleaning up after the dogs, etc. There’s no shortage of work and serious things to take care of. Today I want you to do one thing to fix that.
Dance.
If you’re married ( or have a significant other ), grab her hand, stand up, and dance. Slow dance, fast crazy dance, I don’t care. Just do it. If you walk into the kitchen only to find your wife doing dishes, grab her and spin her around, and dance. Either she’ll slap you or dance along with you, but there’s only one way to find out.
Why dance?
Dancing is simple, it’s fun, and it’s pointless. Do it just to do it. You aren’t trying to accomplish anything. There’s no end goal. It’s just an easy way to let loose, put a smile on your face, and have fun. No need to worry about how you look, or how bad of a dancer you are. I dance just slightly worse than an epileptic monkey on crack. But I don’t care, I do it anyway. And you know what? It’s fun.
Try it. Grab someone and dance. Right now.

ha ha – I dance in my apartment sometimes, it’s also good to get the blood flowing again if you’ve been at your computer for a while! Nice for a break. Need to shake the brains up.
And I’ll bet you always feel a little bit better afterwards right? Being goofy and letting go always puts a smile on my face, no matter how boring / busy my day is.
My kids love when I’m goofy. They laugh and laugh – which makes me laugh (and feel great).
