Welcome to day 10 of the self-care challenge! You can catch up here if needed.

Today’s Bite-Sized Self-Care: Dance it Out

Right before the pandemic lockdown in 2020, my friend Robin and I enjoyed a local cover band, The Spazmatics, known for their danceable 80s hits. When live events paused, they shifted to live-streaming shows every Friday night. Robin and I would tune in via video call, dancing in our living rooms. These were the highlights of my week, reminiscent of Meredith and Christina’s 'Dance it Out' sessions in 'Grey's Anatomy', where they shook off stress through dance.

These memories remind me how dancing can uplift our spirits, no matter our location or situation.

So, in the spirit of those fun-filled nights and those 'Dance it Out' moments from Grey’s Anatomy, today’s challenge is about loosening our inhibitions and taking a moment to enjoy ourselves. It’s not about perfect choreography, looking great, or even being in sync with the music. It’s about letting go of self-consciousness and moving or dancing however comes naturally. This is also a great opportunity to add a little bit more movement to our day in a joyful, carefree way.

Today’s Challenge:

Put on some upbeat music, and dance it out for a few minutes.

What’s your favorite song to dance to?

Putting on my dancing shoes,
