Riot and Frolic

a mostly ballroom dance, but also a bunch of other stuff, blog

Awesome

Maybe you're awesome enough as it is.  But maaaayyybe you could use a little pick-me-up in the kicking-ass department.  Maybe especially on the dance floor?  It's surprisingly easy.

Here's my little advice:

  • Fake it until you are it.  This amazing TED talk about body language BLEW MY MIND.  If you don't think I stand around like Wonder Woman and Usain Bolt for 2 minutes every day after watching this, you are wrong.  
  • Do yoga.  It's kind of cheesy and time-consuming, but after you watch that TED talk (do it do it do it do it do it), you'll have a new appreciation for Tree Pose.  Plus, having more balance, flexibility, and strength than usual is a great boost for the psyche.
  • Listen to this song.  It's kind of a family theme song.  Message: you can do anything.  And you can. 
  • Relax.  Watch something funny.  Like this:   Or this:    Or this:  

Ultimate exercise for the day?  Listen to "Handlebars" by Flobots (or your favorite power song) while doing Tree Pose (or the poses from the video) and watching funny videos for two minutes.  

Boom.  

Awesome.
