It's the end of the weekend, and by my clock it looks like it's probably officially Monday. But in your stressful week ahead, especially for you speech kids looking at nationals, I have a suggestion: take a dance break. It sounds silly I know, but trust me. Put on some of your favorite tunes, something with a beat and flail your body. Don't worry about "looking good" whatever that means, and instead shake out all of the tension. Jump up and down, do some crazy kick move, shake your booty, flap your arms around- what ever it takes to make you laugh at yourself for doing this alone in your living room or with friends. After a song or two, rehydrate and get back to work.
I can't tell you the number of times I have used this when those stressful points of the year come up. It's like slipping back into childhood for a few minutes to regain some energy, get your creative juices flowing again, and to bring some levity to the situation that looks insurmountable.
So, have you had your dance break today?
