#047: The December Alternative [Podcast]

What this episode covers

The month of December means different things to different people. So, in this session of The DancePreneuring Studio, I give this festive month a different focus that can easily apply to any month of the year. These segments are brought to you in part by Liquid Web. This is what I use to host my website on. Their customer service and live chat are top notch. Session Summary * Step to Success: Just as steps are necessary in a dance, there are steps to success in your life and business. In this segment, we discuss a step in the form of an app, a book, or a concept that will help you move forward. Today’s step is a tool called Freedom that can be installed on all your devices to block distractions so that you can be productive. You can schedule the sessions where you want distractions blocked and there is a free trial available. * Dancer’s Dialect: The Dancer’s Dialect is the dancer’s language. I share terminology and concepts from different genres so you can see the correlations in your life and in your business. I recently took a Dancehall class and it has been forever and a day since I was in that class and I had forgotten how much I enjoy it, and how difficult it is. There was one step we worked on called the nuh linga which you’ll see in the video below. ‘Nuh linga’ means ‘do not linger’ – don’t wait or keep moving. It may also express impatience, e.g. ‘me nah linga’ means ‘I’m leaving. I cannot stay here any longer.’ The basic rule while dancing is to keep your weight on your one foot and make circles with the other one. It is important to use your whole body, and your arms and torso need to rotate too. The impetus of the movement I learned comes from the hips, and the feet are just a natural progression from the hip and torso movement. The definition of nuh linga reminds me that there are some things in life that you cannot waste time on and you need to keep on moving. In business it can mean the difference between just having ideas and implementing those ideas forward. It’s about throwing out the idea of perfection, which is never attained, and have progression instead. * Freestyle Flow: There’s dirt on my shirt. And pretty much all over my clothes now that I do some of my workouts outdoors. I love being outside exercising, even when it’s cold. Check out this article on the benefits of exercising outdoors. Whether it’s a gym atmosphere you like or being outdoors, the best thing is exercise where you know you’ll be the most consistent. * Feature Presentation: I have to admit, I am not one of those people who loves holidays like Christmas, Hanukkhah, Kwanzaa, etc. I have to look for the positive in it because my son loves it, but if it wasn’t for him, it would just be another month. Part of the reason is that during this Fall time is when the days would drag when I was working a regular nine to five, not dancing, became homeless, and also lost a number of people that were close to me. I know, I’m sounding kind of negative and like Scrooge, right? I don’t necessarily fit into the happy homemaker baking cookies either, lol. I apologize in advance to those of you that love Christmas and this time of year. Although I do love the movie Elf with order tramadol online pharmacy Will Ferrell. : ) Instead of focusing on the fact that I want December to be done soon...
