1437 || reclaiming agency through dancing

I think everything these days wants to steal our attention. And if it’s been a while since we checked in with that and how comfortable we are giving up all of life‘s best moments for bullshit that (if we could remember) would not matter at all. So it’s nice to reclaim a bit of it for ourselves. In whatever ways we can manage. If that’s carving out a few minutes a day to dance? I think that’s a beautiful way to start. SOURCES:The Dance vs. Depression Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10813489/ Another study: https://www.bmj.com/content/384/bmj-2023-075847 Articles on the topic:INDEPENDENT: https://www.the-independent.com/life-style/dance-best-exercise-depression-b2501113.html RELIEF MENTAL HEALTH: https://reliefmh.com/blog/dance-therapy-depression-anxiety/ DANCE MAG: https://dancemagazine.com/dancing-with-depression/#gsc.tab=0 HARVARD: https://hms.harvard.edu/news-events/publications-archive/brain/dancing-Donate to Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund::www.pcrf.netDonate to Mutual Aid Funds: https://www.folxhealth.com/library/mutual-aid-fundsGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.
