The Journey Into Clutter Busting: Just Gotta Dance

by Michaeline on February 18, 2012

So in my post last week I said I was going to dance that day and I did.

I realized that it had been a long time since I had danced around the house. I have mentioned before that I have had some challenges with regularly exercising but dancing on Saturday was joyful and reminder how nice it feels to just move your body. I will definitely incorporate dancing around the house more often as part of my fitness and joy routines.

Did you know that an average 150 pound person can burnapproximately 171 calories by dancing (really kicking up your heels for 30 minutes?

So as part of the saying goes “Dance like no one is watching…” ~ William Purkey

Move your body and experience some joy.

The Journey Into Clutter Busting: Fill the Well

by Michaeline on February 11, 2012

When was the last time you did something for yourself or just for the pure joy of it? In the busyness of the day we often forget about taking care of ourselves or if we don’t forget we give it a lower priority.

In order to have enough energy for our daily tasks… in order to rejuvenate us… in order to fill the well… make yourself a priority today and this week. Give yourself a little “me time” for some light-heartedness or to just do something for you. This week I have started a new yoga class and today I am going to dance. What will you do?
