Ok, for some people, this is where you’ll want to pull the curtains and make sure no-one else is around to see you. For others, this is your time to shine. But sometimes it can really help to just let your hair down, whack on some cheesy pop music and just.. dance.

It doesn’t matter what it looks like (you might even just wave your arms about); it’s all about having good, silly fun. It not only takes your mind off of what’s bothering you, but having a dance can release feel good chemicals in your brain. You can literally dance yourself happy.

Dancing is one of the things that Warren shares as being helpful.
