When I was suffering from frequent anxiety attacks, one of the best ways I could 'flip switch' my negative thinking was to go into my private basement, turn on the radio and dance into another world.
I would remember all of my favorite dance routines from Madonna and Michael Jackson videos and emulate them the best I could.
I didn't care what I looked like because I was having so much fun and was relieved of stress and anxiety.
Dancing also allowed me to concentrate on movements and routines which are great for mental stability and agility.
I knew one thing was for sure, I would never experience panic or anxiety during dance time.
It allowed me the freedom to control my own destiny.
Dance movement therapy has gained much popularity in recent times as an effective way to treat a number of different emotional, cognitive, social, behavioral and physical conditions.
Dance therapy is effective as it strengthens the body/mind connection through body movements to improve both the mental and physical well-being.
Also, by expressing yourself through dance, you are releasing endorphins inside of your brain which give you a positive energy rush.
Since movement and emotion are related, it is almost guaranteed to help you find healthy balance and a sense of wholeness.
Mix this with some of your favorite upbeat dance music, and you have a perfect recipe for anxiety relief.
Finding the right kind of therapy can be tough to find so please let those inhibitions go and try dancing.
Having fun is the best form of natural anxiety relief.
