Studies show that dancing and traditional exercise both release endorphins, but dancing is more successful in boosting your mood and relieving stress. Both of these video clips below show Dr. Meredith Grey relieving stress in emotionally charged moments with a 30 second dance party.
I think this concept of fun stress relief is good to keep in mind as a college student and beyond. Not just for self-care, but also for the care of employees and co workers. I believe that employee morale is such an important part of organizational culture. Even though a 30 second dance party may seem silly, it is a quick way to boost your mood.
I really enjoyed this concept too! It reminds me a lot of the power posing idea. It's interesting how the way in which we form or move our bodies can alter feelings in our brain.
