Helllo Buena Vida Fam, December really popped up on the calendar with the quickness, phew! Ok, so the lights, the holidays, all the beautiful bright and merry things are among us. And maybe… along with them comes that little voice whispering: Damn, so a whole ass year is about to pass, how did it go? Did I do enough? My two cents: Reflection is beautiful. Necessary. Sacred, even. And sometimes when we look back — even with love — we stir up those crunchy, uncomfortable, “ugh, I don’t wanna feel this” moments. Totally human. Totally normal. Especially this time of year. So I want to share a tool that has carried me through some of my toughest seasons: dance. Well… music and dance. My saving grace, time and time again. And guess what? There’s proof it helps: Researchers at Harvard Medical School found that dancing lights up multiple parts of your brain all at once — sensory, motor, emotional, and memory centers. It literally helps you process and regulates your whole system. Here’s the link for my fellow science nerds: Dancing and the Brain
Which means… if the holidays kick up nostalgia, self-judgment, or heaviness, putting on a song and letting your body wiggle is not silly — it’s legit nervous-system care. So — reflect, if you want. And if reflection brings up a little “ugh”… this is your official permission slip to DANCE IT OUT. Shake a little. Sway a little. Shoulder shimmy. Toe tap.
Bop your head while driving like a true OG. Movement moves the feelings through. It gives your nervous system a safe way to process, release, and reset. Let’s keep things moving, groovin’, and settling into the truth that we are right where our feet are meant to land. 💛✨ Read on for more…. Abrazos,
♥️ Laura
