Dancing My Way Through Divorce
I use my AirPods and dance up a storm. The first few nights I did this, I almost felt a sense of panic. Like someone was watching me. I was embarrassed to kick my leg or shimmy shimmy shake. And then it dawned on me: there was no one to bear witness to this, and I could do whatever the heck I wanted. I could dance like a wild lady or practice old tap moves or simply stand in the middle of the room and listen to music and weep (try this, it’s amazing.) There is something incredibly freeing about literally dancing like no one is watching.
