Two days of driving (sitting motionless for hours) followed by a day of sitting and talking with my mom has brought me to this morning’s feeling of lethargy. What’s going on? No dancing is what’s going on.
The internal dialogue goes like this:
Tired me: I’m too tired and fried to dance this morning.
Wiser me: True, but you can always dance your today body.
Tired me: My today body doesn’t want to dance.
Wiser me: Maybe that’s your today brain. Maybe your today body would like just five minutes and then your today brain might come on board.
Tired me: Five minutes? You promise?
Wiser me: Yup.
So the various selves cue up the online routine “Ignite.” And we keep the lights off, letting dawn slowly brighten the room. This routine starts with my favorite song: “The Groove is You,” which tired me starts getting into.
My today body did 30 minutes, staying with some moves longer because they felt so good, skipping some moves that seemed too fussy for today.
And tired me is kind of surprised at the fresh energy. It leaves me thinking, when you don’t know what to do, turn on the music and dance.

Okay, that’s one of my new mantras. “when you don’t know what to do, turn on the music and dance”. love it.
Thank you! I just need to remember it next time I’m all draggy.
Yes!! I love Susan’s brain-body conversation. It rings so true.
