I think my foundation is probably a dance floor. This afternoon I was listening to my playlist (very diverse) and as it went through each genre I noticed my body movements expressed the emotions within the songs. I was angry, sexy, heartbroken, empowered, in love, and egotistical. All were humorous to watch in the mirror. All were important. All helped me purge remnants of emotions I forgot I was smuggling around. Dancing is a powerful form of self expression and integrates our mind body and soul.

Connection Check-In Set a 5-minute timer. (note: playing positive music helps me track time 2 songs is close to 5 minutes or choose 1 long song) Step 1:Draw a single shape that represents how you feel inside your body right now.Not your thoughts.Not your story.Just the feeling. Step 2:Add one line, word, or color that represents what that feeling needs. Reflection question (optional to share):“What part of me is asking to be noticed?” You can post: - a photo - a description - a word - a sentence - or nothing at al Presence counts. Participation looks different for everyone
