THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME TO STAITHES … IT WAS WONDERFUL!
So the importance of happiness, and balancing out negativity and anxiety coming at us, especially through our phones. I spoke about what I'd realised were some of my happiness rituals during the Staithes weekend, and I use dance of course.
The irony is also that if we click on the negative stories, algorithms will feed us even more. I hate feeling cut off from loved ones, but having no signal can help rebalancing.
Happiness is not selfish and does not have to be lazy or self-satisfied. I often quote the words of the late Egyptian music maestro Sheik Taha about the Egyptian attitude to happiness - one of the greatest gifts of the country to travellers there.
And I go further than that. We need to find what makes us happy and shine a light on it, bring it out and celebrate it. Use the happiness to rebalance yourself, to develop the positivity to deepen what you do, where you work, how we can change things for the better. Constant anxiety won't change things - positivity will.
Letting go in dance isn't enough, relaxing and mindful movement isn't enough. We need to dig out our happiness, the sort that feeds our positive energy.
I'd love to know what your rituals are. 😀
