Do something - DANCE!

“I wish to live a life that causes 

my soul to dance inside my body.”

_Dale Olanubi

When life grinds to a halt, the soul cries out—Do something!

Stagnation can take many forms. We may find ourselves trapped in endless cycles of overthinking, analysing, and rehashing old stories. Or, just as easily, we can be seduced by the heart, sinking deep into emotion.

Sometimes these thoughts and feelings bring pleasure, sometimes pain. Either way, we can become trapped, believing that feeling is somehow better than thinking. But in truth, both can hold us captive. Thought and emotion, when unchecked, lead to the same place: inaction.

Inaction feeds the stagnation and if our thoughts or feelings are negative, they intensify, colouring our entire perception of life. We begin to see the world through the lens of our stuckness.

The only way out is movement. To shift our state, we must step beyond thought and feeling—we must act. This is what it means to dance with life.

We cannot think or feel dance—it is not a memory of the past or a projection into the future. Dance exists only in the now. And though fleeting, it holds immense power. Dance is not an escape from the mind or heart; it is their integration. In movement, thought and feeling are no longer separate from the body but become one with it.

When the body is in motion—flowing, shifting, alive—our thoughts begin to move in creative ways, our hearts expand into deeper feeling, and our senses awaken to the fullness of life.

We are, quite literally, on the move.

_Christos Daskalakos
