The one song therapy

All I wanted was to be alone and disappear.

 The more people around me, the lonelier I felt.

I convinced myself and came to believe everyone hated me 

and will be better off without me.

I lost friendships in the process, missed opportunities. my world just kept going smaller and smaller.

I felt sooo lonely even more misunderstood, I was living in constantly state of fear and overall very very lost. I didn't know what was happening nor how did I got there but it had to stop. or it will just keep spiralling down. It was anxiety.

I wanted a change so badly yet it felt like a goal that I couldn’t reach, so,

I knew I had to start small.

I needed to move my body again somehow to get me out of that funk.

Yoga was no longer an option, too triggering , and no motivation to work out either

So

I made a non negotiable commitment to myself

Everyday I will stand up move / dance on ONE song. 

Just one song. 

Anyway I liked, any pace or form, I just needed to move my body.

. one song a day. That’s all

I will play the music really loud, loud enough to bury my thoughts, 

stand up and move.

Sometimes I would just stand there and barely move a finger, 

most time i would keep going for two, three or more songs.

Something slowly shifted in me

It doesn't matter how ridiculous i felt or that i thought it wouldn't do anything for me, i kept sticking to it knowing deep in my heart that, 

each time i showed up, i was not letting myself down.

Each time I stand up, I honour the vow i made to myself and the universe that i'm ready to do whatever i can to feel even 1% better.

Showing up everyday, helped me build more confidence 

and trust in my abilities to shift my feelings. 

it taught me the power of discipline-rituals 

and more importantly, 

it brought me back to life.

. one song at the time . 

When I shake and dance i feel the shift, 

the tensions soften, my body and my mind becoming lighter, clearer, my thoughts change perspective and more importantly I can reconnect to the feeling of joy and my inner child

as long as i show up for myself, i am on the right track. 

this practice had a powerful impact on my mental health. 

It was that tiny magical moment of my day that transformed me, my belief and helped me grow confidence in my ability to shift achy feelings, at any given moment
