Wait what! Did I read the topic correctly, Dance and Productivity? You must have lost your mind! Are these thoughts running across your mind? Are you thinking about how is this even possible? Or are you calculating the feasibility of the topic? Well, my friend, to put your mind at ease, I have tried and tested this method, it works wonders. I can certainly vouch for that!
One of my secret strategies for learning and boosting productivity is dance, and I am telling you, you should try it too! Here let me explain, why you should try it. Well for starters, dancing makes you smarter! Our brain is composed of a vast and complex network of what is called neural pathways and dancing increases this neural connectivity thereby making our brain stronger and sharper! Think of it as a crossword puzzle or Sudoku, dancing will help you make quick decisions, say you forget a step, and what will you do then? You will not wait but you will make up a step of your own; your brain will be synchronized to the beats and rhythms of the music and you will be able to keep the coordination of your movements with the song. This way your brain is getting a hard-core workout. Now imagine a situation, where you have to dance with your partner and let’s assume you are going left-right-cha-cha-cha with beats and you have some flips or spins with your partner, what will you do, you will instinctively trust your partner and thus this helps you build trust and promotes teamwork that is an essential component for achieving productivity.
Furthermore, you will be able to communicate better with moves than with words, what it then does is, it improves your communication skills, all the while oxytocin or the happy chemical is getting secreted. Now that you are equipped with various skills like team-building, cooperation, good communication skill, and so on, dancing also makes you healthier and happier. When you are dancing, you are moving around, and it feels good to move your body after sitting hours in front of your laptop or computer. You just take out your frustration, your anger, and your sadness and pour your heart and soul into the dance.
On top of all these, dance promotes the handling of constructive criticism, say you are off-beat and I am going to tell you and point that out to you, or maybe you are dancing without pouring your heart and soul into it, I am going to point that out to you, as well. So in this process, of me telling you where you have gone wrong or where you have gone right, you ace the process of handling feedbacks and incorporating them in your daily life, which ultimately will increase your productivity.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, dance boosts your confidence levels because when you learn a new skill that is fun, it helps you relax, and makes you happy. This, in turn, has a positive impact on your decision-making skills, and helps you get more focused as you dance off your stress and worries and it makes you zuperly creative! So go get your shoes and your boogie on and get dancing, you all.
