For those who are new to Dancing in Our Kitchens and all of my posts about dancing around the house, I thought I would explain how I use the mood scale in the left column. For years I have kept track of my mood before and after I dance around my kitchen or living room. I found that I can consistently bump up my mood by 15-20% with as little as 10 or 15 minutes of dancing.
I am not a fabulous dancer, but I am an enthusiastic one and dancing in my kitchen has changed my life. I tend to wake up a bit on the down side, usually a 4 or 5. By dancing in the morning I improve everything that happens during my day because my mood is so much better.
I keep track of my dance moods with a great little journaling app on my iPhone called Wonderful Days.
Here's what I posted today.

Thanks for the explanation. When the smart part of my brain tells me writing is too hard and I don't do it well, I dance until my creative part shouts down the grammar police.
