Lift Your Mood With Rhythmic Music & Movement
I‘m back with another Free Therapy video and a new series to boot. Lately I have been doing so many new things to help manage my depression and I thought I would share them in a new series I’m calling STOMP ON DEPRESSION’S HEAD! In this video I share my intentional use of rhythmic music and dance to help jump start my day and rewire my brain.
Enjoy:

I will update you all to my progress with this technique. So far so good. I’d gotten to a point where I was rarely listening to music so I’m loving intentionally re-adding it to my life.
Stay tuned & thanks for stopping by.

So timely and yes it works. My momma always told me to keep a praise and song in my heart. You know the book of Psalm always talks about continuous praise through song and dance. David was on to something. Anyhoo….
When the doctor told us about our son’s diagnosis (in such a non-chalant way…what IS it about these doctors – ugh…FOCUS), I cried many nights and still do sometimes. However when I hear “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, I forget it all. (Nevermind the fact that she is talking about a man – ha!)
If I do not listen to music at least once a day, I am in a “mood”. So yes, it works for me.

You are really generous. I wish you all the best with everything…

Thank you

I will definitely be watching this. My son is 7 months and I am experiencing the depression myself. Friends suggest going to the doctor for meds but I don’t want to be on medication, but something has to change. I will be on this journey with you.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for commenting Teresa. Definitely try different things, be consistent but don’t beat yourself up if you miss a day. Hope your joy returns. ♥

Thank you so much for sharing with us. The way that you present information takes the stigma away from depression. I am looking forward to this series. I tried the movement advice today and did feel an improvement. Now I am on the hunt for the book at my library. I will pray for you and your family. God bless you.

Awesome. I think the updated version has a different title so check his website.

I’ve always struggled with depression (which was at its worst after the births of my 2 children, until they were both over the age of 1 1/2). Even now it is a hurdle, but I have been better in the past year or two. Instead of long stretches (3-6 months on end), it lasts in shorter bursts (3-4 weeks) then goes away for a while. Music does help. And I’ve taken the suggestion that you highlighted about the book you read. I might even buy it (the book). I made a playlist of African and Tahitian drum music. I do notice that I feel free while I’m dancing around and listening to music. I’m a bad dancer, so I definitely do it alone!
