Stress Relief Tool - Shake It Off

In some African cultures, shaking therapy is used for emotional healing. Shaking symbolically wards off perceived emotional threat of fear, self-doubt, or worry. By doing a quick body shake, you can release the emotional attachments causing tension as you get blood flowing rapidly through your body. Find an empty conference room or an office, or even a bathroom stall if nothing else is available, and channel your favorite music performer or your favorite dance move, or mimic a wet dog coming out of the water. Start to shake, twist, or whatever you can do to get your whole body moving for about 30 seconds. Take a deep breath and go on with your day. As an added bonus, you probably will start laughing as you're shaking, boosting your mood and further reducing your stress.
