As free as the ocean

People often tell you to ‘dance like no one is watching’ and, let’s be honest, most of the time nobody really is watching. It is your own imagination watching you from the outside – telling you that you look like a fool, trapping you in this place of self-consciousness. But we shouldn’t listen to that voice in our head, instead we should acknowledge how we feel in that moment; as muscles stretch, our heart rate quickens and air rushes past our limbs. That feeling of freedom – as free as the ocean. Next time you’re at the beach, or even just imagining it, I challenge you to dance to the sound of the waves, the smell of the salty air and let the sea set you free!
