Some days all you need is a fabulous pair of hardcore headphones, an iPod and an empty house. You can be alone without being lonely and let’s face it...how often would you dance around the house with a spectator.
They say ‘sing like no-one can hear you and dance as though no-one is watching’; this is one of the best bits of advice – I believe in this 100%. Nothing can cheer me up the way that singing my heart out and dancing around like a pogo-stick can.
If you’ve ever watched Love Actually you would have seen Hugh Grant dancing round rather fantastically to the pointer sisters ‘jump’. Ok, so it all ends rather awkwardly when he is discovered, but up until that time he is having a bloody good time this what you need.
Forget the bad memories, ignore the good ones and for the next half an hour think only about random body movements and shimmying past your front window; listen only to your favourite ‘dance like a loon’ songs. I promise it will cheer you up immensely – and hey, think of the calories you would have burnt whilst doing so – Cadburys anyone?
