I’m always amazed by how well belly dance can shift my mood in perimenopause.

I woke up in a TERRIBLE mood this morning. I don’t even know why. I couldn’t really put my finger on it. You know how that goes.

And then I had to teach my 10-minute belly dance class live in my Facebook group, and as soon as I was finished, I immediately felt this shift in my energy.

I felt lighter. I felt more hopeful. I felt more like ME.

And I know it sounds kind of weird that belly dance could actually help shift your mood in perimenopause, but it’s really kind of magical.

Because it’s more than just exercise. There’s something about the music and the movement and moving your body in this way that just sparks JOY.

And sometimes, especially in perimenopause, we really freaking need that.

I loved this video from about creating figure 8s with your body while affirming what you want to invite into your life.

It immediately made me think of belly dance.

Belly dance is filled with figure 8 movements, so I thought, “Why not combine the two?”

In this practice, we start with horizontal figure 8s (front to back, then back to front), followed by vertical figure 8s (top to bottom, then bottom to top), while focusing on the intentions and affirmations you want to embody.

One of the things I love most about belly dance is that it isn’t just movement—it’s a way of embodying the energy of what you want to create.

Have fun with it, and let me know how it feels. ✨

One of the things I see that keeps women stuck when they want to make a positive change in their life is that the first question they ask themselves is…

“What if it doesn’t work?”

It’s a fair question.

But I don’t think it’s the most helpful one.

Because when that question comes first, it often keeps us from taking any action at all.

A better question might be:

“What if I keep doing exactly what I’ve been doing?”

We spend so much time thinking about the cost of trying something new…

…that we never stop to consider the opportunity cost of staying where we are.

What will it cost you if nothing changes?

Six months from now, will you be any closer to feeling stronger? More confident? More consistent?

If you’ve been struggling to create a consistent fitness habit, I hope this gives you something to think about.

💃 Doors to The Daily Belly Dance Habit close tonight. I’d love to dance with you.
