Daily diversion: One-minute dance party.
Origin: "30 Rock" episode 104, "Jack the Writer", written by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock.
Sometimes we all need a little break from the day-to-day dullness. What better way to bust out of a funk than to bust a move? Liz Lemon and her staff of "TGS" writers like to take a quick dance break when frustration sinks in.
Incorporate it into your life: throw together a quick playlist of awesome songs to break it down to. (Use songs that start strong; you've only got a minute, so don't choose anything that builds up to a crescendo. You want it to bump all the way through.) Then, when you're having an "ugh" moment, play a random song from the list on your iPod, iPhone, computer, or boom box (props for goin' old school) and dance your little heart out for a full minute. Even more fun if you bring friends or coworkers into the mix!
Song suggestions: Liz and her team "love the music of Chamillionaire" and dance to "Grown and Sexy". Some other good options are: "Gonna Make You Sweat" by C&C Music Factory, "Beat It" by Michael Jackson, "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa, "Lose My Breath" by Destiny's Child, "Bust a Move" by Young MC, and anything by Girl Talk.
