Hank Green had a good quote about the need we have to feel / be productive: “You will always struggle with not feeling productive until you accept that your own joy can be something you produce.”
+
I hadn't heard this quote before John brought it up in his video the other day and WOW it hits hard. Loved it +
aww that's such a lovely quote. I will need to write that down.
That vlogbrother video really helped me :)
Ahh Hank Green (and John for that matter)...where would we be without them :)
Biggest plus from an outsider's perspective is if I saw 2 people dancing in their house I would assume they are incredibly happy, or wildly in love, and the world would seem like a really beautiful place for a moment.
The contrast between each couple's experience was hysterical.
China, exhasted: I have had A DAY
* after dancing *
Craig: how do you feel now?
China, absolute begrudgingly, defeatedly: ....better.
I'm not tryna to make you cry-now but her name is Chyna XD
@@Noukz37 you right, you right
The change in facial and body expression after a dance session is NOTICEABLE. Pretty rad to see
Two years ago today my fiancé passed away suddenly, and this video made me think of even more reasons I miss her, which I didn’t think was possible. If you have someone to dance with, dance. 💜
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how devastating that must have been
❤❣❤❣❤
✨🙏🏼✨
🙏💜
Chyna is looking so great in this video. She always does, but this one especially. Don't know how she does it with the parenting and everything. Kudos!
The overdubbing make this like a million times netter. I LOVE it.
“Don’t be fancy, just get dancy!” I love this one. And I think the takeaway is dance anywhere and everywhere, when you’re doing other things and when you’re not, and it will make you feel better.
Your dad joining in was adorable 😊
I often break out into spontaneous dancing at home between noon-3pm when I'm listening to music. Seems to be the best energy time for me. Sometimes I can't stop myself. Especially if a good song is on
Nights after 9:00 PM usually are the time for me haha.
"Parenting cramps my marriage style"
Merch…(not that I have any money)
Spent all mine on the kids.
I agree, but I also don't want my kids to know that 🙈
I'd buy it lol
I can see how this would be difficult to do daily. My daughter swing dances 2+ hours with a fun partner every weekend. It's impressive how many complicated steps they've learned. Twenty minutes of two-stepping with my husband leaves me out of breath!
Thanks for having us. I'm still so sweaty somehow....
You should probably shower
@@wheezywaiter idk....
For me, the key is the music. Any time a certain song is playing when I'm showering, cooking, or whatever, I find myself starting to dance to it. And I've never enjoyed dancing. Some songs just make you want to dance.
Same :)
I actually dance a lot with my girlfriend, and most of the time it hapends wile cooking! I think it's normal to don't want to dance because of the lack of purpose of the task. For us, is an escape to doing something tedious, and it does help to finish the day on a high note
I really wish there was a word for "I'll love it if only I make myself start" so I could get a tattoo of it and live probably a much happier life. I feel the same way towards writing. It is one of the most pleasurable experiences I know of, and yet I can hardly ever find the motivation to start. THE WORST writing does to me is be difficult and MILDLY frustrating, so I don't know why it's so hard to make myself do it. Things like certain video games I obsess over starting, booting up a game immediately after I'm done working, and then hate the whole experience. Why does it work like this?? How have videogames and my phone tricked me into thinking I like them??
We should just invent a word for that. Something like... "pronble."
One of the most relatable comments I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Why do we do this to ourselves?!? 🤷🏼♀️
There's an expression close to it in German (of course!) called "innerer Schweinehund" (inner pig dog) that prevents you from starting.
Translated from the German Wikipedia: "It usually refers to overcoming one's inner pig, to illustrate that self-discipline, rather than personal inclination, is the decisive factor in completing a particular task. This connection also suggests a view according to which ultimately everyone has an inner swine and the flaw consists only in giving in to this unwillingness."
I'm not trying to sound the alarm needlessly here, but what you describe might actually be a sign of depression. I've experienced myself behaving in a similar way through several "episodes" by now.
You can try the following (but of course I cannot guarantee that it will help): Whenever you feel the reluctance you describe, go outside for a walk or running or something. If it's late or the weather is bad then do a short workout or some yoga/stretching instead. While you doing it, try not to focus on anything. Try to clear your mind.
Most importantly: Avoid falling into the pit of despising yourself for being unproductive or lazy. That's what initiates the downward spiral. Productivity is an arbitrary attribute imposed on us by systemic forces. There is not a single non-human being in this world that considers itself 'productive'; and certainly we haven't considered ourselves that in the olden days.
Wow, totally related to this comment! Writing, dancing, art, all of it lol. Laughed at the German expression but need something shorter (easier to pronounce 😆) and snappier!!
This turned out to be one of my favorites. Had me grinning and chuckling more than a few times! Your creative singing and lyrics, your dad casually appearing in frame during “around the globe”, Ada eating the camera, the compare and contrast of dancing experiences for both couples, and the inevitable awesome feeling everybody got from dancing on the days when you really didn’t feel like it. I think this was a life experience more than a challenge or habit to build.
Thanks for the music!
This reminds me of something I heard a wise man say: viz, of all the things you could do to fix your life, prioritizing fixing how you greet and relate to your spouse when they come home was the single most effective effort to make, because it paid such incredible dividends over time. This seems like a similar effort.
Amen. I also think if couples could kiss like they mean it -- even once per day, marriages could be saved. For reals.
Agree!
I really like this
For years my husband and I danced: at home, at local dances, at parties. The neighbors got a giggle and we got time together.
Damn, I remember i use to dance every other day in my tiny room when I was a teen thinking « I’ll totally dance every day in my living room when I’ll get my appartement » now that I rent said apparement i dance every other day in my tiny kitchen thinking « man I’d dance every day if I had more space »
It’s time for a change, thanks guys
Every morning I start my teaching day blasting cheesy 80s or 70s music to my students and dance frenetically... I am a French teacher, definitely not a Dance teacher. But just those 10 minutes of dancing and bopping gives me energy to deal with those imbecil..IMEANSTUDENS!!
Sometimes, watching you guys interact makes me tear up just a little. I’m not in a great place in my life, as I’ve been deeply depressed for several years now. I don’t leave the house very often, I don’t have any friends because I’m a recluse, and I’ve not had or pursued a romantic relationship in almost 4 years. But the tears don’t come from a place of sadness, but rather in pondering what I hope to have in the near future. Having recently turned 44, I realize that time is a wastin’ and that if I don’t get a move on, well...you know.
As for the dancing? Very entertaining. Very entertaining, indeed! And it looks fun, so I just may do a little of that.
I felt the same watching this.
same.... plus with the changes in the world, it is scarier and seems harder to find the people to enjoy in this way.
When you identify a fear or a wall, identify it as something to conquer.
I also have been in that place, hard to imagine yourself doing anything, yet the best part is that you can just give it a try, to your favourite song, on repeat if that works, Ive learned that creating small moments of joy, makes a huge difference in my day. Then they start adding up and you realize you can access some feel good joy anywhere! I also use a meditation app consistently and that’s been a life saver too. You are not alone 🤗
You have a very good mindset soyburglar (awesome name btw! xD haha) because if you know anything about manifesting you know that the best mentality to get what you want in life is to think (or rather imagine) what life you want to have, and as often as possible - rather than thinking about what you don't want in life (because doing so will attract the very same things since the universe can't differentiate whether the things you focus your energy on is positive or negative for you).
So thinking about what you want to have in the near future, rather than on what you DON'T have right this moment - is very beneficial for ones life.
If i could add my two cents it would be to - instead of hoping for something, imagine yourself in a scenario where you already have what you want. The deeper and more "true" that feeling can get, the faster/more effective it will manifest in your life!
Good luck!
Craig just showing off for 20 minutes a day LOL Sending well wishes to everyone xo
excited to watch this later. also doesn’t have to be a month but would love if you two tested out the 20 second hug effect.
I was unaware of this. Added to the idea list!
Oh, that sounds great.
Now I only need someone to hug..
@@lonestarr1490 I gotchu homie
@@IdiotWithEducation lol
My daughter in law does this and we all hate it ! Awkward lol
I think this is perhaps the best thing, ever. Just the singular best thing. Of all the things, this is the one best one.
It's Pizza
@@zijing9548 This is pizza.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 we actually danced last night and then had pizza and I think that whole thing was the best thing ever 😅 hope you're having a good time
@@zijing9548 I'm having an alright time but nothing could be a better time than dancing and pizza. I'm jealous.
Actually, here is a scientific way to determine what is THE best thing : ua-cam.com/video/ALy6e7GbDRQ/v-deo.html
I love dancing to Draft Puck’s “Around the Globe”
"Draft Puck" 😂
I don't think I've noticed before how similar Jack and Craig look lol.
But Jack’s the kinda guy who wears a hat indoors. Craig isn’t .
It's the beards. 🧔
I used to do dancing time with my kids every day before dinner, it was so cool and we felt really happy with it. Then we had problems with the neighbours and, even though they weren't caused by the dancing, things are really tense right now and we don't want to push it. If all goes well, we're moving next summer and I hope we can go back to our old routine.
dancing while making food, brushing teeth or vacuuming is the best. Maybe you should make round 2 for this 😉
I grew up doing ballet and figure skating. Then in my 20s I dabbled in swing dancing. I really want to get back into lindy hop but the pandemic has thrown a wrench in those plans. What I loved most about lindy hop was the spontaneity, the laughter and the liveliness. Since I can't do lindy hop, I've been doing cardio hip hop type classes (a bit more challenging moves than zumba). I've discovered that the only way I can get myself to exercise is if it's entirely, 100% fun. And for me, dancing fits that bill like no other exercise does. But at the same time, I do see dancing as very social, so I struggle to dance when I'm on my own in my apartment. That and my neighbors below hate it. This has been a very meandering comment, so in conclusion, what I love most about dancing is getting so wrapped up into the music and feeling confident in my body that I don't notice how hard I'm working and I stop stressing about my life--it's almost meditative.
what cardio hip hop classes have you been enjoying?
Lindy hop is such a goofy, happy, social dance. I've only done a bit of it but it's so much fun! And the thing you said at the end is the best, especially when you've been dancing for a while and the steps feel the same as walking
Ok I don't know where you live, but I'm a swing dancer, and the dances are opening up again! I'm in Michigan, and I've gotten to go to two different groups this past summer. I believe at least one of them will continue through the cold months indoors (Grand Rapids Original Swing Society, or playfully, GROSS)
I was a Lindy Hop (a kind of swing dance) teacher for the 9ish years prior to covidtimes, and I used to recommend my students do this kinda thing in addition to their lessons- especially to non-swing music. Learning to be happy and dance is a wonderful way to gain confidence, take yourself less seriously, and learn to enjoy moving before getting in your head about how to move... Of course, when it's safe I'd always recommend going social dancing (any style)! But this was very cool that you did this, I totally get that it was challenging, but I'm glad it brought at least some smiles to your faces! :)
As someone who has dances basically her whole life: I love dancing, but I rarely ever do it just at home for no reason. But I loooove dancing while doing household chores -cooking, Cleaning, doing laundry, tidying up.... It's so much more fun that way.
Yes, this! People think it's a waste of time when it's really just getting things done.
Rob and Tamara are like the glue that holds my UA-cam world together. How do they keep ending up being friends with everyone I watch on UA-cam?
I was definitely not expecting to see rob scallon in this video
@@jovianarsenic6893 Rob Scallon and Craig have been friends for years. He used to be in a lot more videos back when they did more music together so I was pleasantly surprised to see him.
@@InvdrDana similarly you can see Jake in a lot of Rob's videos because Jake does Rob's filming... it makes more sense when you realize that they're all kind of UA-cam neighbors
This is funny and adorable at the same time
Dancing is actually my favorite thing and this made me extra happy. I spent a lot of time in college ballroom dancing and it was truly some of the best days of my life! If you ever decide to take up ballroom dancing, there's a fantastic scene for it in Chicago!
I agree. I ballroom dance in Chicago and it is my favorite thing to do ever.
The rob scallon cameo was appreciated
I always forgett that rob and craig have been friends for a very long time
Also Hank Green and Jake 🤔
Dancing while doing things counts! I dance everyday with my 4 year old, and it's less of a planned activity and more of an opportunity we seize whenever it feels good. The kid is autistic and really teaches us a lot about how to use dance as a way to self- and co-regulate. We use dance to stretch, play, and generally break up the day. It's really organic so long as there's a lull you can create in your day to put on some music and "putz", as my mom would say. It's a delightful addition to the mental/physical health toolkit.
damn this is just too wholesome! I need to start dancing
Really genuinely brightened my day seeing the two of you dancing, especially the slow dancing which warmed my frozen heart. Stay awesome, you two!
What we learned is when Pomplamoose releases a music video they need to insert clips of Craig and Chyna dancing
Dancing like nobody was watching was the #1 thing that helped me through my quarantine depression! I really have felt awkward in my body my whole life, and I’m so glad I took that time alone to change that. It’s made me more aware of my posture and everything, I encourage anyone with anxiety / depression to just wiggle it out! Stimulate that vagus nerve!
I've been doing this for years - it's the absolute 2pm Slump killer.
I love dancing right before I jump in the shower. It’s the perfect time to dance to upbeat music, work up a sweat, then take a nice shower. I sleep so well! Great video BTW! 😃
@5:13 LOL Chyna's face when Craig was making a joke haha. It was so cute & fun to see you guys dancing together! And I love that you are both so comfortable with each other :)
Craig, please do a month of lucid dream training!! The steps would be extremely easy for you: consistent sleep schedule, dream journal, and 5-10 reality checks every day which take a couple seconds each.
You will not regret it, lucid dreams are the most mind blowing experiences I've ever had.
Craig has insomnia...consistent sleep schedule might be out of the question
Jack and nataly did this and it was really interesting
@@EllenBeal Coool, I hadn't seen that! Here it is for anyone else who's interested: ua-cam.com/video/Yti4yYZqtMo/v-deo.html
Lucid dream training can also lead to horrific nightmares and sleep paralysis. I am not Craig but for me the possible negatives have never outweighed the positives
@@Harri_Jay_Kay Interesting, I didn't know it could have that effect. I've heard of lucid dreaming being used to cure recurring nightmares but didn't know it could cause them, or cause sleep paralysis. Would you mind posting some references? I'd be interested.
Haven’t even watched and I know I’m gonna feel all the feels and I’m so ready for it
I feel like Ida will remember this the rest of her life. It's just a strong visual to carry with you--your parents dancing, singing, and joking together. Even if it's just a vague memory of joy and a faded image. Very cute video.
Best video you two have made ever!! Seriously. I loved the singing to replace the royalty music. But I'm so confused why you didn't give "Just Dance" on the Kinect a try. Me and my fiance dance to it almost every day and LOVE IT. We joke that we fell in love on the dance floor though :). But seriously!! It's so much fun and they have kids songs so your daughter can get involved too. I just gave birth (FTM) and am getting back in shape. I wake up wanting to exercise and having the Just Dance songs stuck in my head. I dance whenever I feel like it (usually when my daughter is sleeping behind me on the couch). Having it be a dance game makes us want to do better and get megastar on each song. It's a lot of fun.
This was really precious!
I'm a belly dancer so I dance most days either for classes or rehearsals or just for fun! Before I began performing though, I still loved dancing and one of my favorite things in the world is to go out and see live music and just dance! Also my bf and I do stupid dances a lot just to make each other laugh.
I think it's so good for the soul!
"you did. you did. you did."
chyna ur an icon
This just makes me all warm and fuzzy. Edit: I think we all deserve a wheezy version of flashdance. That man arching on a chair, yes!
Chyna is just gorgeous.
You are such a lovely couple. Xx
Midway through, I thought, “Isn’t it interesting how driven Jack and Nataly are to accomplish something more than just completing the challenge?” Now it’s some hours later and I’ve watched a few Pomplemousse videos (which is not uncommon as they are part of my dinner-making music rotation) and I think, “I think the only sad thing about BEING Pomplemousse is that it’s probably not that exciting to DANCE to Pomplemousse while making dinner.” So thanks, Wheezy and Chyna, for the concept, and thanks, Jack and Nataly, for BEING Pomplemousse so we can dance to you while making dinner.
Just danced with my 9 month old for 10 minutes to the pointer sisters. We both thank u guys.
I, at one point, very briefly, heaved joyful tears watching this. So thanks. You all did awesome. I’m not sure if I want to try this challenge with my husband or not but, I’m gonna consider it.
This is pure gold. So genuine. Really sparks joy!
Best month challenge for me so far ! I loved everything about that video from the singing, the dancing, non-dancing, cute interactions with your friends and daughter... now I just want to do the same :) I'm a dancer (ballroom and for fun ^^) but I have a rough path physically and mentally right now, your vid makes me want incorporate more dance in my life, in any shape it will take, even if I not up for it..! Thank you, have a great day !
Watching this video I wanted to dance more ... and now I do. Sometimes with music. Other times just randomly, making up my own music. One of my favorite Wheezy vids.
you 2 are lookin frickin FITT. also your song overdubs - magnificentt. this was your best "thing to try" ever. and your video editing musta been a monster on this one :)
This put a huge smile on my face, and motivated me to want to dance more... lol. You guys are great
Sneaking in a Tamara Chambers cameo like it's no big deal!
Freestyling is fun, but I also HIGHLY recommend picking up a copy of Just Dance! It's a video game series that I only started playing this year, and it can help scratch that itch that Nataly had of wanting to see your skills improve because you get to learn and practice choreography of varying difficulty levels, as well as expose you to fun songs you may not have heard before. There's also daily challenges if you're into that sort of thing. I always find myself wanting to do "just one more!" even though I'm sweating and dying because it's just so fun and lifts my mood so much.
First thing : Couples goals. Watching this was a pure joy to watch. You can tell there's a LOT going on in the background, but you can still see the joy, fun and love for each other.
Second thing : My (just hatched) theory is basically anything that is hard to 'start' is because of the subconscious system pushing against it. Dancing, especially, is something that we've basically been conditioned to think of as weird to do outside of situations it is 'acceptable'...to the point even by ourselves feels weird (no ones going to care cos they can't see it...promise I won't tell anyone if you won't :) ).
Not only do you have to work against the concept 'effort' (the human need for path of less resistance) but you also go against the social conditioning...I think understanding that makes it easier to push through it maybe. I've found music an important part of my recovery from a darker place, this video has made me think about kicking it up a notch :)
Wheezy has got the moves
I think if I were to do that challenge, I would probably include some times when I did famous dances from tv and movies. So dance like Sprockets and Night at the Roxbury, Footloose, Singin' in the Rain, Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Sweet Charity etc. So much fun!
I think it is more difficult when you HAVE to dance and when you're with another person. I dance fairly often, badly, completely alone, and it feels SO good to just completely let go with no judgement of myself. Definitely gets me pumped and puts a smile of my face
This was just so fun to watch! But yeah, it can often feel less fun to do something when you make yourself do it, but that's often how you find what you like and what you don't.
You all brought so many smiles my way with this awesome video! Thanks for being wonderful!
This is the sweetest 30-day challenge you’ve done! You two seemed so happy!
It was fun seeing Nataly & Jack participate in a challenge again. I was first introduced to them on your channel and ran into them a couple of months ago (while I coincidentally had one of their songs replaying in my head for days haha)!
this brought me so much joy! dancing once in a while is a beautiful thing to have landed on.
This was so wholesome and intimate, I loved it, thank you so much for sharing your dance journey ❤️
This is so beautiful:,) I love all the dynamics in this video
I used to dance about my apartment as part of my warmup before strength training every day. So much fun! This video makes me feel like I should do it again sometime...
I have got to try this! You guys crack me up and inspire me at the same time. We are from the midwest and I really "get" your humor. It's like being back home. 😊😂🥺
Nice job on the standing desk option there. First time I've seen ya use it. The science behind standing (and what happens to your body when you sit for like 6-8 hours a day) is amazing.
love Jack & Nataly Collabs ! yay , this was gold , very entertaining and enlightening , good stuff !
I loved it!! Craig, you and Chyna rock!!💕
I love this. I dance almost everyday. I dance doing chores, I dance brushing my teeth. I dance in front of the mirror. I dance just for the sake of it and by myself. Thank you for this video. So much fun.
Awesome video. Made me super happy and I'm gonna go dance with my wife now.
Craig and China, heart you guys. Rock on.
Oh my god, I had no idea Jack and Nataly were from Pomplamoose! I've enjoyed their music for a while now, and seeing them do these challenges adds a whole other awesome side to them! My favorite album is En Francais.
I'm going to do this with my kiddos!! I feel like it will be the perfect bonding activity. Thank you for this ❤
This was one of the most fun videos I have watched. Thanks! And I'm going to try dancing every day.
So much fun. Such a fun video. You need to dance whilst doing something else. I work early mornings and it's sometimes hard to get out of bed. But when I get to work I start dancing to the radio and feel better and much more motivated to get stuff done too.
"I feel like I should be doing something either productive or relaxing"
I feel attacked. Is this growing up?
the two of you are so wonderfully weird and great together....love when you do challenges together...I've tried a few...a couple stuck...I'm definitely trying this one
I loved this. I love that I have a family that dances. I think the key is to always be open to dancing around the house for no reason and not forcing it. If someone is dancing stop whatever chore or task you are doing and spend a few minutes laughing and dancing together.
I don't know why but just seeing you guys dancing and having fun made me smile so muuuuch! And now I feel like dancing too 😂
Fabulous!! Just watching made me smile😊, can’t wait for hubby to get home from working away, we often break out into a slow dance when “the perfect song” comes on and dancing alone is so freeing! Great video & awesome challenge😎🙌
Love you❤. Guys glad to see you both !! This good stuff thank s
I started this kind of dancing (alone, silly, in my kitchen) to hit my step goals! Fast and efficient way to get a ton of steps, energy, fun, and beauty in your life. This makes me want to dance tonight!
I literally dance all day lol I thought this would be about ballroom with your partner. It totally does leave me out of steam by a point in the evening.
Okay, I succumb to cute, joyful, couple pictures. Excellent alternative to the fact some of our couple friends that are in family court due to 2020 stress.
Thank you.
This makes me happy. Your content is just refreshingly funny and relaxing. 🙏🏻☺️
Heartwarming stuff. Love ya!
This was very helpful. I am a lifetime group exercise instructor; started back when we called it “aerobics.” I began dancing ballet at age 2 or 3, and have continued movement of many forms to this day. I understand that exercise is not for everyone, and a class is not for everyone. I have known that dancing to music, solo or with a partner, is so good for us, our body and our brain. I took for granted, however, that one wouldn’t enjoy dancing in their own home/space...for even up to 20 minutes. I laughed at the idea you guys couldn’t make it that long..then watching the video, and the comments, and “feedback,” etc....I learned something. Thank you. Oh, and of course I think “You Should Be Dancing” should be on everyone’s playlist.
Enjoy your philosophy (or lack of?) and watching you trying out life. It was nice seeing Pamp la Moose even though they didn't hold up their end too well. Think their dancing deficit is made up for with their music talent. Love your subject matter in all the videos. Good things to think about and let you try. Thanks!
I’ve been a ballroom dancer for 10 years. So I got so excited when ballroom dancing was mentioned in the beginning but then I see that didn’t happen. Dancing is my first and always love and I dance every day without even thinking about it. It makes me feel so happy and energizes me. It’s interesting to see people who don’t feel that way. I live to dance even if it’s just in my living room all by myself. I dance when I’m in the grocery store, at the gym, at work and of course at the dance studio. I couldn’t imagine life without it.
Happy to watch another upload
ahh love you Craig! Glad that I'm watching your videos again!
