Shake things up
To agitate is to stir up or disturb.
You can agitate a liquid by shaking it, agitate a crowd by rousing strong feelings, or agitate for change by persistent advocacy: Activists agitated for voting rights.
Someone who is agitated is anxious, restless, or emotionally unsettled: The news left her visibly agitated.
