If not, what about 15%? Maybe after the 20% there's another 5% to negotiate? Haggle with yourself and challenge how much effort/energy is needed to do what you're doing. Without necessarily moving or changing your position.
📖 This thought is a personal favourite, because it's easy and quick when I'm on the go. I tried thinking it while running, and even though I started slower than usual, I was enjoying myself more. I often have a slight soreness in the shoulders after a run, a certain tightness that, while running, feels like a resistance to the task; like I forgot to fully consent to running. I was quite surprised to find it was gone, along with other unnecessary tensions. I kept the thought with me during the day, it felt nice to be reminded of it. 🙂
10 minutes of mindful movement a day 🍂
For the month of October I will be posting a different thought/theme each day to bring some Alexander inspired mindfulness into daily activities.
To follow along, simply
đźš´ Choose an activity. It can be the same one or different each day
(the more inconsequential and boring the better)
🔍 Use the activity as an opportunity to explore the theme
đź“– Take note of anything interesting (I will be sharing some of my own notes/observations as I follow the themes too)
If you have any questions, thoughts, observations, disbeliefs, challenges, I would genuinely love to discuss it, so feel free to reach out.
Disclaimers:
1. These are some thoughts I have found helpful during my Alexander journey. They are definitely not all the technique is or has to offer.
2. âš Health and Safety âš
Don't choose an activity that requires to to handle a vehicle or sharp object, or can put you or others in danger.
