Life Lessons Learned

Worrying today won’t change trouble tomorrow. Look for ways to replace the energies of worry to paths of ease and pleasure. How might you come at your concerns with a different perspective? Consider little baby steps to move into another place. Listen to your breathing to sense how your breath can move your entire self into an improved place.

These things will define you; finding patience when you feel you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything.  After all, you are confined only by the walls you build around yourself.  Remove the walls, open to the day you are in and make it one of your favorite days because you learned something to help move you forward. Each day you learn something new is it’s own reward.

As I write this, I was invited last minute to travel to New York City. To participate in something I am so passionate about, another Feldenkrais training program. Suddenly, surprised, I paused to find the best choice to make in order to move forward.  I listen within, consider options and possibilities to chose from and I begin to sense and feel what is the right course of action.  These are strategies I share because if they work for one, they surely will work for another.

“The possibility of a pause between the creation of the thought pattern for any particular action and the execution of that action is the physical basic for awareness.” Dr Feldenkrais

Lessons this week to encourage finding yourself, your breath and comfort within.  And while I anticipated 4 ATM lessons this week, because of sitting in this moment of pause, I can say it might be that I will only be able to offer 2 classes this week if I do venture off to NY to work again with a new group of trainees transitioning into practitioners.  For those receiving my weekly links, I will keep you posted if there is a gentle shift from 4 to 2 ATMs.  Either way, lots to listen to, explore and play with.

With Valentines Day only a couple of days away,  here’s hoping each day becomes another of your favorite days. As we all know, life is not the way it’s supposed to be, it’s the way it is.  It’s in the way we cope with it, that makes the difference.

Warmest,
