Focus

Dear Reader,

Y’all might have noticed that I tend to have a lot of projects going at any given time. I like the variety—different types of activities with varying levels of complexity and mental demands.

Sometimes there are too many options and I wander around in circles, wondering what to play with next. I did a bit of that kind of wandering today—until my client came. Then, it was so easy—and fun—to focus in on what she was interested in. To create new ways to explore the kinds of questions she had about movement.

It’s fascinating how quickly we can come into focus. Putting the earlier meanderings and questions and hesitations aside and zeroing in on what’s right in front of us. Time disappears. It feels effortless—and interesting and fun.

What causes you to shift from meandering to focus? Can you make that shift intentionally? In either direction? Sometimes it’s best to focus, and sometimes we really need to meander.

Whichever it is for you in this moment, have all the fun you can!

Please note that I’ll be doing a different kind of meandering next week, so no private sessions that week and no Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movment class on Tuesday, November 11. We’ll have class and private appointments this week, and then pick up again on November 18.

This week’s online Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons will be at the usual time, 11:30 a.m. (US Central.) It’s still Free/Pay as You Wish.

If you’re interested in working with me privately—through Feldenkrais, coaching, or felt-making—you can Make an Appointment or reply to this email and let me know what you’re interested in exploring.

Happy trails, y’all!
