Special Project

March 13, 2023/0 Comments/in Awareness Through Movement, Feldenkrais Method, Weekly Newsletter /by Gika Rector

The article below was featured in my March 13, 2023, e‑mail newsletter. To subscribe to the newsletter, please use my contact form.

Dear Reader,

I’m more or less obsessed lately with my special project. Truth be told, it’s more rather than less. It’s a sewing project, with a looming deadline. And, it’s one of those projects that necessitates figuring it out as you go along.

The figuring out is based on previous expertise, a fair amount of research (online searches, videos, books, knowledgable friends), and lots of thinking things through.

And courage. Courage to take the next step, cut into the special fabric, and keep on going. The looming deadline is actually helpful in boosting the courage. Or perhaps it’s really just fear of not getting it done. Either way, even productive procrastination (I think I learned about that from Austin Kleon) can only take you so far.

With that said, i’m going to go back to the sewing table and keep on keeping on. I’ll take some breaks here and there, including time for private sessions and our weekly online Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson on Tuesdays. Reminder: no class on Tuesday, March 28.

Whatever you’re working on, special or not, have all the fun you can!
