When Work Doesn’t Feel Like Work

September 2, 2024/0 Comments/in Awareness Through Movement, Feldenkrais Method, Weekly Newsletter /by Gika Rector

Dear Reader,

Today is Labor Day here in the United States. To celebrate, many of us take the day off and don’t work. As it happens, I worked today. But it didn’t feel like work. The pleasure of spending time with bright curious people who are investing time and energy in making useful changes is remarkable. How can that feel like work?

And since today is a holiday, I think I’ll pretty much leave it at that—celebrating that I get to do work I love, with people like you who are amazing..

Here’s hoping that you have fun and interesting work to celebrate. And that the people with whom you work and play help to make it interesting and rewarding.

If you feel like exploring how you move—in your body, your life, your creativity—I’d love to join you in that process. Here are some options:

Tuesday’s online Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson is Free/Pay as You Wish.

If you’re interested in a personalized approach to making a difference in your own life, Book an Appointment for a free consultation—or a Feldenkrais or Coaching or felt-making private session.

If you like to plan ahead, mark your calendar for Saturday afternoon, November 16, our next Feldenkrais mini-retreat at the Jung Center of Houston. The following Saturday afternoon, November 23, is my next Felting workshop at the Jung Center of Houston. So much fun!

Have all the fun you can!
