When your body feels safe, if performs better. Your balance improve, your lines open and your mind stays clear. You need: breath-work, mobility, fascia release. They're not a luxury - they're the missing link. Ayca Anil
We are talking about stress again here today and no, we are not talking about your dance routines. If you are like me, you might end up hurting your hamstring or something else.
Now that is in your head, let's get serious for a bit.
We have talked a lot about the stress with writing and publishing. It is up to you to make sure that when it is time to write and work, you are in the mood to write and you are in the right space to work. When Anil talks about training the nervous system, she is talking about training the body to make sure the body is "wired" to function properly to dance. To make sure the "electrical" system is working properly so that your breathing is correct, so that the fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones nerves, blood vessels, and organs throughout the body), are all relaxed enough so that you can think clearly.
You might think this is impossible. How can I do that with my life going on around me? You are right. It is tough. Life does get in the way. In fact, as I was writing this, I thought it was quiet around the house but my daughter was heading out to work, my son came home from swimming and the dentist, the laundry was going and some solicitor came up to the door and fortunately I got there before she decide to knock on the door and send my 6 year old American Coon Hound into a complete psycho-frenzy-fit. Stress level? I think not.
But you can:
- Find the time of day that works best for you
- Make sure your desk is clear of clutter
- Invest in the right chair and desk
- Music and lighting is important
- Have your snacks and drinks available
- Stand and stretch
- Move around
- Look outside
- Pet the dog and reward him or her for being so good
- Go dance like Chris Farley (I recommend with the windows shut)
