In my pursuit of self growth, I have been attending to my wellbeing and how I 'walk' in this world.
I don't want to walk, I want to dance my way through life with such grace.
So I need to sit, stand and move as a dancer does (much respect ☺️). This means training - learning and practice. Training is often thought to be extreme, pushing the limits so to speak. It is this but also can be easy and fun.
I am learning to work smarter, not harder. My intention is to make these changes and tasks enjoyable, achieve multiple goals/desires at once and do so with ease - without pushing too much. Zone of Proximity.
With this all in mind, I found a ritual for exercising, training, playing and practicing wonder/gratitude.
I have the perfect walking trail. I play at the playground, testing balance, gravity and harmony with my body. I swing and think about the sky and space. I walk on to an oval with an outdoor stadium; it has the loveliest view. Here I walk along the ledge, balancing, holding position, treading lightly, toes first, head up, posture correct, moving slower and faster depending on my grasp of coordination and balance.
I want to dance and walk beautifully.
I'm getting better at moving with confidence and grace, remembering posture, how to focus (without pushing) and breathing well.
I continue my walking journey, enjoying the sights of people, sunset, landscape and then musing over whatever takes my fancy.
A wonderful ritual this has become, with so much value attained and little time spent. Smarter not harder.
