Exercising more choice over how you come across

Glasgow-based Alexander-Technique instructor Paul Marsh has just posted a great blog about the connection between our body language habits and the way people perceive us and respond to us.

More importantly, he shows how we can re-gain more control over this process by applying the Alexander-Technique:

Many people are unconscious of the postural habits that take over when they’re in conversation. 

It’s often fascinating to be shown how you can exercise a greater level of choice over how you respond to situations, and to be less of a slave to unconscious habit.

This has far reaching implications, from improving posture (and ridding yourself of problems like a sore knee or back) to approaching situations of all kinds in a more spontaneous, fresh and creative way, including social situations.

(...) And if you practice Alexander Technique already, you’ll find it a bit easier to let your whole body just come into a natural, non-held state of poise.

Habe heute einen Golf-Schnupperkurs mit meinen Alexander-Technik-Kollegen gemacht. Very interesting! Spannend...

...wie sehr sich gutes Lehren und Lernen ähnelt - sei es Sport, Musik, Handwerk, Schule, ... oder Alexander-Technik!
Ein toller Tag und eine tolle Erfahrung! Vielen Dank an den Golf-Coach, an die Kollegen für den Austausch - und Gudrun Lehn für den Funny Day! (that's an insider)
