"It's easier to act your way into a new way of thinking than to think your way into a new way of acting.'"
-Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity
Tip from “The Align Method” (Aaron Alexander)
Move the way you want to feel. This is a three-step process that will take some thinking outside of the traditional box for some.
Step one: Think about how you would like to feel. It could be strong, confident, humble, graceful, powerful, flexible, aggressive, humorous, light, or anything of the sort.
Step two: Visualize the way your body moves when you feel this way, and be specific. Notice how your arms and legs swing when you walk, how you sit, stand, breathe, communicate, and even the tone and pace of your voice.
Step three: Take a walk and explore moving in the way you just visualized. How does it feel? Start actively thinking about moving more this way as often as is reasonable, choose sports or activities that promote this style of movement, and begin to notice how your postural patterns affect the way you think and feel.
