Day 10: Going Deep

Day 10: Going Deep
What I did: Pelvic Clock, shoulder clock, and passive rotation
Intention: Listen to my body
Result: It was a fair to middling experience.

More?
I almost skipped my task today, but after talking to several people today about how setting this intention has kept me moving and accountable, I couldn't give up. Initially, I was going to do a mat workout. Last night,  I woke up in the middle of the night, and I was sick to my stomach this morning, so much so that I thought about calling in sick today. I still feel a little woozy and out of it, but mat work seemed like a way to pass the time. I lied down on the mat and felt askew. So I worked through some pevic tilts and thought to myself, how often do I spend time exploring my movements deeply these days. In theatre school, we would spend an entire hour doing Feldenkrais pelvic clocks. So, I went there. Pelvic clock for 20 minutes, 10 minutes on each shoulder, and holding a passive spine rotation stretch for a few minutes each. All in all it felt good, but I still feel wonky.

It did make me remember sometime how much  I like mindful, simple movements, as well as how wobbly even the tiniest movement can feel if it isn't executed frequently.
