Movements for Change
Following are exercises to help you cultivate and nourish the gifts of Spring on your own. Adjust them to suit your style.
• Make a list of your goals for today. Feel the satisfaction as you check off completed tasks.
• Think of something you are angry about. Vent your anger so that the emotion can move up and out of your body - yell, jump up and down, punch a pillow, sprint, crush cans.
• Practice saying “No.”
• Reorganize your work area. Remove anything you do not regularly use. Start in one corner or drawer and work your way through the task over time.
• Write a poem, make a collage, plant a tree, sing a song, paint a picture, do a dance - use your creative gifts.
• Practice your ability to bend physically and mentally. Stretch your body and mind. Do ten minutes of stretching and then put your mind to a task. Notice the difference in how you feel and how your mind works.
