What is The Alexander Technique?

NEVER HEARD OF The Alexander Technique? Simply put, it is a system of psycho-physical re-education. It helps people re-learn how to use their whole self (mind and body) so that they can function with greater ease. For more information, check out this website: AlexanderTechnique.com. Also, please check out my first blog post as an introduction to F. M. Alexander.

Fighting the "Good Student" Syndrome

There are countless times a day I find myself in my old "comfortable" habits.  And then I immediately get frustrated with myself, "Oh. My. Goodness.  Why am I in this position?!  Haven't I learned anything through my AT years?" etc. etc.

Then of course after that, I tell myself, "it's alright... we all have habits.  Even my teachers fall into their habits."  While I try to convince myself of this message, I secretly still wish I was "doing better" with AT.  I want to be a prize pupil.  I want to have amazing use all the time so that I my future self will thank me!

(sigh)

I think I'll be having this conversation for awhile.
