| Learn how to bring your body to an Event with Joy © |
| By Stephanie Wood |
| Events form the moments of our lives. We look forward to them with excitement and joy.
We cherish the times when we can gather with others, when we deepen the bonds with them. That’s because events are something that usually involves a hug! The warmth we feel when we share our lives with others illumines our experience and creates the fabric of our life story.
And events are anything that takes you out of your routine – they can be happy moments, or they can be transitions – all joyful, all full of movement.
Caution: Some events can take us out of our comfort Zone and this is when you are susceptible to slipping out of your relationship with your body.
***Here are 3 Body Knowledge ™Steps that will make all the world of difference
#1 Prepare
When you prepare for an event, you want to move with it. Ask your body how she feels about this event, and move with your body. Take her for a walk, do movement, clean out the garage, weed the garden, walk the dog. Whatever feels natural to you, do it. Stretch – or run. Go to the place where you can ask your body – in movement – to tell you how you want to negotiate this event.
#2 Create a Game Plan
Think of an upcoming event. Prepare (as much as you can)
Ahead of time
how you can make your body feel as comfortable as possible.
#3 Get Practical
Expectations of others may challenge our relationship with our body.
Some of these are spoken (perhaps in the invitation when the hours and attire of the event are announced), or perhaps by family members or loved ones who will attend with us. Very likely, the reason we’re going to the event is to experience it with these people. So, remember to bring your body with you to the event.
Footnote:
Enjoy yourself with your body so that both of you have an enjoyable time with everyone around you.
