I make some connections between the mechanics of doing versus the authentic expression of being. I’m taking Brazilian Zouk class and I recognize how I do one thing is how I do everything. In football, I was mechanical and it was “enough” to get by and to my goal. In relationships, work, it was all the same, but where I broke through this was in Yoga, running my nonprofit, podcasting. I find the most success when the mechanics become tools to use and this video here really put rhythm into a visual for me: https://youtu.be/2UphAzryVpY?feature=shared
That video showed me what looks like atomic motion in action as I try to stop conceptualizing dance and just, express my own rhythm. It’s the same as finding my voice, being myself, living authentically, it’s just within the game of something where it can be shared and experienced elsewhere.
The things I’ve done, I can do mechanically, but I recognize there’s so much more that translates from rhythm into dance to rhythm in any identity expression. When I bring MY rhythm to that which has a template or flow, I’m free to play within the “rules” of it without making the rules the game. In doing so, I’m free to play! I’ve been seeing that everywhere lately and the resistance I have to release is of my own limitations to locking in to the mechanics.
