As people who create things—whether we are creating art, ideas, or objects—we often (and rightly) focus on the content and material of what we're making. Even so, there's another question to consider: how do we want people to feel? What is our intention in creating this thing? What flavor, scent, experience, are we putting into the world? What is that element, dynamic, or value that we care about, and can we infuse our actions, activities, and creations with its essence?

Welcome to Thriving in Plain Sight.

We're taking the time you don't have, to do the thing you don't have time to do. Isn't that wonderful? The beauty of awareness is that it transforms a random, passing moment into a rich, sacred space. Let's do a short embodiment practice together. Come closer. Deepen into this tiny window of time. Change the quality of your experience. Then, go on with your day or evening.

Freeze happens: especially when we are confronted with an I-can't, or an I-don't-know.

In time, you'll begin to notice when you are moving through freeze, and what it looks and feels like in your experience. It might feel like walking through molasses, or like a heavy-limbed feeling. It might feel like confusion, procrastination, or self-doubt.

Here's where body awareness and somatic practices come in. Start here: drop your shoulders. Relax the muscles in your face. Wiggle your toes. Touch your face. Come back to yourself.

Freeze is funny because the mind says that nothing you do will ever be enough. That's not true. Small works. Slow works. Let's practice together.

As life speeds up, we slow down. Slow is a practice, not a concept. It's a stance and orientation. It's noticing what is available, right now.

In this episode, we return to the somatic invitation to breathe, and feel, and notice. What does this look like in the thick of interaction?

This is the counterpoint to the frantic moments, to being overwhelmed, to the arbitrary urgency, and the much-too-much.

During our short time together, try something different. Adopt anti-scurrying laws. Inhale slowly. Exhale with a sigh. Drop your shoulders. Relax the grimace.

Adjust your stride. Slow down. We're talking a minute, maybe two. Add sixty seconds to what you were doing before. Give yourself just a little bit of room. Practice inhabiting a different rhythm and pace. Taking your time is an expression of power.

Listen to this episode twice.

Walk through the somatic door.

To have agency means we have choices and the ability to make an impact.
Sometimes, we actually do have power. We do have control. We can make choices. 

So let's play. Let's change our posture and bearing, and see where that takes us.

Take a moment. Get steady. Get grounded. Slow down. Return to yourself. This episode includes an embodiment practice for replenishment. 

The practice is to notice. That is all. We are noticing to notice, not to fix or change. Noticing is the point. Noticing is the practice. It's the end result. 

Noticing delivers a quiet and beautiful gift: arrival in the present moment.

Touch your face. Remember you're a person. Reignite your vitality and humanity by choosing to take this time for yourself. You don't need a day or a week. A few minutes is plenty.

Return to this practice often. Start with Episode 29 and let the rest play: 30, 31, 32, 33 and today's episode. Each episode includes a short embodiment practice.

Slow down. Take up space. 

In today's episode, we consider the relationship between rhythm, embodiment, and power. 

If you haven't already, tune in to Episode 29. From that episode onward, we are experimenting with including present-moment embodiment practices in each episode.
