Hi there,
Standing on one foot is useful.
But real life almost never asks you to stand perfectly still on one foot while staring straight ahead.
You’re stepping over rocks.
Turning around.
Looking behind you.
Reaching for something.
Getting dressed while refusing to sit down because apparently we’re stubborn. 😂
So let’s make your balance practice look a little more like life.
Stand on one foot.
Now slowly:
Turn your head right and left.
Reach one arm overhead.
Reach across your body.
Look up.
Look down.
You can keep one finger near a wall or countertop so you have something to grab if you need it.
The goal isn’t to never wobble.
The wobble is part of the work.
You’re teaching your body to adjust when the rest of you moves.
And THAT is balance worth practicing.
Until next week,
Karen
