Oh boy, we are so formed by our society! Well… at least I am… Every now and then a thought shoots through my head: “But, you can’t do that… or can I?” Can I really just opt out of the rat race? Can I leave my day-job and from now on just do what I’m enthusiastic about?!? I drive through Wuppertal on a sunny morning (which in itself is an oxymoron) to work and see people rushing along the sidewalks, and I realize that I will soon not belong to them anymore. I will stop the wheel and get off. It’s incredible that we think there is no other way. “That’s how you do it!” My favorite questions these days is: “How do you know?” That’s how it’s done? How do you know? Have you ever tried to do it differently? And what happened then? It starts with the little things. For example with the way how we get out of a chair. Or how we sit in front of the computer. In Alexander Technique lessons, I have often seen that things can be done differently. Little things and big things. And it’s fun to do things differently!
