Mantra of the week...
41. Laugh.
People visiting the studio often comment on how much we laugh. Since I've become aware of this, I use it as a barometer of how comfortably we are expressing ourselves.
I feel like this is something that I do a lot in class and could even do more of. I feel that I work better in a 'fun' class and seem to get better ideas when I am in a good mood.
1. Allow events to change you.
You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and the willingness to be changed by them.
I need to learn that change is a good thing... not quite gotten there yet.
