Dear Students:
When I realized that my ability to concentrate was increasing with each Awareness Through Movement lesson, I decided to take it a step further and explore in a similar way while doing daily activities. I hoped this would soften my attitude towards monotonous duties. I am happy to say I found this to be true and that I received other benefits as well.
When I pay close attention to what I am doing and how I am doing it, I can turn a perceived burden into a thoughtful experience. But I have to 
remember to tune in, first. I found it hard to do this when engaged in something I dislike doing. So I decided to use the dreadful feelings that come up when carrying out a chore, as signals to remind me to stop “sleeping”.
For instance, when I sense that I don’t feel like brushing my teeth, I am able to notice myself rushing through it. Becoming conscious of this instantly allows me to slow down and lighten my grip on the toothbrush. Then I can attend to each tooth with more curiosity and comfort. The two minutes of brushing seems to go much faster when I do this and it is much more enjoyable.
I also use these skills when I become aware of my mind racing. If I discover 
that I am not able to comprehend a sentence while reading, I tell myself that the repetitive thought can wait. Then I can concentrate fully on the written words. Due to continued practice, I love to read today! This is an accomplishment that took lots of practice.
My growing attention span continues to give color to once bland tasks and helps me let go of dark thoughts & feelings quicker. As a result, patience comes easier making my work and relationships more harmonious. This greatly encourages me to keep “waking up” to every day life and I hope it inspires you as well!
