Let my body feel , not think .
Nathalie Fust i Allmänt
Finally some time to clean my head from all the thoughts that have been running like racer cars in my brain . Just had my coaching phone meeting with Adam Parson . I feel a lot better after that call . Didn't have the best day today . To much thought and worries about the future . Because of all the worries I didn't performed my best danceclass today .
I Think to much . To much thoughts about : where am I in a few months , what is going to happen to me ? what if this happens .. and so on .
After the call with adam I finally find some peace with my thought , that have been driving me crazy all day long . On thing he told me was : When you are in it , no one can touch you . But when you are not , then you are not . Maybe sounds a little bit funny the way I write it . But I know exactly what he means . When I stop thinking about what is wrong and instead just let my body feel the movement and the happiness I get from dancing , Then its magical .
This made me think about one special moment that I had at my last year in Carlforsska Gymnasiet . The show all of the graduated students did . I was dancing in a ´choreography and I had to do a very simple move . We can call it " smell the laundry " . The scene was in a laundry room and I had to pretend that I was smelling my clean laundry , and make the audience feel the same experience and feeling . My first thought : really ? how can I make the audience feel like they are smelling a clean towel when I only do a simple move with my hands up to my noise . The first rehearsel I was thinking : this is silly
My thought were stoping my body instead of helping it . The movement just went to a robot move . No feelings at all . But when it was time for the performance I just let all the thought letting go . I just did it and I really felt the smell of clean laundry . I did it because I accepted my body to feel that feeling .
My teacher came up to me after and said : You are magical , I felt the fresh smell of clean laundry just by looking at you a.
So what have I learned from that ? I didn't understand it till after my talk with adam today . I just need to let my body do and feel what it wants to feel . Not force it and think about what is wrong .
So todays note : let your body feel and not think
Enough with the deep talk .
