How To Train Your Mind: Movement
In today's episode, we are back again with our How To Train Your Mind series covering movement or how to move well. This may seem counterintuitive to some. How does moving the body help people train their minds? As with many aspects of training the mind, being able to move well allows you to build awareness of the body and, by extension, the mind when you're not in a training environment. From my own experience, I've found that as a beginner, there is resistance when training. Your body is not accustomed to the movements. As you gain experience, the activity can become more internal in the sense of how nuanced that movement feels. A movement practice also becomes a place where you can push yourself to failure that is, for the most part, safe. For me, moving well allows me to become comfortable with failure at a personal level but still be able to try again.
