Reset To Your Default Postural Settings

I was troubleshooting with wi-fi recently when my software asked me:

"Do you want to reset to your default factory settings?"

I said yes, and I started all over. It solved my problem. And I thought – that's what our students must do too! I wish there were a switch for it.

Yes, we reset Posture to their original default settings! 

To tell your students what this looks like, send them over to your local Kindergarten and take a look at how the children are running, bending, reaching, turning – it is beautiful to watch. 

You are looking at Posture on its default setting.

So why isn't that the case with adults? What happened to our defaults?

Nothing really – they are still there, they are still available. What has happened is that you have added many extra routines to your posture – and these new routines have complicated it way beyond what is necessary.

A new routine is a postural command to do something – like holding in your tummy or sitting up straight in the chair. Or even – pardon my rudeness – going back to the back, or moving "up" or any of those reality-weak instructions that Alexscovery teachers indulge in. 

It's not happening in kindergarten.

You do these postural commands so often; they become new postural habits. If you are a singer, musician, teacher, yogini, AT teacher or have any hobby – you also adopt specific postural routines. By the time you are an adult - you have so many of these routines; you are not even aware of them anymore.

Here's the brutal truth: most of them don't work. 

These new postural routines confuse your system - eventually, all kinds of red lights start flashing, telling you that you are out of order!

Of course, not literally a red light - they come in the form of postural pain and fatigue. Your eyes get tired, your back gets sore, your neck hurts, and you get headaches. These are just some of the "postural red lights" warning you.

Of course, you are not deliberately trying to mess things up. No-one does that!

Like my wi-fi, I didn't want it to stop working, but I had messed around with it too much, and I couldn't get it to work anymore. I needed to reset it to the factory settings and start all over again.

Alexscovery teachers know those original postural settings. It's not about adding a whole lot of new things; it's about getting rid of a whole lot of unnecessary things.

At ATSuccess – you can take a long, fresh look at the way you help others (and your Self). You can ask profound questions about your teaching, the way you communicate it and who you want as students. 

Maybe you have your default to refind?
