Less is More!

My students and I are often surprised by how things that seem so complicated can really be so simple. Breathing, for instance, is one of those things. You don't need a huge breath in, where your whole body swallows up every bit of air possible. You get much more with a small breath that fills the diaphragm, and then that is supported by the abdominal muscles. Less is more!

With regard to fear and anxiety, I no longer spend a lot of time talking clients through it. We talk about it, we devise ways around it, and then we decide to not make it bigger and more important than it has to be. By giving credence and too much attention to problems, they can seem bigger and more difficult to overcome. So with any kind of self-talk, less is more!
