But I need you to give me exercises. Tell me what to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I remain diplomatic and say &#8220;You show me the exercises you are doing and I will help you apply ideas from the Alexander Technique to those exercises.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">At his fourth lesson, he repeats his request: &#8220;Give me exercises, give me something to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I say to myself \u201cThinking is doing something. Using less exertion to successfully accomplish what you are doing IS doing something. Paying attention and conserving effort IS doing something. It&#8217;s doing things, just differently. But this doesn&#8217;t satisfy his request: &#8220;Tell me what to DO.&#8221; But I don\u2019t say this aloud.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I ask him &#8220;Remind me how old you are?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">After he answers, I say &#8220;Considering you have been doing things your way for over 60 years, without thinking about them the way I am teaching you, and you&#8217;ve had less than 5 hours of Alexander lessons to learn how to do things differently, I think you are making incredible progress. Take a moment and let that sink in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">After a real pause, he says &#8220;That&#8217;s good, I need that kind of reinforcement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I know at our next lesson, he&#8217;s going to ask me to tell him what to do. So this week, I am going to compile active verbs so he has something he can do:<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Conserve muscle effort<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Slow down<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Breathe<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Unclench<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">If you know you\u2019d benefit from slowing down, but you find yourself rushing ahead, come and see me.
