Excess Effort Detector

One of the most useful things about Noticing is that you can use it as an "excess effort detector." If you start an activity by Noticing the moment you try to use more effort than is necessary you stop Noticing. This means that you can use Noticing to experiment with different approaches to the same activity. It allows you to test out different ideas and get objective feedback as to their usefulness. It's a great way to refine your understanding and application of ideas such as: "Allow your neck to be free", "back to lengthen and widen" and "head forward and up".
