Just Do It?

The effects of the Alexander Technique can be dramatic, but most of the time they are gradual and inconspicuous. Although not always striking, these effects are often more enduring and complete. For that to happen you have to have a clearly defined but open-ended goal: you have to find out the truth of how you're using yourself. You need to know whether or not your enthusiasm for getting things done is actually interfering with the very mechanisms that do the doing. The act of Noticing helps because it brings a spontaneous orderliness and efficiency to anything you. It's penetrating yet gentle influence distills out unecessary movement and leaves you doing only what needs to be done. You don't "Just Do it", you do just it.
