Jenna, your ...Thanks for your inspiring comments! <br /><br />Jenna, your analogy about your singing training is so perfect. I love it. <br /><br />Structure = Freedom<br /><br />Now that I'm running again I'm seeing this in a physical sense. The more I train, the more I enjoy my daily runs. And can just be in the moment to enjoy the scenery and the actual accomplishment of running. For me, it's a big accomplishment. <br /><br />I love this conversation. I hope more people comment. What do you have to say?

I completely agree about ...You are SO inspiring. <br /><br />I completely agree about structure. I was once taking an acting class and I'll never forget it. The teacher said, in order to be totally free to really be impulsive you must have structure and practice, practice, practice. This seemed completely wrong to me. I thought, in order to be in the moment and not "think" about what I was doing, I had to practice? It just didn't make sense. Then I was driving home from class with the radio blasting and I was thinking so intently on this word of advice when I realized I was ALSO singing a song. Then it hit me...I didn't have to think about what I was singing, I had trained as a singer my whole life. I practiced singing every day. I was FREE to singing it, all the words ingrained in my brain, all the notes just flowing without thinking about it. I was struck that this was a perfect example of being "in the moment" without thinking about it. It was so interesting how that structure provided for me an opportunity to sing out without any thought. <br /><br />On another note, I have done the same thing for August. Instead of looking at it as depressing, I am looking at it as a time to create the structure I need so that I can be free to create the new year as I see it! (I've always looked at September as the start of a new year because it's my birthday month and it's when school starts). So, HERE'S TO A NEW YEAR!!!!!Jennanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199601217781594776.post-40286469382443933472009-08-03T10:56:19.027-05:002009-08-03T10:56:19.027-05:00I completely agree with the idea of needing struct...I completely agree with the idea of needing structure to feel free. The thing is that you can create new structure wherever you are. I find that I feel "depressed-ish" until I do. It sounds like you have a good attitude, despite the blues of August.Kim Hooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04390764721793745017noreply@blogger.com
