LEARNING NEW EVERY DAY
Relatively organized study space, Keke is not impressed tho!
Well deserved an in-between screen time walk.

LEARNING NEW EVERY DAY
Hello February! The beginning of the year is always a slightly quieter time in my line of business, but this year (after 15 years, ha) I have decided to enjoy the slower pace instead of getting stressed about it. If you were my neighbor you probably would have had enough of the noise of the sander or the endless intelligent discussions that Storm, Keke, and I have in the garden :) I have truly embraced the time for crafting, some treasures from second-hand shopping hunts have waited for a long time to get a new life! It has also been a great opportunity to study Bowen and revisit some notes from previous modalities like visceral manipulation and Reiki.
Learning is an interesting concept, like with everything starting is the hardest bit. If you have ever peaked through the door from the treatment room to the lounge, you can see that I’m a messy learner, everything needs to be spread out, just enough space to sit in the middle of the chaos and absorb the knowledge. Would love to hear stories of how you guys learn? Professional learning is important and also a must-do if you want to stay interested and passionate about your job but we should never neglect the small grains of knowledge we gain every day if we keep our eyes and ears open. This is one of the things I love and appreciate in my job, in every session I gain something as well. New conditions make me want to search for more info of course, but also clients sharing their knowledge is very valuable for me. Random bits I have learned in the past month from you include electricity knowledge, tips for varnish and paint options, help with gardening and indoor plants, and info on what’s going on in the community. What have you learned in the last month?
Your challenge for the next month is to embrace the learning! It doesn’t matter what you are learning as long as it’s new for you. Our brain loves a challenge and it’s like super food for the brain to make it learn something new. Since you all follow my instructions diligently, you’ll have your diary up and running for journaling and planning! That’s why it will be super easy to write down in your diary when and what you’ll be learning, and then all you need to do, is do it! Simple isn’t it, haha. If you are like me and you get easily distracted you need to plan a little more througrouly. It’s the old classic of exam week, everyone's apartment is spotless, as cleaning suddenly becomes a great way to procrastinate. This is still me every time I should sit down and study. Here’s some tips that help me:
Create a space for studying, and keep it clean and clear
Write down what you want to achieve AND keep it reasonable!
Allocate the time slot and stick to it (No matter how appealing vacuuming seems)
Negotiate with yourself, I do this now and then I can go and do the fun stuff, keep it in your mind to keep you going
Turn off your phone, or at least notifications, if you need your phone for learning
Start! Just do it, take a deep breath or several if needed! This gives you a perfect opportunity to add a little breathing exercise to your day 🙂
Every time your mind wonders get back to breathing to center you
Remember breaks and stick with the plan
Clear the space after the session, and put everything away in good order. It’s like sealing what you learned instead of letting it scatter away.
Everything starts with one single breath, keep that in mind and enjoy learning.
Speaking of learning, I will be heading to the next Bowen course next week. I have a few names down for the next lot of case studies, but I will need more, so please let me know if you would like to be part of my learning path.
Enjoy the knowledge. If you need help with breathing exercises or sorting out your body after learning new skills I’ll be here to help as always.
Love

Learning requires practicing, if your masters say you can do it, you can do it. Whether it’s fitting in the box or climbing a tree doesn’t matter, just keep practicing!
