A few months ago, I wrote a piece titled You’re Working Too Hard, introducing a series of lessons teaching you the fundamentals of the Rolfing & Mindful Movement work I’ve shared with hundreds of clients over the last 12 years. Most people don’t know it’s their own habits that often create their physical challenges, so now, with things even more intense and stressful than they were earlier this year, it’s a good time to re-examine these practices while offering additional tips and insights to help you go deeper.

You're Working Too Hard

When I see new clients, 80-90% of them share one common struggle that’s evident to me within minutes of meeting them. They’re working too hard. To put it simply, they are unconsciously creating pain and physical breakdown and it shows. The great news is that simple, awareness-based exercises you can do during the small pockets of your busy day or after a hard day’s work as a reset can yield a tremendous shift forward in your experience of your body.
