Choice

"We can throw away the habit of a lifetime in a few minutes
if we use our brains."
(Frederick Matthias Alexander)

The F. M. Alexander Technique provides us with a tool to consciously become aware of bad habits and to make new choices.

Humans have the capacity to consciously choose how to react to a certain stimulus or situation at any given moment.

At the same time we are also creatures of habit - so much so that we don't notice when we are becoming slaves of habits, which affect our whole organism adversely.

There are habits of thinking the same unhelpful thoughts over and over again as well as habits of undue muscular tension in movement and stillness.
