"... That's the trouble with us all; somebody tells us to do something and we act at once! We are all trained that way. The father tells his son to do something, and the boy jumps! It happens like lightning, that reaction to a command or impulse. What we have to learn to do is to inhibit this first immediate reaction. As soon as we are able to do that, you are automatically at liberty to do something else, that is, some other course of action."
(FM Alexander, in: Goddard Binkley, The Expanding Self, London 1993)

"To most people the Alexander Technique is a method of improving posture or relieving backache. However, the emotional and psychological benefits have convinced many to continue lessons long after their aches and pains have disappeared."

Stille
"Das Gegenstück zum äußeren Lärm ist der innere Lärm des Denkens. Das Gegenstück zur äußeren Stille ist innere Stille jenseits der Gedanken.
Wann immer um dich herum Stille herrscht, solltest du darauf lauschen. Ihr Aufmerksamkeit schenken. Auf die äußere Stille zu lauschen, eröffnet dir die Dimension der Stille in dir selbst, denn nur durch die innere Stille kannst du der äußeren Stille gewahr werden.
Erkenne, dass du in dem Augenblick, in dem du die Stille um dich herum wahrnimmst, nicht denkst. Du bist dir der Stille bewusst, aber du denkst nicht."
(Eckhart Tolle, Stille spricht)

Innehalten
"Mir scheint nämlich selbst ein freier Bürger nicht wirklich frei zu sein, der nicht irgendwann auch einmal einfach innehält."

Even better to do a little more
Article
"A scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, (Paul) Williams has put together the world's largest study on runners, and the evidence found over 20 years of research points to an important conclusion: When it comes to exercise, more is almost always better."
(public vs. personal health) "But Williams' findings haven't exactly caught on with the mainstream public health gurus. It's not that they disagree with Williams' findings. But doctors and public health officials worry that with half the country not meeting the current guidelines, even talking about running 50 miles a week will intimidate folks who aren't doing anything."
