“I Am Free to Eat Pizza On Any Day!”

“I am free to eat pizza on any day!”

Sometimes I come across a firmly held belief that stops me in my tracks.  

These can be thoughts which are firmly entrenched.  They have taken root and become firmly bedded in.  Sometimes I have no idea where the idea comes from, sometimes I can remember precisely who and where and what I was doing when the belief first started.

The beliefs are often unconscious and unknown – until they rear their heads, often with a tone of shock or surprise!

I hope you enjoy this little story.

On Thursday I was talking to a client on the phone, and as I looked out of my front window I noticed a pizza delivery car pull up outside.  Someone got out with two bags and knocked on a house nearby.   I realised that they had ordered take-away pizza!

This is unheard of in my house.  Take-away pizza!  I love Pizza, and going out to a pizzeria, but I can’t remember the last time we had ordered a Take-away anything….

Somehow during lock-down it felt more surprising to me that someone would order pizza for a home delivery,

and on a Thursday,

And it was lunchtime!

More shock in my system at this last part of the realisation.

Lucy – do you need some acknowledgement of how you don’t have a shared reality with this experience?  Are you in shock to realise that such different choices are being shown to you, outside your own front door?  Yes indeed. 

We only eat pizza in the evening, and any pizza consumed at lunchtime would be cold leftovers from the night before.

This is something I can laugh at now, in terms of the limitations of my mind and imagination!  Just because I haven’t, and don’t personally know of people ordering Pizza on a Thursday lunchtime, of course, we are free to eat pizza on any day!  and at any time of the day.

There are many beliefs we carry about ourselves and the way the world Should Work.  Perhaps you know some of these ideas – perhaps some are less visible.  

Some of these habitual ideas or beliefs are known knowns, and some of them are unknown unknowns.  And yet these beliefs and ideas can hold us in a particular mindset, mental pattern or posture.  Our mind shapes our experience and our personality.  

Some of us have ideas about how much we need to keep working, keep busy, only be helpful to other people and look after ourselves last.  To do otherwise, can be unthinkable.

So I am laughingly giving myself the invitation to allow myself to eat pizza any day of the week and at any time of the day.  Even for breakfast.  Perhaps with ice cream, and on Tuesdays too.  

Having a flexible mind, helps us have a flexible body, and flexible responses to life’s situations.

If you’d like to know how to embody more freedom of mind and body, I’m excited to invite you to my first ever online Workshop.

This Monday 4th May from 11 am – 12 noon on Zoom (you don’t need to have Zoom on your computer) you will need a device with a microphone and camera.

You are all invited for 50% discount!

If you are interested, please send me an email saying YES and I will send further details.

I’m pleased that technology can help bring us together to understand, learn, move and be more flexible and free.  So wherever you are in the world, come and experience some guided explorations of known and unknown parts of yourself.

I have been working exclusively online for the last 5 weeks and even have some calls on an old fashioned land-line and clients are learning lots.

I am confident that you too can learn via imitation, exploration and with guidance.

I look forward to hearing a YES from you if you are
curious to know more about this opportunity.

What My Clients Say

“No pain in the night, no pain when I got up, no pain when I went for a run and no pain now! It’s much more than I expected, thank you! "

Steve

"It is as though I have been gifted an entirely new lens through which to view human behaviour, and it is a lens of compassion and empathy like no other. Due to this, I have been able to come to terms with the way my family operates, which has proven to be a great relief. I would definitely recommend working with Lucy. She held such a safe space for me and my vulnerability with great compassion and authenticity."

Elena

"Using these techniques has helped me reduce the day-to-day tension I’ve developed over a lifetime of anxious habits and hypersensitivity. It’s been amazing to re-learn how my body works, and how to swap out the survival mechanisms that got me so far, for habits more in keeping with how my body is happier to work."

Alex Booer

“I’ve been doing the Alexander Technique with Lucy over the past few months and my posture has improved enormously. I have a greater awareness of how my body functions and can recognise the signs of when I’m falling into bad habits."

Paul Tolton, Actor

"I feel present. Nice to feel here, not racing ahead. I have a more measured, calm approach. I’m less reactive and am learning to look after myself and choose my responses.”

Rosie

"I had a traumatic accident a few years ago. After you ‘wriggled’ my head it felt weird – and really good. I could walk evenly for the first time in years!! I’m making friends with my body.”

Zoe, Singer

"I have been happily surprised and have learned a lot about how my muscles and spine behave when I let them. I rapidly realised that AT is not in the least pseudoscience, rather it teaches one to be aware of how the body is holding itself."

Julian Davis, Retired Professor of Medicine & Pianist

"I've just had two enjoyable and useful sessions with Lucy on Zoom. I had been doubtful about how it would work but I was pleased with how it went. Of course, nothing is as good as face-to-face but we are where we are and this was great and has helped me to progress as I had hoped. Thank you. Looking forward to the next ones!"

Bev

"Lucy's sessions are amazing. Her unique blend of skills helped me have good posture without effort. Before this, I had seen many physiotherapists and osteopaths, but the pain kept coming back within a few weeks. Even after my first session with Lucy, the difference was so clear that my friends commented on it. After several months, the effects are being maintained with her support."
