Ambitions

If you are familiar with Alexander work, you have probably heard about end gaining.

The problem is that when you try to reach the goal fast,
you will most likely use the tools that you 
already have in your possession.
And that my friend is your habitual manner of use.

Depending on how much experience you have had,
you may know that change doesn't show its face at your will,
and my experience is that it will most likely happen
when you are absolutely uninterested,
but reflective and curious. 

Even though end gaining is a bad word in Alexander work,
we still need to carry some ambition or motivation. 
FM Alexander wanted to end his voice problems,
I wanted my wrist to be pain free so I could keep playing music. 

One thing that is hard to comprehend is that your goal can be very clear.
- you want your back to stop hurting.
- you want your headaches to disappear. 
But the method to reach your goals is in-direct, and that might be unclear.

Tuning in to the ideas of Alexander work
can be beneficial way beyond your back problems.

good luck.
