Well, two weeks into this project and I understand why author Paul Begadon called me an “absolute mad man.”

I can maintain momentum for writing every single day, but it’s hard to have something ready for publishing. Every. Single. Day.

Many ideas need slept on, incubated for a while, everything has its own gestation period. A few essays I’ve been “writing in my head” grew arms and legs all over the place when written down. They might even be Siamese twins I need to separate at birth.

But I’m doing this to get over my delays, perfectionism and finish-this-later-ism. It’s now much easier to click publish physically — less dithering and double checking etc – which means more mistakes no doubt but publishing nothing is also a mistake.

Cheers, Kevin

Don’t Judge a Posture By Its Feeling
Think of the last time you tried to “fix” your posture. What did you do? Here is my guess. You were engrossed in something external e.g. phone, computer, lifting weights, checking out hot girls at the beach etc and you suddenly noticed you were slouching or maybe you felt some discomfort or pain somewhere. It doesn’t matter about the details, what matter…

The Magic Words That Move Your Body
I’m obsessed with the relationship between speech and action. It’s a lot more mysterious and powerful than we normally think. People are often surprised when they start lessons with me. I teach a technique for self-regulating posture, so they come with a set of expectations e.g. it must be some sort of physical exercises, or bodywork/somatic therapy, or…

How to Activate Your "Posture Springs"
Think of the way you are sitting right now. Or standing… or lying down. Could you keep this exact position for 5 minutes? Without fidgeting around, or feeling tense? I've been sitting upright for 2 hours, focussed on writing and haven't fidgeted once…

So You Want to "Fix" Your Posture?
So you want to fix your posture? Well, you have already made your first mistake! Posture cannot be fixed. Your posture - whether good or bad - is not a fixed position. Posture is made of movements. Your posture is the end result of a series of movements you are doing with different parts of your body. These are habitual and mostly subconscious…

Reluctant Elitism
In my essay Dysfunctional Weirdos Vs Functional Weirdos I came to the conclusion that I write for the functional weirdos. Relax it’s not an attack on anyone – I’m one too, and probably less functional than you. Writer Thomas J Bevan made a comment which has been on my mind for days…

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a messiah.
Yesterday it was elitism, today it’s a messiah complex. Well, that escalated quickly. In reluctant elitism I said I’m done with the whole “reach the masses, save the world thing.” But where did that idea come from in the first place? And why do so many artists/thinkers/healers/entrepreneurs feel like they need to “save the world…
