Thinking about Lotte's philosophy:
be honest
be selfish
be yourself
Wondering about how life would be if we all lived by this.
At least you knew where you stood with Lotte, from what I know of her,
although it wasn't always the most comfortable of places!
A nice counter-philospohy to the ones many of us are raised with:
be selfless, be pleasing, be good.
And a darn sight more interesting!
A little exercise for you to do while you ponder:
The JCB!
(see blog of 24 November!)
1. Kneel in front of barre (or back of a heavy chair), knees apart, hands on the barre, arms straight, bottom on your heels.
2. Stick your bottom out by rotating your pelvis
3. Now scoop as if your pelvis was the scoop of a JCB digger by tucking your pelvis and bottom in and then lifting off your heels, pushing your bottom up in a fluid motion. Feel the work in your thighs especially.
4. Now tip your pelvis as if it was a scoop dumping a load of gravel, then lower yourself, sticking your bottom out as if there was a wire attached to it from your heels, drawing you back down to the original position.
5. Repeat this scooping in a fluid, even and controlled way eight times, making sure your arms stay straight; bottom out - scoop, tuck and lift up - tip your pelvis, push your bottom out and dump your gravel - then back down to your heels
6. Happy pondering!
