It becomes obvious after being wrapped up for a while that the purpose behind a lot of movement is avoidance. I want to move to change my focus, to avoid certain thoughts, to avoid confronting certain issues. I want to move to move and therefore do something other than what I should be doing. It’s a tool we use to avoid mental, emotional and physical discomfort. Now that I’m forced to be still, I’m forced to deal with all this. This opens a set of tools I’ve never used before and I witness the resourcefulness of the mind.
