The Star

Several times most weeks I make this mind map that I call “The Star”.

It’s something I developed in a movement-based practice in Berlin, to help quiet my mind when I get overwhelmed by the great swirling mass of ideas, projects, parts of larger goals, and core values and intentions that I want in my work. 

I picture myself grounded and hula hooping in the center of this star and things seem somehow contained and more manageable and I can feel more in control. It’s like those daily morning pages that people write, but I’m too tightly wound for that sort of thing. This is intuitive, but fast. 

The hula hoops are an extension of the star exercise. They invite movement and are a way of physically enacting the attempt at centeredness and groundedness.
