Exertion/Recuperation

[foolmonkey]

I am again in Salt Lake City, assisting at the Integrated Movement Studies certification program. For background, this is a certification program in Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis, and I completed the program two summers ago. This is my second full week back at the program assisting the group after mine. They are three weeks from the end,

Thanks for posting this. I haven't done much thought on Exertion and Recuperation before, but I can already see how it would be a very useful perspective.

Thank you for giving me words to describe this!

Being with friends at shows, festivals, campouts and whatnots is a physical, mental, and emotional exertion for me. I know just how far I can push myself physically now (whee!) before I need serious recuperation. Oh but there is always recuperation from that in the form of deep deep sleep. The partying is a recuperation from work's constant motionless problem solving. The work provides my brain's needed balance of left and right hemisphere activity and a feeling of marked accomplishment. Put all that in a never ending circle and it's a decent model of my life.

I do miss you! You're in my thoughts and stories.

You pose an interesting question. I don't think I'm actually very good at managing exertion and recuperation. I tend to force myself into rigid schedules of what I think should be productive or relaxing. I tend to continue exerting myself on a single-minded goal when some switching off of goals would be beneficial in the longer term. Hmm, I must ponder more.
