Learn to juggle.

“After several sessions of chasing my juggling balls around the perimeter of my apartment bedroom and beating myself up for not being an instant juggling pro, things finally improved. Having my professor observe my progress via gallery view and unstable internet remains daunting, don't get me wrong. But when I finally allowed myself to take a cleansing breath one day and not micromanage the situation, I completed my first two juggling rotations with three balls. No issues, no stress - I intuitively knew what to do. My jaw dropped. How could I, the least coordinated human I know, suddenly learn how to juggle three items? And have fun doing it?”

“Being honest here, I started writing this months ago with plans to post once I could impress you with my new skills! Well, I have succumbed and will share with you the reality of the situation. I can “sort of” juggle, but this lasts for all of about 10 tosses. I know in theory what I should do. Getting my body to do what my mind knows it should do is a bit more of a challenge. I have a good start, and then I manage to start tossing balls out to the side rather than up. I have been practicing in front of a futon and wall so that I am not chasing balls across the room, and I have become quite adept at using pillows to prevent the balls from falling between the futon.”
