May 25, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 317:
Find a comfortable spot on the grass and gently sit down, allowing yourself to settle into a relaxed seated position. Take a moment to observe the grass beneath you, recognizing that it is in a constant state of change, even as you remain seated. Begin to explore movement from your seated position, focusing on how the imagery of the changing grass affects your body and motion. As you move, maintain an awareness of the constant changes happening beneath you and how it influences your own body's transitions. Emphasize a sense of mindfulness throughout the movement exploration, allowing yourself to be fully present in each moment and fully immersed in the imagery of the changing grass.

May 24, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 316:
Step outside and find a secluded place where you can move freely without disturbances, a natural space with no personal memories attached. Take a moment to stand still. Breathe deeply, allowing your body and mind to relax. Begin by reaching down with one hand, foot, or whole body, and gently explore the ground beneath you. Imagine you are reading Braille, absorbing the texture and contours with heightened sensitivity.
Take time to fully experience the physical sensations as you connect with the ground. Once you have done enough exploration, sit or find a comfortable position. Start writing about a memory from your youth when you were in nature for 10 minutes. Set a timer and let the words flow freely, allowing the memory to guide your pen as you reflect on how you discovered and experienced things as a child. After writing, stand up and begin moving, allowing the childhood story to serve as a guide for your exploration. Embrace the qualities of your memory: curiosity, wonder, and a sense of discovery. Engage your senses fully, just as you did in your childhood experiences. Move through the space, paying attention to how your body responds to the environment.
If you are not much of a mover, you could also do this exercise very small or in a way that comforts you.

May 23, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 315:
Close your eyes and visualize yourself in a space where gravity is not limited to the conventional downward direction. Imagine gravity pulling and pushing your body from various angles, challenging your balance and movement patterns. Embrace the sensation of being guided by these unconventional gravitational forces. Begin in a neutral standing position, grounding yourself and feeling the presence of the different gravity fields around you. Slowly initiate movement, allowing your body to respond to the external influences of the gravity fields. Experiment with weight shifts leaps, and falls, exploring the multidirectional forces acting upon you.

May 22, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 314:
Observe someone's movements in your vicinity. Notice how they walk, for instance, the swaying of their hips or the way they place their feet on the ground. Mimic these movements but at a slow or decelerated pace. Strive to be as detailed as possible.

May 21, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 313:
When you slow down just before making contact with an object while reaching for it or picking it up, your hands may experience various sensations. Here are a few common sensations you might feel:

Tactile Sensation: As your hands approach the object, you may begin to perceive a slight change in temperature, texture, or surface characteristics. Your fingertips might detect the object's properties, such as its smoothness, roughness, hardness, or softness.

Anticipation: Slowing down before touching the object can create a sense of anticipation in your hands. You might experience an increased awareness of the imminent contact and the pressure required to grasp the object successfully.

Kinesthetic Feedback: Your hands possess proprioceptive receptors that provide feedback on the position, movement, and tension in your muscles and joints. By slowing down, you allow these receptors to gather more detailed information, enabling you to sense the object's weight, shape, and position relative to your hand.

By deliberately slowing down the moment just before grasping or reaching for an object, you can become aware of these different sensations. Utilize this awareness as inspiration to take a few moments to explore the object in various ways.

May 18, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 310:
Focus on your hands and feet simultaneously, observing their natural alignment and the relationship between them. Explore mirroring movements between your hands and feet. For example, if your hands move in circles, allow your feet to follow the same pattern.

Experiment with different qualities of movement, such as slow, flowing motions or sharp, percussive gestures, aiming to achieve harmony between your hands and feet.

Select a specific movement from your hand repertoire that you find particularly interesting or expressive. Begin by performing this movement with your hands, fully embodying its qualities and nuances. Gradually, translate this movement into your feet, finding ways to replicate the same dynamics and intentions. Explore how your feet can articulate and express the essence of the chosen hand movement. Merge the movements of your hands and feet, seeking to create seamless transitions and cohesive patterns. Play with variations, such as initiating movements with your hands and having your feet respond or vice versa. Experiment with different levels, directions, and spatial pathways, allowing your whole body to engage in this dynamic conversation between hands and feet.

May 17, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 309:
Find a quiet (outdoor) space. Begin by taking a walk, focusing your attention on the pressure you exert on the ground with each step. Reflect on the various ways your feet interact with the earth's surface. Consider the different points of pressure. Experiment with changing the points of pressure and exploring alternative ways your feet can connect with the ground.

Throughout the exercise, avoid looking down and instead engage your "mind's eye" to observe and analyse your movements. Aim to relax the rest of your body as much as possible, allowing your feet and the ground to become the primary focus.

Visualise the pressure created by your feet as a sound score, understanding that sound is essentially a manifestation of pressure. As you continue walking, pay attention to the rhythmic sound of your steps and how it corresponds to the changing points of pressure and connections with the earth. Take your time to experience and explore the interplay between your feet and the ground, observing the intricate relationship between movement, pressure, and sound.

May 16, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 308:
Find a comfortable space where you can stand without distractions. Convey each thought that arises in a single movement. Carry out this exercise for as long as you desire.

May 15, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 307:
When you wake up tomorrow morning, gradually transition into a slow, deliberate awakening, emphasising the connection between body and mind. Move slowly and attentively as if discovering each movement for the first time. Explore this transition from sleep to awake as slowly as possible.

May 14, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 306:
Select five extremely tiny movements, almost imperceptible to someone observing you. Repeat these movements in a sequence for at least half an hour. Then, reflect on how this affects the sensation in your body.

May 13, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 305:
Create a short instructional video for a family member. Choose any subject you like. Demonstrate the steps clearly and concisely, using visual cues and concise instructions. 

May 12, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 304:
Create a dance sequence based on your most recent message (WhatsApp, Signal, Phone Message, Email or Any Other Means of Communication). Interpret the message as a movement or gesture, which can be literal or abstract. Then, take a look at an older message and repeat the process. Build on each other's movements to form a complete dance sequence that follows the chronological order of the messages.

May 11, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 303:
Recall a moment today when you felt uncertain. Let this feeling guide your movements. Also, consider someone you know well who has experienced doubt and draw inspiration from their experience for your dance. Merge your own sensations and the other person's movements into a brief one-minute performance. Contemplate what the opposite movements and sensations would entail. Finally, create a one-minute improvised dance using the opposite movements and sensations.

May 10, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 302:
Take one page from your notebook where you have scribbled down something, whether it's a to-do list or a jumble of notes from a phone call. Although these notes may be overwhelming, try to view them as a cloud of thoughts. Write down all the physical activities that you can identify from the notes as physical activities.

May 9, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 301:
Find a comfortable spot on the floor and lie down. Close your eyes and imagine that your body has no anatomical structure. You have no idea what it looks like or how it moves. Imagine this for a couple of minutes while scanning your whole body with your minds-eye. With this blank slate in mind, start to move as if it's the first time you've ever moved before. Your bones are light and weightless, and you have no preconceived notions of what you "should" be able to do.

May 8, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 300:
Go outside and take a stroll without any expectations. Do not bring your mobile phone or any other distractions, and refrain from carrying a watch. Additionally, choose a different path than your usual one and let your curiosity guide you in selecting a direction.

May 7, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 299:
Select a book from your bookshelf, then select one page from that book and choose one sentence from that page. Next, pick another book from your shelf, select one page from it, and choose one sentence from that page. Repeat this process with a total of 25 books, writing down each chosen sentence below the other. Then, use these sentences to reconsider how you look at your room and your experience of it.

May 6, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 298:
Visualize your entire back as present as your front side. Invite someone to join you and initiate a conversation while facing away from each other. Begin to move your backs in a manner that represents or reinforces the situation.

May 5, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 297:
Take a moment today to observe the weather. Write a few sentences about your sensory experiences due to the weather. What kind of sound does the rain make? What scent do you detect when it rains or when the wind blows? How do you feel the warmth of the sun on your skin?

May 4, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 296:
During your daily teeth brushing routine, take a few moments to create a choreography using your feet, the surface you're standing on, and the sound of your toothbrush bristles.

First, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart on a flat surface such as your bathroom floor. Begin brushing your teeth, paying attention to the sound the bristles make as they touch your teeth. Next, try incorporating small foot movements such as stepping back and forth, shifting your weight from side to side, or adding a little bounce to your step. As you move, experiment with how the sound of the brushing changes based on the pressure you apply to the bristles.

Continue to explore the movements you can create with your feet and the surfaces around you while brushing your teeth. Maybe you can even try adding some arm movements or facial expressions.

May 3, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 295:
Different thoughts, different feelings, different body. Identify one common social situation that you have encountered today. For example, talking with a friend, waiting in a queue, dealing with a difficult colleague, etc. For the chosen situation, identify one aspect that requires flexibility and one that requires resistance. For example, in a conversation with a friend, you might need to be flexible in your communication style to adapt to their needs while also maintaining resistance in setting boundaries if the conversation becomes too personal. Take a couple of minutes to consider how you think about the resistance in the chosen situation. How does this feel in your body? Is there a particular place you feel it in your body? Do the same thing with what you find requires flexibility.

May 2, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 294:
Play a video on your laptop, facing the screen towards a wall. Focus on the light projected onto the wall, imagining it as the sound of your dance. Improvise a dance piece for as long as you desire, allowing the light to guide your movement

May 1, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 293:
Take a map that you use regularly in your daily life and use it as a starting point for 10 minutes of creative writing. Write without overthinking or censoring your ideas.

April 29, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 291:
Sound has the capability of mingling easily with other sounds. Movements have this capability to a lesser extent. We often perceive two distinct movements instead of a unified one. Choose two movements that have a sound quality or make a sound themselves. Switch from one movement to the other with its own rhythm, making the transition from one movement to the other the most important part.

April 28, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 290:
Something I often do when I move is to think about how the air or wind flows through my bone structure. I imagine my bones are like leaves and how the wind plays with them. Imagine this for yourself and discover for a few minutes how this affects your movements.

April 27, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 289:
Look through your eyelashes into the world. This blurred world is somewhere between being open and closed. Look like this for 30 minutes at the world. Then, write about your experience for 10 minutes.

April 26, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 288:
Throughout a single day, one's mood can fluctuate significantly. For some, these fluctuations may be minor, whilst for others, they can be more pronounced. These mood changes can be viewed as a reflection of our relationship with our surroundings, our thoughts, and our connection with our own bodies. It's akin to an energy flow that we often disregard as it doesn't fit within our busy schedules. Therefore, today, try to take note of your changing moods and make some subtle adjustments. Instead of working against them, harness them. For instance, if you're feeling a sense of sadness, take a moment to slow down and appreciate the details around you. Conversely, if you're experiencing a burst of energetic or almost aggressive energy, consider engaging in activities that require more physicality and bravery. Personally, I find it immensely rewarding to experiment with this concept. It allows one to appreciate the temporal nature of emotional landscapes.

April 25, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 287:
"Consortium". If you find yourself in a situation today where you're feeling a lot of resistance, try to play and collaborate with that resistance instead. How can you use this resistance to your advantage and turn the situation into a playful and enjoyable one? Start by researching the specific topic in the situation that's causing the resistance. Create a small, almost invisible movement to work with this resistance. It should be a relaxing, joyful movement that creates space and improves your breathing. Every time you feel that resistance, do this small movement. Pay attention to the rhythm of the movement and when to do it, and when not to.

April 24, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 286:
Take a stroll in your neighbourhood and take note of the different sounds you hear. See how they affect your inner landscape, or perhaps not. Even the slightest change in mood can alter your walking pace - whether you slow down, speed up, take shorter steps, use your toes more instead of the ball of your foot, or experiment even further.

April 23, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 285:
Make yourself comfortable by lying on the floor, bed, or couch. Tune in to the sensation of your lips. How much of your lips can you feel, and what kind of sensation are you experiencing? Now, shift your attention towards your nose, cheeks, and chin. How much can you sense, and what are the sensations like? Gradually extend your focus to your eyes, the surrounding area, and jaws. Keep broadening your focus until you are trying to sense your entire body. Once you have achieved this, start perceiving things outside your body, such as the surface you are lying on and the air around your body. After this, stand up, give your body a little shake, and continue with your day.

April 22, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 284:
"Adventitious responses" - try not to plan out your response in advance during conversations today. Instead, actively listen until your friend has finished speaking, then offer a reply that begins with something you wouldn't typically say, but that could add an interesting dimension to the conversation.

April 21, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 283:
Lay down in your bed before going to sleep. Take a moment to sense how the mattress feels underneath you, almost like another body. Start to move your body, paying attention to how each movement creates an imprint on the mattress.

April 20, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 282:
The word "assent" has been on my mind quite often lately as I work on my movement practice. I find that there are often numerous self-imposed restrictions in my head about how to move, or what kinds of movements are considered "correct". These same limitations can also be found in everyday activities, such as sitting behind a laptop. So, as you sit there, take a few minutes to explore different ways of positioning yourself behind the screen.

April 19, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 281:
Imagine that the ground beneath you is like a skin, similar to your own. The Earth is composed of various materials and is not entirely solid. Instead, it is porous and sometimes dense. Additionally, the Earth's temperature varies. Take a moment to sit, lie down, or stand on the ground and contemplate this concept. Then, start moving and consider how the surfaces could interact in various ways.

April 18, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 280:
Choose a part of your body that you are particularly sensitive to, such as the corners of your mouth or the skin on your wrists. Then, find something in your environment that brings you a feeling of blissful touch or contact, like the gentle way the wind brushes against the leaves during spring or the softness of a cat's paws as they walk on the ground. Once you have identified this sensation, imagine it being transferred to the body part you chose. Take a few moments to breathe and focus on this feeling, then visualize it spreading throughout your entire body.

April 17, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 279:
Move at a languid pace while performing a daily task ( one that you find boring) as if time inside operates at a slower pace than outside. Pause frequently. Resist speeding up. Practice waiting, resting and rejuvenating.

April 16, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 278:
Go outside and stand in an open area where you can feel the wind on your body. Close your eyes and allow yourself to feel the sensation of the wind against your skin. As the wind blows, imagine it as a force moving through your body, from the soles of your feet to the top of your head. Begin to move your spine in response to the movements of the wind. If the wind is blowing gently, move your spine slowly and smoothly, allowing your body to sway and flow with the wind. If the wind is blowing more forcefully, move your spine with more intensity, allowing your body to twist and turn in response.
Keep your eyes closed and focus on the sensations in your body as you move, paying attention to the way the wind is affecting your balance and your connection to the earth. Continue to move your spine in response to the wind for several minutes or until you feel a sense of release and relaxation.

April 15, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 277:
As you move, imagine that your bones are not just moving but drifting in the air. Imagine your bones as being weightless as they move through space. Pay attention to the sensations in your body.

April 14, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 276:
Take a heavy object in your surroundings that can be held in one hand. Visualize the object becoming a part of your body, then release it and begin moving while keeping in mind the sensation of holding the object. Continue with your daily activities while concentrating on the feeling of the object in your hand for as long as feasible.

April 13, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 275:
A constitutive mechanism that affects our daily lives is the circadian rhythm. It is the internal biological clock that regulates our sleep-wake cycle, hormone production, and other bodily functions. The circadian rhythm is influenced by external cues, such as daylight and temperature, as well as internal cues, such as our genetics and behavior.

Our circadian rhythm affects many aspects of our daily lives, including our energy levels, mood, and cognitive function. Disruptions to our circadian rhythm, such as from jet lag or shift work, can have negative effects on our health and well-being.

For this movement assignment, choose a moment in the day when you feel very low on energy. Lie on the ground and observe how this tiredness feels in your body. Notice any micro-movements that you discover. Take the time to imagine that you are in a landscape where different things are happening.

April 12, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 274:
Have you reacted defensively to something today? If you were to choose a body posture to express this defense, what would it look like? Stand in this position for one minute, and then change to a position that you would have preferred to respond with.

April 11, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 273:
Dormancy refers to the state of hibernation that some animals enter into during the winter. During this period, the animal's metabolism slows down, their body temperature drops, and their physical activity significantly decreases. This allows the animals to conserve energy and survive when food and resources are scarce. Plants also exhibit dormancy during the winter or dry seasons, where they reduce their metabolic activity and become temporarily inactive until environmental conditions become more favorable for growth and development. If you feel that the environment is not favorable for you today, try slowing down for a few moments as if you are in a dormant state.

April 10, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 272:
If you are feeling stressed today, take a moment to look at the ground outside. Spend one minute using your senses to observe and learn as much as you can about the earth. Then, create a one-minute of movement to transfer this newfound knowledge into your body.

April 9, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 271:
Research amorphous structures: Start by researching and learning about amorphous structures. Amorphous structures are shapes that have no definite form or boundaries. They are often seen in nature and can be created by arranging objects in a non-linear, organic way. Look for examples of amorphous structures in nature. Experiment with movement: Once you have a basic understanding of amorphous structures, begin to explore these forms in movement. Experiment with different ways of moving your body to create amorphous shapes. Consider using your whole body, as well as individual body parts, to create shapes that are fluid and constantly changing.

April 8, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 270:
Embark on a stroll through nature, and begin moving slowly and deliberately. Pay close attention to the intricate details of your surroundings, taking note of the various movements - both minuscule and grand - that unfold around you.

Next, envision your physical being as an ecosystem akin to the lush forests and verdant fields encompassing you. Contemplate the myriad of bacteria and organisms that coexist within your body, akin to the plants and animals that flourish within the natural world. Allow yourself to be consumed by this notion for at least ten minutes, completely immersing yourself in the experience. Be mindful of any modifications in your perception of your own body or the environment around you. If a companion accompanies you, engage them in a dialogue surrounding this idea.

April 7, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 269:
Do the same assignment as yesterday, but today outside.

April 6, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 268:
Choose a shape: either a round receptacle or a stick-like shape. Once you're blindfolded, move around your room and locate the shape you've selected. Focus your attention on this object and research it carefully, paying attention to its texture, weight, and any other notable features. Consider how this object could be incorporated into your body, and imagine how it might feel to move and interact with it as if it were an extension of yourself.

April 5, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 267:
Focus on the concept of deformation. Consider how objects can be transformed or altered through changes in shape, size, or texture. Using this concept as a starting point, begin to move your body in ways that simulate deformation. For example, you could twist your torso to simulate a warped shape, or contract and release your muscles to simulate changes in texture. As you move, pay attention to how the concept of deformation influences your movement choices. 

April 4, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 266:
Begin by identifying the most mundane movements that occur from someone in your surroundings, and then start experimenting with those movements.

April 3, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 265:
Try to bring yourself as slowly as you can to the ground. Try to feel every shift of weight in your body.

April 2, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 264:
Allow the sound of a buzzing fly in the night to inspire a spontaneous dance. If no fly is present, seek out another insect, whether inside or outside your home, and allow its movements to guide your dance. Let the creativity of nature guide your body.

April 1, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 263:
Try to explore the movements that you can make with your mouth and a white piece of paper while contemplating the word "colonization."

March 31, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 262:
In this movement assignment, you will explore the sense of touch by interacting with various surfaces and bodies. Touch different surfaces around you, such as the ground, walls, or furniture, and notice if you feel any resistance before making contact. If not, try to touch with resistance. Next, explore touch with different bodies, including your own, a pet's, or a friend's, and notice any resistance before touching. Try to touch with resistance and then without resistance.

March 30, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 261:
Create a movement exploration using a twofold organization of your body, such as right and left, top and bottom, or front and back.

March 29, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 260:
Begin a movement exploration using your feet and hairbrush as a starting point.

March 28, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 259:
Select a newspaper and find as many different postures as possible within the images. Then, using your own body, replicate each of the postures that you find. 

March 27, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 258:
If you had tiny roots, what would standing look like to you? Would there be a change in your posture as you imagine this for some time?

March 26, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 257:
Select one body part, such as your finger, and find a place in the room to connect it to. Use this connection as a starting point for exploration, while maintaining the connection between your body and this focal point.

March 25, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 256:
Begin by taking a few steps and noticing the habitual structure of your walking. Pay attention to your posture, stride length, and foot placement. Next, start to experiment with small changes in your walking structure. This could include altering the angle of your foot placement, or adjusting the height of your steps. As you continue to walk, imagine that you are sculpting the space around you with your movements. Each step you take is like adding a new form or shape to your sculptural creation. Experiment with different speeds, directions, and levels of movement. Consider how each movement contributes to the overall sculpture you are creating.

March 24, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 255:
Listen carefully to the noises of the environment and identify one object within your reach. Once you have selected your object, explore its sound potential by moving it around. Try different ways of using the object to produce unique sounds, paying attention to the rhythm and tempo of your movements.
As you manipulate the object, imagine that you are composing a piece of music using the sounds of the environment. Be creative and experiment with various techniques to achieve a diverse range of sounds.

March 23, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 254:
In this movement assignment, you will focus on becoming aware of the warm and dark places in your body, such as under your arms, elbows, knees, between your toes, and other areas. As you move, keep your attention on these places and consciously keep them soft. This will not only help you to connect with your body but also bring a sense of ease and relaxation to your movements. Take the time to notice any sensations that arise in these areas, and allow yourself to fully experience them. By bringing awareness to these often overlooked parts of your body, you may discover new levels of comfort and fluidity in your movements.

March 22, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 253:
Take the time to research how many different movements you can make with your hands and fingers.

March 21, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 252:
How would you translate the word "dissolve" into movement? Frind different ways.

March 20, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 251:
What does an explosive movement look like to you? Perform five explosive movements.

March 19, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 250:
Find an object that is roughly the size of your head. Your task is to explore different ways of carrying this object by surcharging yourself with as many ways as possible. Consider different parts of your body that can be used to carry the object, such as your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, head, or even your feet.

March 18, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 249:
Start by moving slowly and quietly. Try to make your movements as silent as possible. Gradually increase your speed, but make sure you don't lose the quality of your silent movements. Pay attention to your body and how it moves through space. Can you feel the subtle shifts in your weight and balance as you move faster? Take your time and be mindful of each movement.

March 17, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 248:
Experiment with different movements and transitions that create a sense of being almost out of balance. Once you have a few movements you like, start to string them together into a dance sequence. Play with the tempo and dynamics to create a sense of tension and release in the dance.

March 16, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 247:
Begin by laying on the ground with your arms and legs extended, and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and start to visualize the bones in your body as if they were made of wood drifting on the water. Each bone is separate from the others, moving independently as they float on the surface. Spend ten minutes in this visualization, allowing your muscles to relax as much as possible.
After ten minutes, slowly move your limbs, but maintain the water-wood quality in your movements. Imagine you are still floating on the water, with each bone moving smoothly and independently. As you progress, keep your muscles relaxed and your breath steady. Continue for another ten minutes.

March 15, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 246:

"Walking with weight on the heels and weight in front: What does it do for your presence?"

March 14, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 245:
Explore the discomfort of your environment by finding the most challenging spot to sit in your house. Once you have identified it, take a seat and begin to playfully engage with all the discomforts you encounter. Experiment with your posture and movements, shifting and adjusting to find new ways to adapt to the discomforts. Embrace the challenge of the situation and allow yourself to be curious about the sensations that arise.

March 13, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 244:
Imagine that your eyes have transformed into skin. Visualize your newly evolved skin-eyes, sensing the environment around you through touch and texture, rather than relying on sight. Move your head slowly from side to side, feeling the subtle changes in the air and the surface beneath you. Notice how the textures and sensations differ from what you would typically see. With each movement, allow yourself to fully immerse in this alternate mode of perception, and explore the world through your new skin-eyes.

March 12, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 243:
Choose one object from your house that you can hold comfortably. Feel the weight and texture of the object in your hand. Take a few deep breaths, and bring your attention to the center of your body, just below the navel. Begin to move with the object in your hand. You can move in any way that feels natural - walking, spinning, swaying, etc.
As you move, try to maintain your focus on the center of your body. Notice how the weight and texture of the object affects your movement. Rather than seeing the object as something separate from your body, try to integrate it into your movement. Feel how the object becomes an extension of your body. Spend a few minutes exploring movement with this object. Try moving in different directions, at different speeds, and with different levels of intensity. When you feel ready, set the object down and choose a different one to explore.

Find an audiobook, radio show, or podcast and listen to it for 8 minutes. While listening, keep a pen and paper handy and write down all the words that catch your attention or that you are gravitated towards. These could be words that stand out to you for any reason, whether they are repeated often, have a unique sound, or have a personal connection for you. Look through the list of words you wrote down and choose three you feel drawn to. For each of the three words, write a short memory associated with that word. Use these memories to create a short dance piece or video performance. Consider how you can incorporate movement and gesture to evoke the memories you have associated with each word. Think about the mood and tone of the memories, as well as any physical details that stand out to you.

March 8, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 240:
Begin by taking a few deep breaths and focusing your attention on your body and your emotions. Think about situations or experiences that make you feel irritated. Start to move in a way that reflects the feeling of irritation, using sharp, angular movements that convey tension and frustration. For example, you might start with a series of jerky arm movements as if you are swatting away an annoyance. Let your movements build in intensity, allowing your body to express the full range of your irritation. Incorporate stomping, pacing, or other movements that convey a sense of restlessness or agitation.

March 7, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 239:
Begin by gathering a variety of objects from around your room that have different textures and shapes. These could include a tennis ball, a rolling pin, a scarf, a brush, a wooden spoon, or any other object that you can comfortably roll, press or rub against your feet. Set up a comfortable and safe space where you can move and access the objects without tripping or slipping. Start by warming up your feet with some basic stretching exercises. Wiggle your toes, flex and point your feet, and rotate your ankles to get your feet ready for the massage. Choose one object and use it to massage your feet. Roll it under your arches, press it against your heels, or rub it along the soles of your feet. Experiment with different pressures and movements to see what feels best for you. As you massage your feet, notice how the texture and shape of the object affects the sensations in your feet. Pay attention to any areas that feel particularly tight or sore, and focus on those spots for a few extra moments. After a few minutes, switch to a different object and continue massaging your feet. You can use a different object for each foot, or alternate between objects on the same foot. As you move from object to object, try to incorporate some simple movements or gestures with your feet. For example, you could point your toes while rolling a ball under your arches, or lift your heels while rubbing a brush along the soles of your feet. Play with the different textures and shapes of the objects to create a short dance piece or improvisation. You could experiment with rolling or tossing the objects, balancing them on different parts of your feet, or using them to create rhythms or patterns.

March 6, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 238:
Stand in a neutral position with your feet hip-width apart, arms resting by your sides.Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, focusing on the sensation of your spine. Imagine that your spine has a sense of touch, like your fingertips, and can feel every movement you make. Begin to move your spine in a slow, gentle, and fluid manner, as if it were exploring its surroundings. Allow your spine to move freely and without tension, focusing on the sensations of each vertebrae. Experiment with different movements, such as bending forward, arching backward, twisting to the left and right, and rolling from side to side.

March 5, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 237:
Find a comfortable place where you can sit or stand without any distractions. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax your body. Begin to listen to the sounds in your environment without trying to identify them. Just listen to the quality, pitch, rhythm, and intensity of the sounds. Pay attention to how each sound affects your body. Notice if you feel any physical sensations or changes in your body in response to each sound. Do you feel it more in a specific area of your body, like your pelvis or head? Continue to listen for 10-15 minutes or until you feel satisfied with your exploration.

March 4, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 236:
Start by focusing on the sensations and abilities of your hands. What do you feel when you move them? What are some of the things that you can do with them, such as gestures, grips, or manipulations? Using these sensations and abilities as inspiration, start to experiment with movements of your feet that mimic or complement those of your hands. For example, if your hands are making flowing, circular movements, try to create similar movements with your feet.

March 3, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 235:
Take a moment to observe the sky and pay attention to the quality of its movement and the feelings it evokes within you. Then, you are instructed to transfer that quality and feeling into the movements of your feet while walking, dancing or running. The goal is to imbue your feet with the same sense of grace and fluidity you observed in the sky.

March 2, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 234:
Begin in a completely dark space. Remove your shoes so that you are in bare feet. Allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness. Experiment with different types of eye movements. You might try focusing on a single point and moving your eyes around it or shifting your gaze from one object to another. As you move, try to feel the ground beneath your feet. Allow your feet to connect with the surface and feel the textures and temperatures. Play with different qualities of movement. You might move quickly and fluidly or slowly and with more deliberate intention. Use your body to create different shapes and formations. You might crouch down low, stretch upwards, or twist your torso. Continue to move and explore the space for several minutes. When you are ready, start to slow down your movements and come to a stop. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to arrive fully in the present moment. Reflect on your experience. How did the darkness and bare feet affect your movement? How did the movement of your eyes influence your overall experience?

March 1, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 233:
Choose a location where you can feel the cold weather, such as a park, the forest, or a balcony. Stand in the space and take a few deep breaths, feeling the temperature of the air on your skin. Start moving your body slowly and intuitively, exploring how the cold weather and touch of the environment affects your movements. Pay attention to how your skin reacts to the cold, and incorporate these sensations into your movement. Can you use shivering or goosebumps as a way to create a movement quality? Finally, think about how the environment and your skin interact with each other, and use this awareness to inform your movements.

November 8, 365 Movement Prompts, Day 122:
Imagine with your mindset yourself from above. See the skull, ribs, and pelvis as concentric circles balancing around the axis.
