Many of my colleagues loath the word “Posture” because they witness so many moronic “Postural” methods bandied about.

A moronic Postural method is one that makes no sense.

Let me give you an example:

Some innocent souls’ lives are tortured because they were told that “sit up straight” is a good thing – and they still keep trying to do that.

I explore this at my workshop by first asking:

“Who tries to sit up straight occasionally?”

Usually, most hands go up. Then I ask:

When you think about a problem, too much thinking slowly becomes your problem.

This is no small thing.

It is illustrated every time a person tries NOT to imagine a purple cow. Try it now – don’t see a purple cow. To make that decision, you first have to see a purple cow, then you decide not to see - but it is already too late. You’ve already imagined the purple cow.

This happens with pain too.

Imagine that squatting down causes your knee to hurt…

In the following sentence, am I describing Teaching or Marketing?

Can you guess my answer?

In a word – NEITHER.

I’ve invented a new word to answer the quiz…

It was 5.35am in 2017 while I was preparing for a London workshop that I thought up the term.

If you were there, this is what you would hear…

MARK-eting + t-EACHING = Markeaching

Markeaching.
