PARALLELA WORLD OF YOUR OWN
PARALLEL ORIGINALS / Practice project

A movement journal without comparisons

Keep a record of the experience before, during, and after an activity.

Describe what happened

Start with the activity, place, and approximate duration, then add one concrete detail. Do not invent calorie counts, rankings, or measurements to make the record look impressive. A useful note lets your future self understand what actually happened.

Use your own words

Choose one word for the experience before, during, and after: anticipation, distraction, ease, or curiosity, for example. These are personal observations, not a diagnosis or a measure of health.

Choose one small adjustment

Use the note to choose one adjustment: another familiar place, having your equipment ready, or inviting someone who wants to join. One journal page does not need to become an elaborate long-term program.

Make it a small practice

  1. Record the activity, place, and actual duration.
  2. Write an experience word for each of the three stages.
  3. Choose one adjustment for the next time.
