"I’ll try doing the same thing and maybe this time I’ll get a different result".

FM Alexander said, “if you don’t succeed at first try again.

If you fail the second time, give up. “

What he actually said was, “if you fail the second time, give up using that method and try doing it a different way. “

So often we keep using the same method in what we do and expect, or at least hope, for a different result. Often just trying harder and harder. 

A work colleague often got headaches when she worked at her desk. She would deal with this by taking paracetamol. She didn’t consider that maybe it was how she was approaching working at the desk. 

Taking a tablet is easy but stopping and considering a different approach is so much better … and healthier.
