Actress Stephanie Bendixsen HD Photos and Wallpapers February 2025

Thinking about moving. So hard to leave – but the isolation has been tough. I love the mountains. The beauty, the affordability, the space, the air, the winter log fires, the beautiful European autumn leaves at the turn of the season. All things to be missed. But as an introvert who works from home – I think it’s also been a little damaging to be so cut-off from the world, because I’m so comfortable living my life online. I can plug myself into the matrix and be content to never see the sun. If it wasn’t for dance – I think I would have fused to my chair and let my mind disconnect entirely. If you’re anything like me you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about – and how intoxicating that can be. It will mean some lifestyle changes… I think also the older we get, the more terrified we become of discomfort. We fall more heavily into routines and patterns. Eat the same things, choose the same activities, keep the same habits. Even moreso if you’re neurodivergent in any way. And when we’re unhappy – we take pleasure in the small comforts afforded in the familiar. But even though moving is such a lothesome task (modern life comes with so much stuff) …maybe we’re not meant to be in one place all the time?

On my first attempt at exotic flow class (exactly a year ago) – I gave up half way through the term. I found the choreography complex and difficult to manoeuvre my body around, I felt clumsy and defeated and told myself I wasn’t good enough. But… I adored the movement style so much, I decided to just throw myself back into it and try again. It wasn’t any easier. 😂 BUT… by the end of that term (and with a lot of practice), I felt the TINIEST bit more confident. And then with each term that followed – patterns and shapes started to make their way into my brain, and my body got stronger… and with each new routine I started to see noticeable improvement. I think so often we abandon creative pursuits early in the learning of them, because when we see ourselves as ‘not great’ at something – we become convinced that we don’t have the natural talent, or the ‘right’ body, or we’ve started too late in life. But anyone who is good at anything – simply took the time required to get better. I’m far from where I want to be, but I’m so enjoying the process of seeing myself improve, while losing myself in the simple joy and challenge of movement.
