Your class project is to use the Tai Chi I share with you as a foundation for making a happier, healthier life. We'll keep projects simple and then you can customize the foundational principles for any situation in life.

For Example:

You catch yourself creating a negative story in your head and your emotions are out of control. Pull yourself back into mindfulness with easy deep breathing while using your inner voice speak a positive message to yourself.
You find yourself having to do a labor-intensive household chore and you're aggravated, frustrated and getting so stressed out your body is hurting. Draw on your Tai Chi training by synchronizing your breathing with your movement as you work. Use proper balance and alignment so as not to hurt yourself. Allow yourself to have your body relax and reenergize while you work (Rest in motion).
You are preparing for a big meeting or presentation at work, and you are nervous about it. Empower yourself with the Tai Chi you have learned. Bring your attention to your breathing, make it slow and deep bringing space and clarity to your mind. See yourself giving an excellent presentation and being inspired and excited to do your work.

These are just a few simple examples of how you can incorporate a regular Tai Chi practice into your daily life. Please feel free to share your experiences when Tai Chi has helped you by sharing the project, and you are also welcomed to ask questions or start a conversation in the Discussions tab.
