Down Time is a Jezebel series in which we ask our favorite artists and authors what art, books, and activities they’re turning to in this moment of isolation and uncertainty. Author Laura van den Berg spoke to Jezebel about getting her mind to focus with shadowboxing.Boxing has been a huge part of my life for maybe the last two years. It’s not just about the training, it’s also community.
Shadowboxing helps me focus. It takes a lot of concentration to do it right and it also takes a lot of imagination because the idea is to move as though you’re sparring with another fighter. You’re not just kind of stumbling around and throwing punches at random, you’re inventing a sparring partner for yourself. I know that I’m not really in the zone if my mind is still wandering around, but if I can get to that very focused place everything else kind of melts away.
