RE: Why Do We Do This to Ourselves?

in #writing7 years ago

Perhaps you can set a reminder on your phone to do those exersizes each day? I totally get what you mean. I have done the same but with my mental health.

After taking meds for a while and starting to feel better I tend to stop taking them, missing one here and there, and eventually failing to renew the prescription. And it's okay for a little while but then it crashes down and the cycle repeats. 😒

What caused your back pain? That's always a huge fear for me, a friend in high school had issues with the disk between two vertabrae and the pain she was in was horrendous.

I'm glad you were able to get help for it! Your little ones would be grateful if their papa was to keep up the regemine, I'm sure!

It's slightly more difficult than to just spend ten minutes - I need some clean, flat floor space plus some privacy. Well, the latter is not really a requirement, but still ... I don't like people watching me while I lay down at the floor and do silly things. The options are at home, at the deck of the boat and at work. The latter is pretty much out, we have full transparency at work, glass walls everywhere. While I guess it's possible to do the exercises on a dirty floor, I don't really feel like it, so at home I need to vacuum before I can get down on the floor. I bought a robot vacuumer to make this easier, but to be able to run it I first need to tidy up the floor ... which is difficult as the youngest is distributing toys all over the floor faster than what I can clean up.

It seems like the best thing is to clean and vacuum the floor and get the exercises done in the morning, before the kids get up, but it's of course a bit challenging to get early enough up from bed, and not to waste too much of my time checking steemit, mail, etc.
