I took yesterday off and am coming into work late today.
I ran all sorts of errands that I neglected when I worked too much and feel much better about being a little more "caught up" in my non-work life.
I am also focusing on getting my body functioning properly again. Living and sleeping with my laptop 24/7 for three months has done a number of my body. My shoulders were continously hunched and that affected my right hip to where I was limping. I got two massages in two consecutive weeks and it relieved the pain temporarily - but it came back.
So I decided I need to go to yoga more to try and get in deep enough to release the tension. I went last night and this morning. The morning class was intense - and my right hip is better...but I have to keep letting go mentally and physically in order to get my hip to release...
Meanwhile I now sit in my chair "as if" my shoulders are strapped to the upper part of the chair.
This is a new experience for me. I am use to working on the physical to enhance the peformance of and/or release the mental.
I had a very weird physical reactions in yoga. Yesterday, a foot arch releasing pose cramped my right hip up. And today a simple warm up shoulder pose crampled my right hip so severely that I had to come out of the pose...
This is the first time that the mental stressors are significantly reduced but my body hasn't figured that out yet...
My goal is to have a 42 year old when I am 104 - not a 104 year old body at 42.
One of the drawbacks of my physical state is that I am going to wait a week to plant my veggie and flowers. I need to get my "digging" hip working first. Besides I could barely lift a bag of top soil yesterday. There is no way I can haul around 40 lb bags right now.
A couple of months ago I posted that a seminar overlapped with a scuba trip to Roatan. At the time I posted seminar wins. What was I thinking???? I am looking into the scuba trip today!
Life is miserable for my right hip - but very good in my head right now!
