GRATITUDE: For spring sunshine and a beautiful day. Scatterbrained today but got a couple plants transplanted, pondered shelving and drawers for the kitchen. Was able to give away our bulky bed frame on the buy nothing group…less things, more space feels good to me. Jasper took it upon himself to clean up the living room and yesterday I forgot to mention he washed the remaining dishes in the kitchen sink.
FOCUS: ?
INSPIRATION: Listening to Peter Attia’s podcast with an expert on lower back pain…trying to glean some knowledge about this chronic pain that has bothered me for nearly 2-1/2 years now. The pain has definitely changed and more manageable, and I’m actually able to exercise again (which for a long while I was physically incapable of). Vitamins/collagen, getting a better handle on my iron deficiency, and the 7 minute workout all were major contributors to starting to heal. I can feel the gluteus medius & piriformis are still so tight but hopeful that consistent yoga and lower/core strength exercises will continue to help alleviate the daily discomfort. There was a point though where I could barely walk up or down the stairs, and bending over to wash my face in the evening or trim my toenails was excruciating. More reason to get up at 5:30am and start the day with yoga and stretching.
