When life gets busy, lesser priorities fell by the wayside. But recently, my life has not been busy, I missed still more things. What is happening here? Could it be the winter blues, Covid-19 stay-at-home, or some other hidden causes?
For example, waking up this morning, my back was screaming at me. I had a hard time straightening my back. The stitching pain on my lower right was alarming and the last thing I anticipated. Has my age finally caught up with me?
Instead of reaching for the aspirin, I rolled out my yoga mat, fired up “yoga for lower back pain”, and down on the floor I went. Time for some TLC and natural healing as I went through the 30 minute one-on-one session.
Sure, a pain reliever would probably be faster. But I prefer my yoga practice which gave me an opportunity to go inward, explore the aching spot, and pay attention to some neglected muscles.
You see, while I had been running, I have been remiss on my yoga practice. And this is my body’s way to nudge me back.
Has your body been talking to you?

Ha! I have an appointment with an orthopedist on Monday!
My ankle has been bothering me since November. I thought it was tendonitis and would eventually go away. Well, I’m still waiting.
I’ve had tendonitis before and it does go away eventually, I just think it’s taking a little too long this time.
Hopefully this is much ado about nothing. But alas, my body has been talking.

Well Andy, hope your ankle is “nothing” but good on you for listening to your body. Our body is amazing as along as we take care of it. Thanks for sharing.
