Who Else Wants Independence from Injury and Pain?

It's July and summer is in full swing! Are you able to get out and enjoy the sun, sand and surf (or your outdoor activity of choice)? If your answer is no, keep reading! This post contains helpful information on how to reclaim your independence from injury! RICE versus MEAT?? No matter your injury/pain location there are fundamental are ways to heal faster. It used to be RICE ~ Rest  Ice Compression Elevation It still can be for the first 24-72 hours after injury. Longer than that and you risk slowing your healing and prolonging your recovery.

Why?  Because, while I make resolutions, I consistently do not resolve to act on them! I am tired of disappointing myself, berating myself and generally feeling like a failure . . . therefore resolve to not make any more New Year's resolutions!  Instead of making resolutions, I am making a plan of action! My plans yesterday were to:  Superficially clean and organize my home after the holidays (so I can think).   Check ✅ Take a look at my Cairn business plans for January. Check ✅ Watch some football ~ it is Sunday after all ;) Check ✅ My plans for the next few weeks include:  Walking my dog 3-5 times a week. Doing Yoga 3 times a week. Returning to my regular cleaning routine. Being consistent with my business plans. Buying, preparing and eating foods that nourish me! A Plan of Action for me is smaller than a resolution.
