"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Hi all,

My mother has a herniated disc in her lower spine, and always throws her back out when doing housework. The physical therapists tell her to do ab work (crunches, sit ups, etc) to help strengthen her core. I guess that makes sense, but she still has problems. So I cant help to think that she should find a way to directly work the lower back muscles too, and the increased back strength would make her work easier on her.

Do any of the trainers on here have any knowledge of this, or can point me to a place where the info is credible?

Thanks.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Sound advice from her caregivers, ie ab crunches, sit ups, etc. I decided to respond to this as I have a friend in my office who had a slightly herniated disc at L5-S1. It was giving him problems so he went to a chiro. The chiro bent him into some contorted position while "adjusting" his low back and shattered the disc at L5-S1. He got a surgical consult and surgery is imminent. He knows it was the chiro as he had an MRI right before he went and then again after. Point being, she should be careful about who she lets treat her and how.
