Best wishes for your recovery in 2018

Thanks for your good wishes Mahlia, bringing together everyone's good vibes is a positive energy !!

 Mahila and Sue.   Thankyou for your messages of encouragement. 2018 has arrived. I have reread David Roland’s book ‘How I Rescued My Brain’. Second time around the book has touched me more than ever. I have reset my rehab program. My leg strengthening exercises three times daily. My mobility has slipped backwards and I am not happy with that as my plan is to return to a daily short walk  with confidence.  I think the mobility is ruling my life and I do not like that one bit.  I enjoy daily meditation as that soothes chronic back pain. Actually I have started a diary so I can see what makes a comfortable day. My physio supports me with changes so watch this space  for news.     warm wishes to all as we set out on another year of recovery

Hi Jenny,

Yep - you go for that short walk with confidence in 2018!!

Diary's are amazing friends, and I hope that your hard work pays off.

I hope your continued meditation practices ease your back pain.

Thanks for sharing and yes David Roland's book is a very good read isn't it :-) I was fortunate to meet him in 2016 when he ran a writing work shop in Dubbo which is a couple of hours drive from Bathurst here in NSW. I enjoyed the day thoroughly!!

Have a good day!!

Sue

Great news. This morning I did go for the short walk,one block way to IGA . I broke through the fear barrier. The anxiety was all about my back or leg pain. Both those issues felt fairly comfortable this a,m. So I decided to go for it.   Proud of myself.   Thankyou for your encouragement Sue. I see myself s on the right track again. Jenny

Well done Jenny. You go girl. Great start to the year, hope you'll finish strong too. I had been postponing getting myself an activity tracker, but am glad I purchased a basic one (and cheap too)this year. I am able to motivate myself to do more in terms of activity compared to the previous day, especially walking which the tracker makes possible. I too am planning to work on improving endurance this year as I have had to sit down to catch my breath when  walking even just for 5 minutes or so in the past which is a pain. Let's stay motivated and I'm sure we'll keep our new year's fitness resolutions and kick some goals in the process. Hugs to all.

Oh superb work Jenny!!  I have thought on your IGA store - Independent Goal Achieved!!

A huge cyber hug to you, I have a big smile on my face as I read both yours and Mahlia's posts.

I know a typed message does not contain the animation in my message that I am writing this with but I do believe in the power of positive encouragement.

Go Mahlia!! Yes encouragement all the way for your fitness goals. Hugs to you and enjoy setting up your new tracker.

Sue

Congratulations ladies - wishing you a wonderful fearless 2018.
