7824 steps. That was how much I moved today.
Sure, it doesn't tell you much about my day, but it does tell you that I moved my body.
It's a big improvement on the last few days. See, my neck has been hurting and to greater and lesser degrees since Saturday and I had my Covid booster on Saturday afternoon and it sat me on my arse, big time, for about a day.
That's not dissimilar to the last two times. Though this time I resorted to pain meds. One night for my neck when it kept waking me up during the night, and the next night before I went to bed since I felt all the flu-like aching of vaguely wanting to die.
Hmmm, maybe it wasn't quite that bad. Though I'm very good at meditating and gently holding myself through pain, so for me to give into taking pain meds says something.
I digress. Did I tell you I'm feeling a lot better?
I almost booked an osteopath appointment to 'fix' my neck. Brad talked me out of it. He usually finds that most practitioners are not that great at what they do and that he can usually fix something himself or time sorts it out for him.
After he did a great job of massaging my shoulders and actively working out some of the tension in there I can see what he means. I might still go to that (I think potentially brilliant) osteo I found, one of these days, but with Brad's knowledge of the body he may have just saved me $120.
And I must be feeling better because we walked in the bush for 50 minutes. And I managed to wriggle and move and dance a little today.
I'm sure the two deep rounds of EFT tapping I did specifically targetted at neck pain and what I'm finding to be a "pain in the neck" also helped a lot 馃槈
Before I go here are some photos of a very cute lizard.
Brad took them, as usual :P Just like the ones of me above, in the bush, obviously... because I'm not (yet) clever enough to be in two places at once 馃槈
