Australia Day

Daily, I count my blessings that I live in this country and that this country allows me the freedom to choose the way I live, without fear of persecution or prosecution of my lifestyle, beliefs and values.

That freedom, I believe, also carries with a responsibility to support my country through staying healthy, paying taxes and not being a drain on the health or welfare system.

On the subject of staying healthy, I spoke last week about a  wonder juice for my aching shoulders – well, it is still working and helping me mobilise, exercise and sleep.  Cumerone 1200 truly is a ‘life saver’. Ultra sounds and X rays reveal severe calcification and degeneration in my shoulder joint which  is the cause for pain and restricted movement.  I’ve always pushed through that pain…. and, I might add, caused more pain/inflammation.

A little knowledge and help from a physio and pain rehab specialist will help me restore strength to this ever-weakening upper body of mine.  The expression ‘ignorance is bliss’ certainly does NOT apply in this instance.   My lack of understanding of what was going on in my body meant that I have exercised inappropriately; beyond reasonable limits and produced counter-productive pain. Inflamed muscle cannot repair itself. 

Listen to your body; do not ignore it.  Gather knowledge, then act.

Yours truly has just returned from the gym.

Welcome!

Hi there. I’ve not ‘blogged’ before and, in a world of information overload, wish to only post information of value.

What is really interesting to me at the beginning of 2010 is how so many people, including myself, say that 2009 was an annus horribilis and how they are looking forward to a more positive and rewarding 2010.

That’s great… for mindset is important.

However, how many times have I heard folk say “Oh, no, I’m not going to make any new year resolutions. I never keep them”.

So, seriously, how can you expect life to change ( for the better ) if you are not prepared to change yourself? Quite simply, if you are not teachable, life won’t get better. If you are not both willing to learn and willing to change, your life won’t change.

So what I am doing differently?

Well, I have taken the first couple of weeks of this year to gain as much medical information that I can regarding a chronic shoulder condition that I have suffered with for years… and I have booked in with a physio and a pain rehab specialist to take me through a consistent training program. I knew I couldn’t / wouldn’t do it on my own.

How often do you overlook a niggle, pain, indigestion, emotional issue and just ‘hope’ it will get better?

I refused steroid injections and have sourced an AMAZING product based on Turmeric (Cumerone 1200) which has magically blocked /stopped the pain.  Herbal, natural and it works. If you are in pain, contact me and I’ll tell you where to get it. It is natural.

Robynism’s

Some old, some new, some borrowed – all true!  

The Robynism’s this week are around YOU taking control of YOU; about accepting responsibility for your lot in life and not blaming others.
We grow not go to success and it does take discipline. 

 

 

For things to change, I must change

 

If you’re not growing, you are dying

The opposite to discipline is disaster

Don’t wish life was easier, make sure you get better

Live your life as an exclamation, not an explanation

 

To know and not to do is not to know

 

Spend so much time improving yourself, that you have no time to criticise others
