Day 19

Well, here it is the last day of June. It's been helpful to post about my efforts to install a new habit, namely, Working on The Mess, but I think I've had about enough of posting about it. Terribly boring subject, wouldn't you say? Anyway, I'm off to install a new habit.

This one will be to work The Core Program everyday -- the key term being "everyday." Core Program? What's up with that? Well, I have developed a tendency to throw out my neck and sacro-lilac joint, and more recently, ribs. Turns out this is largely the result of having the core muscles (those of the torso) either too weak or too tight. The Core Program addresses these imbalances by strengthening muscles that are too weak and stretching muscles that are too tight. Once these muscles are appropriately stretched and toned in a balanced way, one is much less prone to developing the kinds of problems that send people to the chiropractor.

So that's the idea behind the Core Program: Fifteen minutes a day of stretching and strengthening key muscles of the torso. I'll let you know how I do. And with the support I derive from this process of posting every day about it, I hope to develop this habit and thereby save my musculo-skeletal system for another day. Thanks for your support. Comments are welcome.
