Athena Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I needed a reminder to myself so thought I would start a thread on the topic.Stand up...for yourselfStand up...for what you believe inStand up...and be heardStand up...tall, especially when you don't feel like itStand up...but if you can't, then go lie down - you probably need a restStand up...and stretch after 10 minutes at the computer!The first three are reminding myself how I want to live life. The last three are about avoiding or getting rid of chronic back pain. That last one is probably REALLY important if you are on this site - go do it. Now (and I will do the same:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Can I add one?Stand up ... and dance!I'm particularly fond of what I call the "happy butt" dance, but any kind will do. Just get up and spend at least, say, 30 seconds just shaking stuff.It's remarkably hard to sit down again, unhappy. :-)I use it as a way to shake myself out of a negative train of thought. I know it's pretty similar to your "stand up and stretch", but for me, I need the psychological change of scenery as much as I need the physical one.

Athena Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Absolutely - add to the list whenever you want. I like yours. Now that I've had my stretch, I was going to add:Stand up...and pet your cat (which I ended up doing after the stretch)Stand up...and hug your kids (which I'm looking forward to doing when I get them back this Wednesday - just found out:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
