Saw this blog and thought it presented some nice ideas on why it’s beneficial to be barefoot as much as possible.  Here’s the link: Five Finger Shoes!

And check out these pictures!

I saw this article in Massage Magazine and think it’s worth passing on.  Basically, it recommends that when you get home and you’re tired, try something different in order to feel different.  I recall hearing a definition for “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”.  So this article is saying, if you want to have a different result, try doing something different when you get home for the evening.  Great advice!

Sit before you Veg

Got this from Facebook via Tom Myers:

“Patrick Wall suggested that pain may be likened to a “need” state, like thirst or hunger. Both of these are uncomfortable states that require action for their downregulation, i.e., a “consummatory act.”

If you are thirsty, to get a drink is the “consummatory act” that will satisfy that particular “need” state.

If you are hungry, to find and eat some food is the “consummatory act” that will satisfy that particular “need” state.

If you have pain, to find a way to move that will dispel the sense that you can’t, will be the “consummatory act” that will satisfy that particular need state.”
