This is really for me I found this really helpful… advice… Do it a bit less time.. and no you don’t always need a tech solution… and pain is a good reminder… good thing to notice and make a priority to eliminate and be honest about … I enjoyed and think this is very helpful to suggest hey do it for less time; memorize it, move away from pain… thank you!!! Takes courage to put yourself and your ideas out there!!

@Vanessa- sometimes 20 minutes can be hard to commit to in life, especially if it’s something that needs to be done exclusively (I’m not worried about 30 minutes of listening to Bach next year because I can do that in the car or while working). Maybe 10 minutes a few times a week might be good to aim for and you can always go longer on days you are feeling it!

@Anne – thanks! Or asking if you’d do it on vacation. Vacations are real days too, so anything that’s daily would need to work on vacations…

@Michele T – I came up with a sequence of stretches + exercises based on various things my trainer had done with me over the past few months. I was in pain and decided to just try doing it every day for a while. The first two weeks were just sheer discipline – put it on the to-do list each day and do it. But now I’m starting to see a little improvement which is highly motivational. I still write it on my daily to do list though. I may do that for a while until it truly is mindless.
