    Back Infographic

    If you are suffering from lower back pain, chances are you have some habits that aren’t kind to your spine. For example, you might think that your back is safe if you spend your days sitting at a desk instead of lifting heavy objects, but sitting actually puts 40% more pressure on your spine than standing.

    You can learn from these 10 habits that are hurting your back (infographic from The Center for Spinal Disorders) . . .

    1. Sitting too long.

    2. Having your car seat in a bad position.

    3. Skipping exercise.

    4. Overloading your purse or briefcase.

    5. Eating an unhealthy diet.

    6. Sleeping on an old mattress.

    7. Wearing high heels.

    8. Letting stress build up.

    9. Watching too much TV.

    10. Ignoring back pain.

    Tim Hartman on Powerful Storytelling

    Here are a few tips from storyteller and comedian Tim Hartman on how to tell powerful stories:

    1. Don’t be spastic. Tone it down. Relax your delivery. Talks more softly.

    2. Keep it simple. Use no gimmicks. Just tell the story.

    3. Be enthusiastic. If you enjoy the story, your audience will enjoy the story.

    4. Be relatable. “As a storyteller its your job to let people know that you’ve been in a situation just like them,” Hartman says.

    5. Know your story. Be prepared. Practice. Find the heart of the story.

    6. Use details. Show, don’t tell.

    7. Don’t be inhibited. Reach out of your comfort zone.

    Cicero On Old Age

    If at every stage of your career you always do the right thing, your actions will bring you remarkable dividends when you have lived a long time and achieved a great deal.

    The most effective armor against the approach of age is absolute clarity about the difference between right and wrong.

    Live a healthy life, by exercising moderately and by not eating and drinking too much.

    It doesn’t matter how much time has passed; a foolish old man can never be consoled or comforted.

    Great things are achieved by prudence and character and experience.

    If some people are dissatisfied with their life, it’s because of their character, not their age.

    Human nature is like wine: it does not invariably sour just because it is old.

    I have often remarked that the harvest of old age is memory—the memory of whatever good things have happened to us before we get old.

    Cameron Conaway on Getting Fit

    No pain, no gain is a bunch of crap.

    I’ve learned that if I’m too strict, too monotonous, and not listening to my body it’s easy for me to get discouraged and/or to begin overtraining.

    Keep a log of the workouts you’ve done in the past to learn what worked and what didn’t.

    Get involved in some type of group class like yoga.

    Try different ways to work out so you don’t get bored or stagnant.

    Eat whole foods.

    Spices are an excellent way to add extra flavor to our meals without using non-food substances.

    Take vitamin D, fish oil, and supplemental protein powder.
