Healthy Lifestyle Tip ~ What Your Pain Level During Exercise is Telling You

by

Have you ever experienced pain while exercising? I think it’s a common occurence. I asked the AI generated Google search “At what level of pain should one stop exercising. Here’s how the Google AI responded:

When exercising, you can use a pain scale of 0-10 to determine if you should modify your exercise. Pain between 0-3 is okay, and you can increase the load. Pain between 3-5 is okay, but you should keep the load the same. Pain between 5-10 is a sign that you should modify your exercise. It’s also important that your pain settles back to baseline levels within 24 hours.
Pain can come on quickly while exercising or shortly after. Soreness, however, should last anywhere from one to three days. If your soreness turns into pain or pushes you past your comfort level, it is time to scale back. Pushing through sharp, acute pain could be causing more damage than good. To prevent injuries, you should always warm up with stretches or low-intensity exercises before physical activity.

Poem for Today ~ On Pain

On Pain

Kahlil Gibran

And a woman spoke, saying, Tell us of Pain.
     And he said:
     Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
     Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.
     And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
     And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
     And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.

     Much of your pain is self-chosen.
     It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
     Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility:
     For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
     And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.

Positive Thought for the Day ~ You are Not Alone

by

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle,

known loss, and have found their way out of those depths.” ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

 

NOTE: You are not alone in your struggles, in the pain you are experiencing, in the great loss in your life. People throughout the world share the same experience and understand what you are experiencing because they share it with you. Life calls you to live, to transform your pain into something special. Make something good come from it. You can do it.

Inspiring Quote of the Day ~ Burn out the Pain

“Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.”

~ Joseph Campbell

Power Thought ~ Don’t Let the Hurt Win

by

Welcome to the club if you’ve ever been hurt, betrayed, shunned, or disrespected. I think everyone has or will be during their life. The only way pain wins is if we let it fester and continue ruminate on it. Healing comes when we can let the pain go, forgive, and move on. Don’t let the hurt keep you down. You’re stronger and tougher than anything that’s been dished onto your plate.

Today’s Poem ~ Come With Me I Said, And No One Knew

by

Come With Me, I Said, and No One Knew

Pablo Neruda

Come with me, I said, and no one knew
where, or how my pain throbbed,
no carnations or barcaroles for me,
only a wound that love had opened.
I said it again: Come with me, as if I were dying,
and no one saw the moon that bled in my mouth
or the blood that rose into the silence.
O Love, now we can forget the star that has such thorns!
That is why when I heard your voice repeat
Come with me, it was as if you had let loose
the grief, the love, the fury of a cork-trapped wine
the geysers flooding from deep in its vault:
in my mouth I felt the taste of fire again,
of blood and carnations, of rock and scald.

What If . . .

by

What if I decided the past can’t hurt or haunt me? Every human has scars, emotional or physical, from past hurts. Physical scars heal over, but the emotional pain often remains. The worse part of the pain occurs when we allow the past emotional and physical scars to continue to hurt us over and again. We allow the memories to haunt us like Dickens’ ghost from Christmas past. We may not be able to prevent these thoughts from randomly popping into our mind. We can make a decision not to join them. Let the thoughts stay as long as they want and tell them not to let the door hit them in the ass when they leave. Don’t give them power by reminiscing with them.

A Better Life ~ Treasure the Good Memories

Only memories lie behind us. Whatever memories you have, discard the painful memories, treasure the good memories. The good memories, those of love, good times, successes, give us confidence that future will be friendly to us.
