Posture Gadget Madness??

Visomate spots poor posture

"Maintaining a good posture is something that has to be taught to children when they are young, or they will end up hunched over in front of their computers when puberty hits, making any attempt at change doomed from the beginning. I am speaking from experience, and think that the Visomate USB Vision and Posture Reminder targets those who want to make a positive change in their seating habits." more...

Aaaaaah...I don't really know what to say about this...

I do think, there are good intentions behind this, yet it's another great example of how we tend to look for gadgets to 'fix' things. Adopting a short term view and ignoring the longer term implications speaks to acting from a place of fear.

Motivation v Inspiration

The inspiration for this post came from an Egoscue message board post by Matt Whitehead, Clinic Director - The Egoscue Method Portland.

Motivation is fear based - away from. Inspiration is joy based - towards.

Big difference, don't you think?

Think about this: why do you want to be pain free? And is being pain free really your goal?

• If you are taking action (such as doing your Egoscue menus) to be Pain Free, that is motivation – a short term, fear based approach.

• If you are doing menus to get your body able to walk, run, play with your grandkids, or climb a mountain, that is inspiration - which is a long term solution.

Inspiration doesn't have to be big or clever, it just has to have meaning.
