When BoJack Horseman (2014-2020) said "you can't keep doing shitty things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it ok. you need to be better" and "all we have are the connections we make" and "I really should've thought about the view from halfway down" and "sometimes you have to take responsibility for your own happiness" and "you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, you turn yourself around, THAT'S what it's all about" and "things have to get worse before they can get better" and "in real life, the big gesture isn't enough, you need to be consistent" and "if we hadn't met each other until now, we wouldn't be the people we are now" and, my personal favourite, "every day it gets a little easier, but you gotta do it every day, that's the hard part, but it does get easier".

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

Tips:
  • Do the best you can
  • If it hurts stop
  • Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises

NOTE: I can do most of these with the cerebral palsy. In fact, a lot of these little exercises are automatically part of my physical therapy. My problem is I already have hyperlordosis, spine arthritis, and cervicogenic headache. These have helped me at least try to have a posture.

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS ADVICE IS

"Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises" is probably THE BEST piece of advice for my brain.

my heart broke last night when my coworkers were talking about the last movies they had seen and one of them was saying it was either dr. strange or spiderman. and one of us was like which spiderman cause there was the marvel one and then the one that came out recently and she looked confused and then said with a note of disgust "not the CARTOON"

both me and another coworker gasped in shock and tbh i cant see her the same way anymore 😭😭

wow. just got the first "phishing" simulated test email from my job to test us on if we'd click spam links and stuff and i gotta say this one was fucking rude/ set off my anxiety. Cause other than a few things they look quite realistic, and in this case it said I authorised a payment of over $1000. scared the shit outta me. thankfully i reported it to the thing and it literally said "congratulations you caught our phishing test!" so i know for sure, but jeez.

i guess it's the point, since real phishing scams will scare you with big numbers and money and "authorised payments" so you get scared and click the link and try to fix it and accidentally give them your info. so it was very realistic there.

but i didn't need that to be the first thing i saw when opening my phone lmao

gotta document this hilariously bad day i'm having (bad-annoying not bad-scary)

wake up, my boyfriend says there are a lot of ants in the kitchen (i have a mild phobia of ants) great.

procrastinate getting food, my new manager calls and says the drug test i did for pre-employment has to be retaken for some reason (i'm guessing i drank too much water and it was too dilute) super great.

might try and do retake today, go to eat food and drink something, boyfriend was NOT lying about the ant problem. theyre everywhere. i wont step foot in kitchen right now.

gonna go pick up my boyfriend from school and get food because i'm grossed out, birds have shit on my car in 3 places, one very prominently on the windshield. fab.

get in car, some truck from the city is blocking my driveway. go back inside to wait since i dont know where driver is.

truck moves, i pick up boyfriend and things are already a lot better. he drives because im convinced with my luck i'll get in a car crash today.

manager texts and says i'll be starting my new job a week later now since I have to retake. i guess.

im just thoroughly impressed by my bad luck today. shocked i havent cried from frustration. hopefully the rest of the day is better cause SHEEEESH.
