At 55, the body, in my case, started behaving abnormally.
Back ache was the one problem that caused me a lot of pain and consequently my
behaviour with family members and others deteriorated. My smile turned into
grin.
Children started saying: Papa please don’t behave like this.
The ratio of their showing up in my room reduced to 30%.
Diagnosis:
All this made me to introspect and find the reasons for my
irritating behaviour. When I went on focusing and finding the reasons for this
behaviour: I concluded: Backache is the reason.
The ailment was diagnosed. Now next, I started thinking,
what are causes of back ache.
Causes:
Again, I focused, closing my eyes and increasing my
observations:
I noted my daily routine.
First, I found, 60% of the time of the day, I was sitting on
my chair and working on computer. The chairs angle was 90 degree that could be
bent back to 135-150 degree.
My sitting posture was not right while I worked on the
computer.
My back protruded backward and head stooped on the table
where my laptop and computer are kept.
This posture made my backbone bend and it caused ache and
pain. Continuous pain was the cause of my bad behaviour with family members,
friends and others.
Second, I found that
rest of the time, I enjoyed lying on sofa and using the remote to change the
channels.
So, the entire day, I was not keeping proper posture.
Whatever I ate, I could not digest. This caused burning problem in my heart and
neighboring areas.
Regular sitting before the laptop, computer and television
also lowered the inhaling and hence caused low supply of oxygen to my
physiological system.
Now the problem was diagnosed, causes were discerned and
next I started thinking about the remedies and cures.
CURE
- For
breathing and more intake of oxygen I started morning walk in the park
having lot of greenery.
- One
day, I was asked to carry cooking gas cylinder to 1st floor. I
grumbled a lot but carried it. I found that after I placed the cylinder in
kitchen, my back pain had substantially reduced. I, immediately, thought
of doing some physical work.
- I
started gardening and doing household chores happily. Buying grocery,
buying vegetables, I go on foot.
- I
started drinking more water which I used to miss while working on laptop
or watching television.
- Now I
have a wooden chair having 90 degree angle. My back remains straight while
I work.
Just these 5 changes have made my back pain go by 80-85% and
I hope that with due course of time, the entire pain will be cured. My family
members, friends and others are happy and surprised at my joyful and tolerant
behaviour. Before, this observation, I
visited many doctors and ate many medicines. May be those medicines too have
worked from within. But these 5 changes in my life style gave a lot of relief.
