Creativity is huge and I have actually narrowed down the start of my TMS to losing martial arts in my life. It was my passion and my outlet. My team and my friends. I had to give up martial arts training for money reasons and I was extremely sad and depressed about that.I was actually on track...

Thanks for the reply Walt, I think I'm on the right path as I'm just working out the way I used to with squats, deadlifts, and presses, and martial arts.they just happen to be amazing back exercises. Definitely not exercises someone with a "bad back" would do. I just worry about being over...

Solid advice guys and trust me I'm bending a lot now. It just that automatic hesitation that I get at first is hard to shake. I know that will go away as I break the conditioning. I seem to be getting huge mood swings now too like swings of anger and swings of depression. I think obsessing...

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone with their TMS developed a fear of bending or hurting themselves by bending too much? I came to realize that I had become so fearful of causing pain that I wouldn't move at my hips like normal people. I would avoid it at all costs. When I did have to...

Nothing scary, I have been working out daily so my body is normal sore. I have noticed my pain moving but I'm able to make it go away pretty quick or sleep it away.it makes me laugh sometimes actually as it tries. I have had it move around my back, shoulder, foot, headache, I even got a cold for...

On day 10 because I have been doing so well I actually skipped a day, I forgot to do it because I have been feeling so well.I started Steve Ozanichs book a few days ago and it has completely changed things for me. I just all of a sudden felt really able to commit, really able to keep my thoughts...

I am seeing progress already. Through the exercices daily I have uncovered things about myself that I had completely forgotten like after losing my father at a very young age I never allowed myself to cry. I would not allow myself to feel such unmanly emotion and I have been that way since. No...

Thanks for the support. I am working hard on talking to myself differently and getting better in touch with my emotions. Its hard to admit to myself but I have pretty much closed myself up to all emotions over the years like a robot. I will give your suggestions a try.

I should add I did a ton of bending and lifting for a kids bday party yesterday woke up feeling pretty good. Then I did some digging in the yard and house work which also involved a little bending. My back is fairly sore now and I'm trying to pay it no attention but my mind immediately goes to...

I last worked out tuesday. I am trying to lose weight and get back in shape for martial arts.I would like to workout more but I keep having set backs with flare ups of back pain. I feel like I put too much pressure on myself by expecting things to move so fast. I try not to but there is always...

I am feeling very optimistic in my journey right now. I have no trouble believing in the TMS theory like I see some people. I have seen sucess already in treating shoulder and trap pain and I am using the program to finish my journey by ending my back pain and getting back to martial arts. Up...
