I cried myself to sleep last night

Actually that's inaccurate, 

My thighs cried themselves to sleep last night.

This morning is a welcomed break from cycling in. 

We are on the train... 

There is a parents coffee morning which says something about the culture here. 

Companies are seriously flexible to parents going to school and schools are flexible to children being taken out of school.

Anyway, the thighs are aching and so is my left shoulder and the left side of my neck. 

This is the day to take action on that. 

I have my own simple self treatment system that I use with my clients involving bands and balls. 

I've been guilty before of noticing a problem and ignoring it. 

What would have taken 10 minutes of attention can snow ball into weeks of treatment. 

Even if we adapt and the discomfort fades the issue still remains. 

Sounds like a metaphor but it's not, it's the law, ignored discomfort grows, adapts and grows again into problems that require major intervention. 

As Tony Robbins says, we have to learn to kill the monster when it's a baby. 

Ignoring might seem like time saving but it never is. Eventually life just becomes an ongoing exercise in fixing those things we ignored in the past. 

The skill is to seek discomfort and turn into it, it's the art of bending time.
