Wishing each and every one of you a Great New Year Ahead! My wish to you is for a New year filled with the fulfilment of wishes you wish for yourself. My wish to you is that this is the year you discover relief from your back and sciatic pain, you find what works for you and apply it consistently. My wish is that you are happy and at peace with yourself, the world and everyone in it. Here are just a few quotes I find to be inspiring to me. "With all its sham ,drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world." "Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome." "When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves." "Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder..."

Every now and again I like to read inspirational quotes and poetry to give me a lift and motivation, or just to realise that someone else has been there before... I love these quotes which I think can apply themselves to if you are coping with back pain and sciatica. Its all about having the courage, determination and hope to keep on going , keep on searching and trying and wanting to beat this thing. I know a few quotes wont make back pain disappear but if they help a little then thats good. If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this:  Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say,  "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me. Ann Landers I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. Mother Teresa The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of...

My work is with kids with physical and learning disabilities, so every day I know these young people are coping with things that I never had to endure. Finding myself in a reflective mood today I was thinking when I was struggling with my own back pain and my own limitations and I have to say getting very down, frustrated and angry with it all, I used to sometimes look to them for hope and inspiration to guide me through it. I do believe at that time they helped me far more than I helped them... I once worked with a young man who had muscular dystrophy and knew he was going to die. We talked through what he wanted from a charity who gives kids the last gift. He was very matter of fact about it weighing up if he wanted something to keep like a TV or if he wanted something he could experience with his family to have the memories of it until he died, and for his family to have good memories of that too even after he died. He chose the latter.... I can tell you I left that meeting...

In my opinion, anyone dealing with back pain and sciatica symptoms or any health issue is courageous... Dealing with the pain , the medical tests, emotional and practical impact on your life, the hopes and the fears, the positives and the setbacks; possibly even surgery and picking yourself up and moving on... It requires a mental and emotional strength of being some of us may not have been aware that we possessed. It is not always an outward show of courage, it may not even be recognized as courage, it may not be noticed at all, but it is courage nonetheless. I think these quotes say it beautifully... "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow". Mary Anne Radmacher "There is nobody else like you, The more you can quiet your own thoughts,fears,doubts and suspicions, the more will be revealled to you from the higher realms of imagination , intuition and inspiration...
