Day 4 – Body Scan | Self-Care Awareness Month With The Feminine Code

Day 4: Body Scan.  Today we are observing parts of our bodies where we hold tension when we are doing our work. My hands are my assets. I need them to be fully functioning, at ease and stressed. I do a lot of work on my laptop and have RSI recurring episodes if I overwork my fingers and hands. I have to ensure that I take good care of my hands and wrists by not putting too much strain on them. If I don’t maintain a good balance of work and restful intervals, I can easily have a relapse and be unable to type or do anything too strenuous with my hands for days.

Many years ago I suffered severely with carpal tunnel syndrome and had to have an operation to release the pressure on my wrists. It is still quite painful if I overwork my hands, and I am aware when I get muscle tightness in my fingers and wrists that it is time to rest!

This picture is a celebration of how much I appreciate my hands, as without them I would not be able to do what I love with my business online, blogging and writing. Henna art painted by the talented @hennabybjoti.
In this day and age of so much use of digital technology, it’s important to take care of your hands. Do not ignore the signs if you feel twinges of pain associated with typing and texting. Take regular breaks and try not to type to fast.

Have you ever suffered from RSI or carpal tunnel syndrome? I would love to hear how you manage your pain.
