Ah. You’re thinking of the afterlife, not death. All major religions that I know of do not shy away from death. How could they? We have to get to that afterlife somehow, eh?

Strengthening the core much be done what you don’t have acute pain. Some version of stretching can be done while in pain. PT did much more for me than doctors but a well placed steroid shot can definitely help

Both incorrect and an awful tip.

Plan your weekend in advance.

Working full time leaves you with so little personal time. It’s really important to use that time as wisely and efficiently as possible in whatever way most benefits you.

Treat planning your weekend as if you were planning for someone who you want the best for. That gives you the best chance at balancing fun, relaxation, chores and keeping it tailored to you and your interests.

Some personal notes: I understand feeling unfulfilled from your job, and how quickly a weekend can fly by. I try knock all my chores out during the week, and try jam as much fun stuff as possible into the weekend. It took a while to work out what I enjoy, and how to plan it properly to suit me, but very rarely do I get bored now or have that Sunday afternoon mood killer thinking about work (despite my job being stressful and not enjoyable at all)

Each weekend I always try to catch up with someone over a coffee/beer/meal, do something physical like surf/bike ride/indoor rock climb, etc and make sure I do something relaxing like go for a walk on the beach by myself or put some music on and just zone out for a while.

How you decide to plan your weekend is completely individual. If you want to watch movies, then plan it in! Don’t think it has to be a certain way, just plan it. You’ll change your plan all the time and each time you do you’ll get better at it and your weekend will get more and more enjoyable as you do.

Good luck!

Most of them. They replace it with nonsense about immortality in some wonderful place that’s totally made-up, where they’ll be reunited with dead friends and family.

What if a friend takes pictures/video during the proposal? Demand they delete the evidence from their device, you put on nails, and then have a do-over? What a way to destroy the mood.

If there are certain conditions you want for a proposal, COMMUNICATE those conditions to your partner.

Yeah I was going to suggest foam rollers and strengthening the area, but if it’s nerves or something I’m not sure it will help.

>I make a point of adding a permanent "Out of Office" block of time in the afternoon on those days.

Yeah, I have 3-5pm (our standard hours are 9-5) and a 1 hour slot for lunch in the middle of the day set as OoO every day.

>Outlook/Exchange has an option for your calendar to "Always decline meeting requests which overlap with others".

Wasn't aware of this, but yeah would only really be useful if I could set it for specific meetings as often the meetings getting out ontop of others outrank the first meeting - so wouldn't work too well as a blanked rule for me.

Stretch your hamstrings. I'm also a fan of squats and deadlifts. I've read it's a bad idea because you can hurt yourself going heavy. Like no shit, if your back is sore you aren't loading up the bar and going for it! Light weights and full range of motion.

“Yay” -> “ Bless your heart.”

My PT recommended hip raises/gluten bridges. Along with good core strengthening exercises. I alternate between plank and crunches. If I don't do that for a couple weeks my sciatica comes back with a vengeance

This could end badly. If this is someone who doesn’t lift and isn’t in a routine already, they’re not going to start squatting and deadlifting lol

How old is your mattress? That could be an issue.

It's funny because bam margera has done this to his pedo uncle countless times. They all suck so much haha.

Walk as much as you can, stay on your feet all day if possible. Lastly, I read recently that snooker is a great way to gently exercise your back

Hip flexor stretches.

Do people not normally wash their car regularly (frequency depending on where you live and if it’s muddy or dusty), and vacuum and wipe down the inside? Why would you wait until you want a new car to wash it?

I do odd hours a couple of days a week. I make a point of adding a permanent "Out of Office" block of time in the afternoon on those days.

You always know who doesn't bother checking the free/busy, by the people who send you a meeting request for these times.

Outlook/Exchange has an option for your calendar to "Always decline meeting requests which overlap with others". It annoys me that you can only apply this to the whole calendar and not specfic meetings.

Look up a periformes stretch. Basically you sit in a chair out one ankle over your knee and do that for around 30 seconds it will help with lbp coming from what my PT told me since I have constant hip pain

Ah yeah, forgot that thing lol

It is evident you have never worked in a restaurant of any kind before lol
