So, my idea is to create a group that will help neglected blogs.  So, the name I came up with so far is HTBB. Which means, Help This Blogging Boomer.

Now, I am going to be completely honest with you.  Someone should call HTBB on me right now. I mean if my neighbors knew they could call this group for intervention because I have neglected some of my blogs.

The question is should HTTB put them under someone elses care for a while? Should I get help to maintain, sustain and entertain them?  Frankly, I know I am not alone so I am on a mission.

Since I am the founder of HTTB I am seeking volunteers to help me help other baby boomer bloggers. How?

First we will start with ourselves.

Task #1

Look at all your blogs and note the last time you created a post.  Be bold and post the answer, with the name of the blogs, as a comment. Ok, here is transparency, I promise to tell you, as part of my own therapy, before the end of the week.

Are you up for the challenge?

 Starting yesterday, I am getting up from this computer every hour.

This is not the kind of change I need! How about you?

I am stretching my neck now.

Get your copy of Healthy Computing Today!!! It will cost a whole lot less than physical Therapy.

But there are some things I can keep doing now and that is keep my posture good and get up stretch , walk around and dance when stressed.(smile) Hey, if I do that with each stressful moment I could lose weight.

A yoga class has increased my awareness about tuning in to my body. So when I am intense and focused on my computer screen my neck moves forward. My shoulder blades try to introduce themselves to each other and all my tensions have a networking party in my neck.

What Can I Do?

• I must do neck stretches even while at the computer.
• I must get up and stretch my whole body about every hour.
• I should not multi-task as much (Not a boomer thing)
• I should do deep breaths.
• I do walk away when things are too much to figure out.

Have I arrived yet? No, right now I have that one-sided pain in the neck and headache soooo I am going to get up, stretch, do another task besides phone work , paper work, or presentation work. I am going to put on some music and do the boomer blogging dance.

Bummer, Ray is not here to join me so it is ok to have my own blogging dance performance.

Does anyone remember the funky chicken? “Get on the good foot?” or some great gospel will work.

What’s your favorate de-stressing boomer music to move by?

Also neck pain was enhanced because of poor posture and position of the screen. So if you are going to blog or already blogging watch your food intake as how you computer screen. keyboard and chair is positioned.

You know what you can do? Google ergonomics and look at the pictures of the right way to sit, etc.

I am referring you to this link with pictures that will be on the f rst page and is very good.

Ray already made more changes today. He lowered the mouse so that it was the same level as his keyboard. This way he does not have to keep his arm in a position higher than the keyboard while working that mouse.

We need to talk more about this in future posts.
