Trying something new with this one…. Linda Carter as

I saw this idea of painting a skateboard, but cutting parts of it down and wanted to give it a go.

I chose to do Wonder Woman, and with my very limited wood working skills, I ended up with this.

I’m actually really pleased with how it turned out. I think the silhouette works really well. What do you think?

Struggling with your sleep? Try getting outside for 5-10 minutes in the morning and get some sunlight on your eyes (it also works if it’s cloudy).

Doing this can help reset your sleep wake cycle by increasing cortisol and serotonin and reducing melatonin. This will hopefully make you feel more awake during the day, but then sleepy again later that night.

To be extra special, trying going for a short walk whilst you are doing this, it’s a win win.

I just uploaded a new video to my YouTube channel and also to the blog on my website.

https://www.elevatechiropractic.co.nz/blog/best-sleeping-positions-for-a-lower-back-disc-bulge-l4l5-l5s1

This video is all about how to sleep with a disc bulge (but the tips will also work with most lower back pain as well).

If you have a disc bulge or a sore lower back and struggle to get comfortable at night, this video is also for you.

This video is actually the third one in a series about disc bulges. The first was all about how to speed up your recovery from a disc bulge and the second was how to sit with the disc bulge. If you'd like to see those, head over to my website (or watch them on my YouTube channel). You can see them in the blog section.

Wondering how to sleep with a lower back disc bulge? Learn the best sleeping positions, how to get in and out of bed safely, and simple morning movements to reduce pain.

Sometimes you have to treat yourself and we decided to get some Groovy Gumdrops icecream on the weekend from Pak n Save.

This is what it looked like when I opened the container.

We hit the mother load of lollies.

There was also the normal amount of lollies in the actual icecream as well.

Needless to say, Bailey and Quinn were excited 😆

If you sit at a desk, in the car, on the couch for hours at a time, your spine is paying the price.

Here is a 20 second habit you can do every 30 to 60 minutes to protect your lower back.

Set a timer, stand-up, try the standing extension exercise, that’s it.

Struggling with late night snacking?

Here’s a simple two minute trick that helps break the habit - brush your teeth straight after dinner.

The minty taste kills cravings, and nobody wants to brush twice.

I recently learned this from Ben Azadi, and it’s working great for me.

Try tonight and see if it works for you.

My latest painting …. “Bullitt”.

Acrylic on canvas.

This is my take on the image from the classic car chase from the 1968 movie “Bullitt” with Steve McQueen.

It’s quite challenging to paint a car in my style where I don’t blend the different shades, but I think this turned out pretty cool. I think it’s pretty recognizable.

I like the simplified, more graphic nature of the image, and the colour also works well. It’s quite a change from my normal black and white and grey paintings.
