If you’re like me, managing scoliosis has been a lifelong journey of trial and error. Every physical therapist and fitness expert seems to have their own take on what’s best, but one exercise keeps popping up in conversations—side planks.

Last week, I found myself frozen in front of a simple to-do list. Just three tasks. But my brain turned it into a mountain. If you’ve ever stared at a minor issue for hours, second-guessing every tiny detail, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Anxiety doesn’t just make you “worry” — it hijacks your ability…
It always catches me off guard—the moment when city lights at night turn into a swirling mess of tiny floaters drifting across my vision. If you’ve experienced this, you know exactly what I mean.

Ever tried to relax with your favorite essential oil diffusing in the background, only to find yourself distracted by those annoying floaters drifting across your vision? I’ve been there.

Not long ago, during one of my evening gratitude meditations, I noticed something odd—tiny drifting specs and shadowy threads floating across my vision.
