Our friend Tom’s laptop keeps shutting down on him while he’s working. It happens several times a week. The laptop isn’t broken — it actually warns Tom twice that it needs to be plugged in before it shuts down! Tom just needs to stop what he’s doing, acknowledge the alerts, and take action. Many of us hear the alerts our bodies are giving us in the form of aches and pains. They say, “Pay attention, do something about this!” But we ignore these messages, limp along, and make do as we slowly lose mobility.
