Advertise on podcast: mindset over b******t with Kendrick Avant

MS Diary | Monday, 2/26/24 | Weekend woes I came into the weekend on a warm streak. I started strong with yoga, exercise, meditation to manage nerve pain in left leg. It worked too. This week will be much the same. I didn't continue the wellness routines I started. Now, I'm back to square one. Hope the process works again. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message

MS Diary | Friday, 2/23/24 | I manifested this… I've been really focused on the left leg pain. SO focused, I manifested a way to slow the pain. Suddenly, the Rubicon World's Lightest Electric stopped charging. That means I can't use it. Now, I'm back to Optimus Prime. Now, a familiar pain. *sigh* This ain’t no life for the weak. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message

MS Diary | Thursday, 2/22/24 | What I Learned… Aight, the left leg is not solved BUT I gotta hot lead. Another Wheelchair User commented she had similar pains. The problem ended up being the WHEELCHAIR!  Apparently, if you're wheelchair-bound, the wheelchair must be measured and set by your specifications. If not, your seating position affects your body.  My wife confirmed the story with hospital tales. I thought this earlier but kept my fingers crossed.  What will I do? More yoga. I only did one AM yoga session yesterday. That's why I believe the leg pain was active last night. Yoga is outside the wheelchair, less time in whatever bad seating angle. Also, probably gonna switch back to the Dalton power wheelchair for daily use. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message

MS Diary | Wednesday, 2/21/24 | Left leg pain day 3 I did an AM and PM yoga session for relief. Straight legs are difficult to perform but it definitely lowers the new pain. I'm taking Tizanidine too. It gives no pain relief but it does help me sleep.  Sleep is paramount to my daily efficiency. I gotta sleep so I can think clearly when making wellness decisions.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message

MS Diary | Tuesday, 2/20/24 | Treating the left leg pain I'm taking it serious. Yesterday, I threw 1200mg of Ibuprofen. Didn't work Baclofen. No help. Tizanidine. Nope.  I did 3 rounds of yoga, morning, noon, night. I think it helped. The pain hit in shorter episodes. When it started, if I did yoga, it would subside. It kicks back after I stop. *grits teeth* Today, I'm rocking Tizanidine and finished yoga. The Tizanidine has me falling asleep in my wheelchair and while holding poses.  This is going to be a challenge.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message

MS Diary | Monday, 2/19/24 | Now, it's serious  I've admitted to this pain before. Over the last few months, I've thought it was nerve pain, new spasms, muscle weakness, sciatica. At some point, I blamed my sleeping position.  It's a combination of everything. This finally hit priority status because it's 3 straight days. My plan? No doctor yet. I think if I do more yoga and exercise, I can lessen the intensity. As of this post, I've done 30min. I'll do another 30 before bed. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message

MS Diary | Friday, 2/16/24 | We've survived everything thrown at us! Tribespeople. Wheelchair Users. Don't EVER forget that we have survived. We are still here. Despite all the bullshit, we're here. You know that means something. That means we're CHAMPIONS! We've always found a way to keep going. We've always found a way to adapt. We've found a way even if we didn't want a way. THAT means something.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message

MS Diary | Wednesday, 2/14/24 | About that nerve pain… Nerve pain is 2nd only to back pain but I'm aware it can be worse. I can meditate to manage nerve pain. It takes serious focus but I can do it. As soon as I do anything else, it stomps back. Yikes. I can't tap out on Valentines so pills on deck. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message

MS Diary | Monday, 2/12/24 | How the Super Bowl motivated me The Chiefs stopped all the high-powered, fancy smancy, offensive stuff. Instead, they focused on key players and great defense. It's working.  Our defense against chronic illnesses, disabilities and limitations is our wellness. It's our daily regimen, yoga, exercise, water, diet. These activities slow the effects of whatever disables us.  Our offense is mindset. We can reset tough days by resetting stressors. We score everytime we shake dark thoughts to smile and shine. Nothing else is needed for the wIn except to smile and shine. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message

MS Diary | Friday, 2/9/24 | New NP for MS *makes muscle* Medicaid appointments are what you make em. I tried to find a plan that my previous PCP accepted but nothing was in my budget. So, here comes the next medical team, starting with a NP to update ADA paperwork. Hopefully, he'll have ideas on sleeping, nerve pain and my feet.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message

MS Diary | Thursday, 2/8/24 | I didn't meet my water goal I'm an honest guy. I didn't meet my water goal. I doubt I increased water intake at all. As a result, I continued to have blank restroom trips.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kendrickavant/message
