10 things to do without using your wrists
God Of War has taught me that my wrists - moreso than my hands or fingers - are gentle, delicate things that need sweet love and affection (and heated rubdowns) after extensive sessions of minotaur killin'.
If you've been enjoying the same stress I have and need some respite, I'd like to offer some suggestions on how you can allow the healing to take place without excessive exacerbation of the wristal area...some things to do without use of the hands:
1 - Take a walk
That fresh air/sunshine thing is NOT over-rated. Requires only the feet and legs be particularly viable.
2 - Smooch
Requires a partner and working lips. And your partner will probably appreciate you not using your hands anyway.
3 - Renew Your Love For The Classics
Watching a DVD does not require much movement. Especially if someone else has the remote.
4 - Sleepy Time
Napping never hurt anyone. Kind of like taking a walk, only internalized.
5 - Discover What That American Idiot Hubbub Is All About
Listen to some music. Green Day is not required, but recommended. Especially if you're tired of all the Wagner, Radiohead and Erykah Badu you've been listening to lately.
6 - Just Don't Gesticulate Too Wildly
Conversation is as healthy as a good walk, and often makes you seem intelligent and thoughtful. Of course, again, partners are recommended.
7 - Practice Your Standup Act
You heard me.
8 - Be Like The Guy In The Sea Inside
Write poems by using a pencil you control with your mouth. Or even better, paint a picture using the same method. Your friends will be fascinated, and you'll still have the ability to move around when you're through.
9 - Call Up An Old Friend
Just use a hands-free device.
10 - Contemplate Your Next Blog
You need to think these things out before you write them down. There's nothing like a blog filled with desperately dashed-off material that isn't very well conceived.
