Yeah, I remember that thread. I can also relate because, as I mentioned in that thread, I am a delivery driver, so I have repetitive motions, stress during busy hours and the need for awareness and smooth movements. It has the potential to be both the best and the worst depending on my current condition. When I am feeling not-so-good I just start thinking about how annoying everything is or how much my body hurts.
It seems that some of the strongest practice circumstances are double-edged swords and one has to be in the right mindset for them to be beneficial.
