Systems are for Winners
Every year, so many people set these goals and resolutions only to miss the mark or fail to reach them. It might take a few days, a few weeks, or even a month or two, but the majority of people will backslide and stop going after the goal they set. Or maybe they achieve it, and then what? They flounder and start to gain back (weight/bad attitude/whatever).
![Golf is Painful, and Not Just to Watch](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c74c37f755be24da9cefb09/1736373799442-DHRR0CI3VBAT7N7FLN2F/taj-taj-acupuncture-saint-augustine-florida-blog-golf-is-painful-graphic.png)
Golf is Painful, and Not Just to Watch
Alright, while it might bore me (and others) to sleep while watching it (but I am not a good judge, cause I don’t like watching any sports), golf as we know it has become a huge sport. It’s also one of the biggest sports that many like to say isn’t a “real” sport.
![Myofascial Pain vs Fibromyalgia](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c74c37f755be24da9cefb09/1736373427149-UYEO1BX63TRJEBMAT68E/taj-taj-acupuncture-saint-augustine-florida-blog-chronic-pain-is-the-worst-graphic.png)
Myofascial Pain vs Fibromyalgia
Ugh. Having chronic pain is the worst. However, having chronic pain and not knowing what it is can be even harder to deal with. The two leading conditions for chronic pain? Fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome. Both of these conditions are extremely similar, so how can you tell the difference?
![Self Care is a Necessity](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c74c37f755be24da9cefb09/1736373147817-6MRZBPCR3M77O396DP2Q/taj-taj-acupuncture-saint-augustine-florida-blog-self-care-is-a-necessity-graphic.png)
Self Care is a Necessity
Ok, let’s clear something up real quick: today’s definition of self care is bullshit. Yes, you read that right. Today, self care is seen as selfish or as a luxury, and that’s what I have a real problem with. To me, self care should be a necessity. How can you function if you’re not even taking care of yourself properly?

What the Hell is Fascia, Anyway?
If you’ve been checking out my social media, you’ve probably seen my posts about fascia work. I like to crack jokes about it, but in reality, it’s totally necessary to get that ‘ish’ worked on. For those of you who are new to me and what I do, I’m a massage therapist and acupuncturist that focuses on whole body wellness (and the occasional torture session).
![Yeah, Just Don't Get a Tongue Piercing](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c74c37f755be24da9cefb09/1736372562634-UIS0WEH8CVFS8GOOBH3P/taj-taj-acupuncture-saint-augustine-florida-blog-dont-get-a-tongue-piercing-graphic.png)
Yeah, Just Don't Get a Tongue Piercing
So remember that post I did about piercings? The one that pretty much said that piercings can seriously impact your body? Yeah, so it turns out, there’s one piercing you DEFINITELY don’t want to get. But which one takes the cake? Tongue piercings.
