The last couple of days my lower back was killing me.  I aggravated an old injury in the gym the other day no doubt.  Thankfully my experience as a personal trainer and knowledge of anatomy and proprioception, and knowledge gained from Chiropractic sessions allowed me to correct the problem this morning with some stretching exercises.  But it got me thinking about how everything in our lives and the universe is interconnected.  A concept that I don't think a lot of people understand these days.

I knew my back problem had something to do with the leg workout I did the other day in the gym. My deduction: back was feeling fine before workout, back not feeling good day after workout.  So I surmised this morning that the problem probably was tight hamstrings and hip flexors. (Stay with me here I'm going somewhere with this).  The human body is just like any other structure or machine.  When one piece is out of whack or not operating correctly it puts stress on the other parts.  If the initial problem is not addressed or neglected it will lead to bigger problems elsewhere.

Much like our bodies or cars the economy has parts that are all interconnected too.  Many months ago, in fact about two years ago I was saying to a couple of my buddies who are financial consultants that the Fed needed to start paying attention to what was going on in the housing market.  They're response was that the economy was doing fine and the Fed needed to worry more about inflation than the housing market.  They refuted my arguments that eventually the housing slowdown, slump, meltdown would eventually affect them on Wall St. A prime example of lack of knowledge about connectivity.  Two seemingly different markets, the housing market and the stock market couldn't possibly be intertwined.  But alas they are.  In a BIG way.  By some estimates the housing market comprises about 40% of our national GDP.  As we're seeing now it has a huge affect on the economy AND Wall St.

Had the Fed addressed the problem when it was small (the equivalent of stretching out the hamstrings and hip flexors) we might not have the HUGE problem (equivalent to reconstructive back surgery) we have now in our economy.

It's all interconnected folks.  Pay attention to the little problems before they become big problems.
