You write:
>> I must have over 20 different suggestions of exercises and ideas to try.>>

Actually, I should rewrite the reference I'm about to post, as the first three sections, about metaphors in general, tend to put people off, and I think I'd actually write it better today.

There's another metaphor, too, in the final part of:

(You have to read the article to make sense of that:-)
