Know that YOU MATTER!

According to palliative nurse and death counselor, Bonnie Ware, the top regret expressed by people who are dying is “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.” This regret is an important reminder – it can change not only the way we die but the way we live. 

Even if not everyone has recognized it, you make a positive difference in the world. Your positive self regard may feel stronger at some times than others, but even the smallest seed of love is valuable because it can grow. - Tiny Buddha

Find someone that needs a smile, and give them that smile, once a day for the rest of your life and like a ripple in a pond it will be carried onwards. -  SoulLife Searcher

Be kind to others. In this busy world people become self consumed and forget that kindness goes a long way. - Ana Stuckart

“Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:

- I shall not fear anyone on Earth. 
- I shall fear only God. 
- I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. 
- I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. 
- I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.” 
― Mahatma Gandhi

 

Back Pain Relief - The 5 minute Stretch Routine.

Wow, it's been a long spell since I posted anything in my blog. Real Life took over big time...and I guess I was busy with my other private blogs and personal issues. Anyway, today is all about pain...back pain specifically. I realise so many of us are going through this daily...and what got me into researching deep into it was the fact that my youngest daughter was diagnosed with Sciatica. She suffers so badly from it on a daily basis and she is only 18! It is just so unnatural for someone so young as herself to go through such but I have learned that MANY of our young ones suffer from it. It makes me wonder if it could be because of their overly heavy school bags or too long hours at the computer?

While researching through many medical sites and articles ...I stumbled across one particular site which really got my attention because it made a lot of sense and had a lot of good information and tips. I would like to share this site with all you people out there who suffer from back pain. You may want to like the Facebook fanpage because it offers a lot of good tips for an improved and quality life for those who suffer from pain.

I will from time to time post some of their articles in my blog to educate and create awareness about this  issue of pain....and today is about how stretching a few minutes a day can help ease the pain in your back. 


The 5 minute Stretch Routine.

Back pain is a leading cause of disability and missed days at work.

But there are many times when you simply have to push through the pain and get the job done, right?

That’s why today I want to share a quick office stretch break routine with you including specific stretching exercises that’ll loosen up tight muscles… relieve existing pain… and prevent an existing back pain problem from getting worse.

Follow along with me in today’s short video where I show you exercises you can use to stretch and strengthen your lower back, biceps, triceps, and mid-section right at your desk.

These will help you overcome many of the common office worker pain complaints I hear about on a regular basis. Even though I take about 5 minutes to show you all the exercises, even a minute or two stretching several times a day can make a huge difference in your back pain while working a desk job.
