How to help YOUR Lower Back Pain

I find many people today are dealing with Lower Back Pain due to their work conditions and stress.

I create & publish an easy to read, 4 page, Monthly Newsletter titled, Body Business Monthly Newsletter, that includes, but is not limited to, 3 recipes, Q & A section, Everyday Helpful Hints, and Exercises.  For the last 3 months, in Everyday Helpful Hints, I have articles pin-pointing ways to 'save' your back.  This month in Body Business's Exercise section, I decided to list, with diagrams, 3 important stretches that should be incorporated everyday into your life to help ease your lower back pain.

In my blog today, I am going to share these exercises with you...

 Please be reminded, that when stretching, you should NEVER stretch to the point of pain!  You may experience slight discomfort due to tight muscles, however, if you experience PAIN, STOP doing the stretch and seek outside medical attention! 

 I strongly advised you to listen to your body, and pay attention to my diagrams I have included.  I am not there to watch you do the stretch, and correct any body positioning, so be aware of what your body is doing.  These stretches are to help create flexibility in your body.

 

 

1. Stretch your Hip Flexors:   :
2. Stretch you Hamstrings:
3. Stretch you Back (Knee-to-Chest):  :     An additional Back Stretch

 

 

Here are important simple stretches that you can do Everyday at your desk.

Needing Some Motivation

Do you wake up in the morning regretting the day and not looking forward to it?  Do you go to bed everyday tired & drained?  Are you stressed all the time?  Do you wish you could just get in your car and drive, never looking back?  ARE YOU FED UP AND NOT LIKING YOUR LIFE? 

Sounds like you "NEED SOME MOTIVATION"

Follow these 5 simple tips EVERYDAY.  By the end of the week, I want you to notice how much better you feel and how much brighter your life has become....

1. When you wake up in the morning, I want you to image 5 things you would like to see happen in your life.  Simple RULE:  You have to feel it with all your heart and do it EVERYDAY
2. Now write them down.
3. RELAX & Learn to BREATHE deeply, EVERYDAY.  When you feel yourself becoming stressed & tensed, tune into this.  Simple RULE:  Take a deep breath in through your nose, and out through your mouth. Do this 5 times.
4. Make time for yourself EVERYDAY.  It only takes 30 min./day.  Simple RULE:  Do something you love; go for a walk, close your eyes & listen to the sounds around you, exercise, put on music, paint, read a book, journal.  If you didn't get it the first time, DO SOMETHING YOU LOVE FOR 30 min. EVERYDAY.
5. Set yourself 5 goals that you would like to see happen over the next year.  Think about it.  These are important life goals.  No, getting the laundry and dishes done doesn't count!  Write down these 5 goals and place the list somewhere you will look everyday; on your bathroom mirror, on your fridge, on your car dashboard.  Simple RULE:  You look and read it EVERYDAY.  When you take a baby step to get you closer to this goal-write it down where you will see it EVERYDAY.   

  
  Now, how are you going to end your day?  Before you close your eyes and go to sleep...

I want you to be THANK-FUL for all the wonderful things in your life.
