Rolling on the Floor & Feeling Better

Like a Child I Rolled on the Floor

Sometimes it’Äôs the little changes that make the biggest difference in our life. For example recently after numerous suggestions I gave the nose thing a try, the thing you paste on you nose that helps keep your nose channel open so the air can flow better and thus make you feel better. Well guess what it works great and what a difference it makes in my life. So I’Äôm starting to believe that little things make the biggest difference in our life.

I Learned by Watching

For example three weeks ago I was lying on the floor with my second youngest grand child Brayden. He’Äôs not walking yet but he manages to get from one spot to another by rolling, crawling and jumping up and down. While playing with him I rolled around on the floor like he was and noticed that at one point of doing this my back cracked ever so slightly and I felt better. Since then numerous times daily I start by laying on my back and then roll one complete turn to the right and then repeat the same rolling in the other direction. And every time I’Äôve noticed a slight cracking sound while doing this rolling stuff. And believe it or not I feel a lot better since I’Äôve been doing this rolling stuff.

Self Help

Its like going to the chiropractor but this doesn’Äôt cost me anything to do it. I used to hear my Dad talking about his Father who had to lay on a mattress with a flat board under it and this helped him from having backaches. It like rolling on the floor is simple to do and yet gave my Grandfather the ability to deal with back pains. My Grand Father didn’Äôt have the options back then that we have today. But the process was simple and the results were positive.

Lie & Feel Better

Now rolling on the floor may not work for you, but what do you have to loose? Noting except the joy of feeling better then you usually do. So lie on the floor and roll back and forth. And Ill bet you feel better for doing it. And isn’Äôt feeling better the main goal in your life? So live better and roll on. That’Äôs my story and rolling works for me.
