Finally Relieve Your Pain Without Leaving Your Chair By Trying THIS!


Ihave often been told that pain is just a part of life. Some days I find this to be true.
Pain relief specialist Dr. Nicolas Campos writes, “I have come to learn the enormous benefits of stretching for health. A regular stretching routine can not only relieve pain, but it can prevent pain from becoming cyclic.” When I read that stretching can help to relieve and prevent pain, I thought, “Of course it can, but who has the time?”
I can’t squeeze a yoga class into my schedule every day. And if my back hurts at work I can’t exactly sprawl out on the floor and start stretching. So when I saw these amazingly simple stretches that I could do from the comfort of my seat, I knew I’d be trying them right away.
While these stretches would never take the place of medical advice from a doctor, I will definitely be giving them a shot. Whether I’m at home, at work, or sitting on a park bench, I can do these extremely easy stretches to help relieve whatever part of my body is aching!
Special thanks to Maya Borenstein for these amazing images.
Make sure to scroll through until you find the area of your body where you are experiencing pain. And please SHARE if you find these amazingly simple seated stretches as helpful as I do.

Kevin O'Leary Investing Methology

Kevin O’leary is a multi millionaire and founder of O’leary Financial Group. His method of investing encompass wealth preservation and value yield investing.
Never invest in a security that doesn’t pay you dividend and never spend your principal, only the interest. Trends doesn’t concern him. Every single stock that makes up his portfolio pays a dividend(except gold). No matter how good a stock is, if it doesn’t pay dividend, he will not be interested. Sell into strength, buy into weakness and always make sure it is maintained at 5%. Be discipline in maintaining “no more than 5% weighting in any stock and no more than 20% weighting in any sector" Which means he doesn't exceed 5% holding of any stock, even those favored by him. Within a sector, he does not exceed 20% holdings combined within it. It is his way of diversification. This means his portfolio is evenly spread out and not sector heavy. He said this method of his has saved him many times before.

Real reason why your running shoes have those extra holes

Remember to put the glass down




How heavy is this glass of water? The answer will surprise you.

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."

Remember to put the glass down.
