Learn to Get Up from the Floor Safely. Herman’s attempts. Euclid Chiropractic patient.

Rev. Herman is my blind videographer (I know not the best choice) who scared me today.
As you can see, his move to getting up takes a little practice.

Here are the steps:
1. However you end up on the ground, get to a seated position.
2. Rest one leg on the floor and slightly bend the same knee.
3. Bring the other foot behind you, so that knee is rest on the floor.
4. Lean forward, putting both palms in front of you.
5. Bring your front leg behind you, so you end on both knees.
6. Bring your knees close to your chest.
7. In one move shift your weight from your hands to your feet and stand up.

Herman (the ballerina he is) did steps 5-7 in one move.
Not recommended!

These steps require good balance and leg strength.
Start next to steady table or chair, progress next to a wall, then in the center of the room to avoid injury.

Use this exercise to improve your leg strength and balance:

Lower Stress/Relax. How to Practice Mindfulness with Michelle at Upland Cucamonga Chiropractor

There are many ways to relax.  Exercise, music, mediation to name a few.

To help our bodies and mind relax before or after a stressful day, practicing mindfulness like Michelle demonstrates today can take you less than five minutes.

Step one: find a quiet place. Prevent yourself from me distracted from your phone, TV or people around you.

Step two: place your body in relaxed position.  Here Michelle is sitting up with legs crossed.  Other examples are lying flat on your back, or reclining in a seat.

Step three: Start rhythmic deep breathing. Begin by inhaling deeply through your nose; then hold for 1-3 seconds. Exhale completely through your mouth.  Repeat this 4-5 times until you feel your mind and body relax.

Step four: start moving your neck in each direction when you inhale, then return to your relaxed upon exhalation.

From our previous talk with Dr. Louise Kelly, practicing this type mindfulness is most effective when done daily, even for just two to five minutes.

Then starting or ending your day in a relaxed state helps your body tolerate the stressors of our everyday life.

This will lower your risk of health conditions caused by stress.

Watch Michelle’s “Thoughtful Thursday” videos on Facebook to learn more about Mindfulness and stress relief.
