Many years go by, passing so fast when we’re children. Before you know it, you’re done with school. You’re watching your friends get big-person jobs. You go off to school, get yourself a degree and then, you have children or your siblings have children! Next thing you know, you’re surrounded by little people and your parents are grandparents!

These little people, these children look up to you as an adult. You’re the example and you’re the person they are going to come to when they are in trouble. You are the ones who are going to help them with homework or seek guidance when they are unsure of what to do next.

They’re looking for you to take action. They’re looking to mimic you and your decision-making process. It’s like a mini-”you” running around, even their genetics are similar to yours! All the while, you’re busy making memories and try to make them last forever and your experience is utilized to its fullest extent. What’s truly endearing is you pouring your heart and soul into every waking moment taking care of that child. The blood, the sweat and the tears overflow. And all you know, all you care about is seeing your child smile and experiencing joy. It’s pure pleasure knowing you’re giving the best life to that child and you’ll receive the reward you’ve been waiting for. All your life, you’ve wanted to pour your love into something that would build a solid foundation for your own family. It’s your legacy. It’s your soul, your spirit and it’s life-giving. How beautiful is the gift of dreams coming true and nothing comparing because you’re whole?

Now, imagine there was a health scare that you couldn’t see coming. I know you’ve wanted to spend the rest of your life seeing your children live healthy lives, raising their own children. Seeing their children go to school and graduate. Celebrating their successes with them.

What’s scary is there’s a real fear of danger of a system that is designed to put yourself against you, your family and is out to destroy your family’s whole foundation of values that were built on the very nature of hard work, dedication, steadfast and swift decision-making that you’re made of.

It’s not your fault that trillions of dollars have been poured into this very system that is trying to undermine and steal your health away so that you only rely on them and “their cures” for your every turn in life. It’s not that they are the only going after you. They’re going to go after your kids and after that, they’ll go after your kids’ kids. And so on… And they won’t stop until they’ve milked out every penny and taken every valuable thing they can from you and used it to feed their own. They operate through the medicine, through the fast food, the pharmaceutical and other “big” industries are all working together to hide the fact that they are taking advantage of you and your loved ones. Trillions of dollars going into lobbying politicians, making laws that favor their businesses and corporations affecting you and your family’s health and longevity. Meanwhile, you have to take care of your family and work at a job where your mobility is limited, you’re sitting at a desk for more than what is natural to the human body, your diet is out of whack and you’re stressed out all the time. Why is this the new normal?

Life is not to meant to be lived this way. Fortunately, there is an easy remedy to all this that I think you would be surprised about, especially as an individual or maybe even because you’re the only provider for your family.

One of the easiest ways to claim your power is by ensuring you’re in the best shape you can be in by foam rolling or “self-massage”. Keeping your muscles and tissues supple and well-nourished by receiving massage which is a huge part of being your best you! Along with eating healthy food and exercising, the way to keeping your family together starts with you and your own health. Staying healthy by being aware of things that can help increase your blood and lymph circulation in your body, making sure your muscle tissue has a good balance of strength and flexibility are all part of living a healthy life for your family. What’s great is when your children see you being happy and healthy and foam rolling, they’ll want to emulate you! This is the best outcome you can wish for!

Foam rolling is a fantastic way to get the biggest “bang for your buck” and spending as little as ten minutes a couple days of the week can help you start recognizing areas of your body that are too stiff, tense or need to be strengthened. After all, tense muscles are stressed muscles! The goal is to elongate those muscles by foam rolling. After you recognize which areas are tense, you can learn how to effectively release tension stored in your body so that you can really enjoy the time you have with your family tension-free. Being healthier is going to help support you and your family’s goals by helping you get in touch and releasing that stress. Building a resilience that can help carry you on to your later years with grace. These benefits will help you set an example for your children and grandchildren! One of these ways to learn is by joining the Foam Rolling Secrets group on Facebook to watch free How-To videos with Brenden. Feel free to send him your email address for a free e-book, a 7 day course workbook that will help you design your own session called the “Ultimate Spa Experience”. How much fun you’ll have helping discover your own inner zen and using pain to your advantage!
