There are many times in your life that you may experience the discomfort as a light sprain. Whether you are playing basketball with your friends or dancing an untreated sprain can delay your pain and make your sports harder. Therefore in this article we hope to share more information on how you can help heal any light sprains you might have. The most important thing you can remember is old saying RICE. This saying stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation.
In the first step you will need to rest your foot. It is important to try and take any weight you have off your foot so that it can begin the healing process. Next you will want to ice your ankle or sprained foot. This will prevent any extra swelling that might affect your healing process. You will also notice that it feels a lot better to have an ice pack on. I would recommend simply using a bag of ice wrapped in a cloth over any other icing methods. I have tried ice packs that become instantly cold upon rupture but have always been disappointed. The old traditional ice and a bag are also far more inexpensive. However, if you are camping or away from a place you can get ice you will want to use one of the instant cold packs.
Next you will want to use compression. If you sprained your foot in a shoe be sure to leave it on for a short while so that you can further compress the sprain. The last step in the RICE process is elevation; although this step can be one of the most uncomfortable it is vital. Be sure to elevate your foot slightly above your body. For instance if you are lying down use a small pillow to elevate your foot. This will help the healing process and get you back on your feet.
With these above steps you will be able to heal quickly from and sprains you might have incurred. You will be right back on your feet in no time ready to have fun again.
We may think our wants equal our needs. In other words, that we just have to have a certain pair of shoes or gadget to be happy

Here's an easy way to really get conscious about determining the difference between a need and want.Weighing In is a technique for cutting through the financial fog that envelops so many overshoppers. Weighing In involves the disciplined recording of purchases-and something more. You also categorize each purchase, choosing from a master list that groups expenses into logical bins: Home

nike high heels sneakers, Entertainment, Education, and so on. And you assign each purchase a Necessity Score, based on your dispassionate evaluation of how much you need it. (Need, not want.)
This data is entered into the Daily Weigh-In Form, which I introduced last posting. Here's the form again:Let's focus on the concept of necessity.In the fourth column, you assign each purchase a Necessity Score: 0 if the purchase is totally unnecessary, 1/3 if it's not very necessary, 2/3 if it's pretty necessary, and 1 if it's entirely necessary.There is, of course, a certain subjectivity to assigning necessity scores; the decision will depend to some extent on your psychological awareness, even on your existing debt level and your present and future expenses. But here's a rough guide. If you fell and broke your leg during the week, the check to the orthopedist would be entirely necessary; you'd give that a Necessity Score of 1.
