It's definitely an emotional and physical challenge to deal with a disability. The effort can leave you feeling as if you need more air.

But some heroes among us face their challenges with class.

Study this news item and consider how YOU can face your challenges in emotionally satisfying ways.

An estimated 650 million people have a disability.
Some of them use the creative arts to create 

a life worth living rather than wallowing in despair.

Adversity can serve as a tool for gaining insight and more.

LOOK at these artists creating breath-taking, inspirational works

by using their mouths and feet, etc.

More and more people are confiding in me that they've failed to keep their new year's resoltuions for even one week. They're hurting, You might be, too.

Lower Your Fear (and chances!) of Catching a Cold 1-2-3!

WOW: Hospitals worldwide run out of flu treatment options here, here, and here! It's a global phenom!

Winter weather makes life inconvenient as it is, but catching a cold or flu seems to leave you feeling worse inside and out.

Read How to Prevent the Common Cold.  The information can minimize your chances of catching a flu, too. I hope that you'll follow the instructions and feel better long after.

Er, I recommend the use of cotton handkerchiefs to prevent chapped lips and noses. Paper tissues tend to be rough. They're made from wood fiber, after ll.

For what it's worth, the doctors who cared for me during that December shingles attack (pure misery) predicted that I would need until late February to recover vigor. I beat their timing by two months. 

I've  been back to my usual physical activities and exercise regimen since the start of January. I highly recommend that you go organic and support your health from the cellular level outward. My organic diet and intentional optimism beat medical predictions again and again.

And yes, I wash my hands often, using soap and water. That "anti-bacterial" goo doesn't seem to work much.

Making 2018 Better than Before: Getting What You Give

I came across a simple line of thought that presents our human frailty and magnificent potential in only a few words.

Please ponder the meaning of 

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and shoves you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee?

"Well because someone bumped into me, of course!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because coffee was in the cup.

If tea had been in it, you would have spilled tea.

Whatever is inside the cup is what will come out.

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which will happen),

whatever is inside of you will come out.

It's easy to fake it until you get rattled.

So we have to ask ourselves....what's in my cup?

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?

Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and actions?

*You choose!*

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation to yourself and others, kindness, gentleness, and love...

Fill your cup and your mind with soothing ideas and helpful information.

2017 came and went, 2018 arrived and some of us are thinking "So (blankety-bank) what?!"

At this time of year, when people are mourning and regretting their lives and choices so far, it can be quite invigorating to meet up with an energizing idea.

I hope that you'll enjoy this one:  5 Rules for Life.

When Online Life and/or Games Interfere with Real Life

B'SD

13 Tevet, 5778

You've surely noticed that I've been blogging less than usual this past year. It's a result of my concern that some people are online too long and too often, neglecting the richness of real time life and actual interactions with the people sharing your air space.

There's genuine value in enjoying fresh air, exercise, sunshine, and live social interactions rather than stultifying (boring, irritating, tedious, absurd, take your pick - whatever applies) online activity. But some of us spend a harmful amount of time and effort in viewing or commenting on too much input.

"Social media" is a misnomer. As Miss Manners indicates, "sharing is about teaching little ones about giving access to toys" and to other favored things or people. But online life seems to an "All about me" mindset as people bombard each other with unrequested photos of food, pets and other non-essentials. Recipients tying to keep up with the overload lose track of their obligations to themselves and to other people.

There's another aspect to online life that's causing concern to professionals in the medical and mental health world. I shared an FYI about that via facebook:

Yocheved Golani In 2018 the World Health Organization will be updating their mental health conditions to include "gaming disorder" to their International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10 medical coding for research and insurance reimbursement purposes, in which I'm certified). 

The definition of the problem will be categorized as playing video games for an unhealthy amount of time and that the game-playing person, plus observers watching the game player, being convinced that they cannot stop. Self-control will be the core issue, and the mindset which damaged/destroyed it. See this article on Mashable: http://on.mash.to/2E89imY" 

Speak with a competent mental health professional about how to help [someone whose life has been disrupted with the problem].Manage

World Health Organization will recognize video game addiction in 2018

Gaming disorder is similar to other addictions.

The DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) will surely be updated with relevant information, too. 

Please read and re-read that facebook message. You probably know someone who needs relevant help. You might be able to help them to get it just by knowing that such help exists.

Quiet contemplation sans keyboards and monitors is an important part of a goal-directed and satisfying life.
