Why Do You Need A Goal Setting Worksheet?

Charlie Chaplin Hollywood

Do you recognize your greatness?

Erica Jong, an American author and teacher said,

“Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place it leads.”

I’m not exactly sure what she means by that, but I have an idea.

What’s your passion?  Have you found something that drives you past your normal limits?  Something that makes the hours seem like minutes?  When you live with purpose you are possessed with drive and inspiration that will definitely push you past your limits towards your full potential!

When you set goals and work towards achieving them, you access your ideals.  When that conflicts with what you see in your life now …

it causes all those limiting beliefs that are holding you back to rise to the surface.

  • Do you believe that you have it in you to succeed in life?
  • Do you believe it is within your power to beat heart disease?
  • Do you believe you can survive grief and loss?
  • Can you finally lose weight even though you have tried a thousand times?
  • Is physical fitness still within your grasp? Can you enjoy playing with your grand-children?
  • Will you leave a legacy when you are gone?
  • Do you believe you deserve happiness?

Realizing your greatness starts by setting goals and gathering with like minded people to over come obstacles.  The secret is Continue reading article →

Exercise With Oxygen Can Help You Kick Ass In the World, Got Oxygen?

Feeling like there is lead in your shoes?

Whether you just want more energy or you are bed ridden wanting to have a life again, exercise with oxygen can benefit you.

Let me tell you about Mr. K, one very charismatic patient I used to care for.

Mr. K used to ‘bout kill himself on his exercise bike.  I’m telling you!  I had to beg the guy to stop.

“Please, don’t harm yourself while I’m here!  At least wait until I leave to fall down dead!”

He was a bit offended by my remarks.  I really didn’t think he would listen to a thing I said.  I was so surprised when the next time I saw him, he was my biggest fan!

“You were right, sistah!” he said.  “Now I just take it easy and watch tv with plenty oxygen, it’s easy, I can go and go!  I don’t feel tired anymore.  I always thought I had to push myself.  Now I see that slow and steady wins the race, as long as I use plenty oxygen.”

Mr. K would have made even more progress, if he wasn’t so damned proud.  He needed oxygen whenever he walked any distance.  I’m sure the Wal Mart parking lot must have been an effort.  I used to see him in there, gasping for air and leaning on his cart.

“Where the hell is your oxygen, Mr. K?”

Of course, the answer, “In the car, I’ll be alright!”

Dog gone it, he would have been with us longer if he would have recognized his needs, used portable oxygen, and got past his pride.

I encourage you, don’t be proud, LIVE and love your life.

You don’t have to be sick like Mr. K to benefit from Exercise With Oxygen Therapy. 

A few minutes of activity everyday can really benefit you, IF you are well oxygenated.

It WILL rock your world and give you the kick start you need without harmful stimulants.

If My Doctor Says I No Longer Need Oxygen, Do I Need a Second Opinion?

Portable oxygen
A critical care unit is a good place to learn about the importance of oxygen. 

You will find out in a quick hurry how closely they watch oxygen levels.

The sicker you are, the more closely the doctors and nurses and respiratory therapists will monitor your oxygen levels.

In a home care setting, oxygen is just as important to the quality of your life.

In critical care, we are trying to save your life.

In a home setting, oxygen often feels like a handicap.  You feel like you are on a leash and it feels like a crutch, rather than the valuable health building tool that it is.

You and your family will likely grow tired of the tanks and tripping over the tubing, not to mention the growing electric bill.

Everyone is overjoyed to hear that they no longer need oxygen!

 

Hold on a moment before you give up that supply of oxygen!

“What?  Doesn’t my doctor know what’s best for me?”

He/she wouldn’t take you off of oxygen if you still needed it.

“Would he/she?”

Well, I’m sure he/she wouldn’t take you off oxygen, if he/she THOUGHT you needed it.

Certainly, we can agree on that.

The challenge is that your doctor may miss your need for oxygen all together! Continue reading article →
