Exploring the "Should's": Is it Necessity, Desire, or Guilt?Written by ADD Management Coach Jennifer Koretsky
Continued from page 1
Guilt: If "should" comes when you compare yourself to others, then guilt is probably involved. It often happens when we feel like we are not living up to performance or expectations of others (or our perceived performance/expectations of others.) If you visit a friend's house and its neat and clean, you may falsely interpret this to mean that your friend cleans all time. In reality, your friend may have spent hours cleaning her/his house before you arrived to make it look nice! If you are physically and mentally comfortable with amount of time you spend cleaning your house, then cleaning more often is not a necessity, it's not a desire, its a "should" that is just useless guilt! Try this exercise for a whole day. Every time you find yourself using word "should," ask yourself if its a necessity, desire, or guilt. I promise that you'll feel a lot a better about all things you think you "should" be doing!

Testing can be carried out initially by X-Ray, with a Thoric CT and open lung biopsy being used to confirm findings of early tests. If it is diagnosed early enough, tumor can be surgically removed, and with follow-up chemotherapy and radiation treatment, full recovery is often possible. However, in more advanced cases, cure is usually not possible. In such cases, chemotherapy and radiation treatment can be used alongside other pain relief treatments, to ease symptoms. Where cure is not possible, average survival time is between four and eighteen months, depending on stage of tumor and general health of patient.
