* Three fast steps to change your Blood Pressure * The good news is that if your blood pressure is too high, you can lower it yourself. No medication and no cost needed (to start with)! 1. Exercise helps to improve your blood pressure. The recommended amount is (at least) 30 min, five days a week. Gentle exercise is fine to start with. Just enough to raise your pulse a little. You don't have to be a gym-rat to achieve this! (Get www.TheHighwayToHealth.com for a 'secret' way to exercise.) 2. Changing your diet can help your blood pressure. If you are overweight, decreasing your weight can help. Changing what, and how much you eat can help too. (www.TheHighwayToHealth.com can help tell if you're overweight.) 3. If you drink alcohol, decreasing amount you drink will improve your blood pressure. (www.TheHighwayToHealth.com tells you how much is too much and how to work it all out.) So now you know what's too high, why it matters and what to do about it. Come on over to http://www.thehighwaytohealth.com/ for full (free) report and grab yourself an eBook that will improve your health, extend your life (probably!) and save you money too.

| | An ADD Case Study: What Does it Mean to "Fail"?Written by ADD Management Coach Jennifer Koretsky
Continued from page 1
"What exactly did you fail at?" I asked. "I got a B," he replied. "I put so much work into that test that I should have got an A." For Josh, it was very easy to look at situation and see failure. He wanted an A. He wanted to prove to himself, his parents, and his professor that he could ace this test. And Josh was so busy holding himself up to unrealistic expectations, that he completely missed his successes: 1. He stuck to structure that we created for him. 2. He developed excellent study habits to prepare for test. 3. He got a B! He answered approximately 80% of questions correctly, when just a month ago he wasn't passing class. I pointed this out to Josh and, although he listened, he only half-heartedly agreed. Then, two days ago, I got this email from Josh: "Dear Jen, I got my philosophy test back today and guess what, I got an A-! I thought about what you said and realized that I have been doing really good studying this semester and I am doing better than I ever have. My dad is so excited about my B and A-. Thanks for pointing it out because sometimes its hard to see good stuff." I agree. Sometimes it is hard to see good stuff - whether you're a student, an artist, an office worker, a business owner, or a parent. When that happens, look harder. Even if you "fail," you'll still learn something about yourself or situation you're in. And if you're learning, then you're really not failing, are you...?
