Exploring the "Should's": Is it Necessity, Desire, or Guilt?Written by ADD Management Coach Jennifer Koretsky
How many times a day do you find yourself using word "should"? ADDers are full of "should's": I should do dishes, I should clean out fridge, I should see that movie, I should call my friend, etc. The word "should" can be very dangerous to an adult with ADD, because it often results in guilt. In order to break through this and help you prioritize things that you "should" do, try exploring your "should's" by asking yourself following question: Is this a necessity, a desire, or guilt? Here are some examples: I should do my taxes. Necessity: If you don't do your taxes, you can find your finances slipping out of control. You can end up owing government penalty fees. And you will absolutely have undue stress. This "should" is a necessity. I should buy that CD. Desire: This is something that you want to make you happy. You like music you hear, and therefore you want to own it. This "should" is a desire. I should clean my house more often.
| | What Is Mesothelioma?Written by Angela Cambourne
Mesothelioma medical name for cancer of pleura (the lining of lung and chest cavity) or cancer of peritoneum (the lining of abdomen). It is usually caused by prolonged or persistent exposure to asbestos. Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until between twenty and fifty years after exposure, which explains why so many new cases of this form of cancer are coming to light now, even though dangers of asbestos were realized long ago and measures taken to reduce risk of disease. As with many forms of cancer, mesothelioma tumor can spread rapidly, often infecting opposite pleura, and continuing on to other internal organs. Symptoms include a shortness of breath, chest pains, coughing, and loss of weight.
