Modern Methods in the Fight Against Excess Weight

Learning to become a strong self-advocate is crucial to living well with a chronic illness. Self-advocacy involves taking a more active role in managing your illness and fighting for your health and your needs. The reality is that no one understands your symptoms and your needs as much as you do, so it’s important to take the steps and the actions that will get you the most improvement in your quality of life and the best care possible. This may involve doing research, preparing and asking questions, tracking symptoms, making a care plan, getting second opinions, building a support system, requesting accommodations, etc. While this does take a considerable amount of energy, part of self-advocacy can also involve assembling a dependable team of friends and/or family members who can help you and support you along the way!

Happiness oftentimes seems like an elusive concept, one that is hard to understand and even a bit abstract. In one moment, we may believe we have finally obtained it, only to see it slip away, so what is happiness exactly?Happy is defined by the dictionary as “feeling or showing pleasure or contentment.” Oftentimes, we look at happiness as though it’s a destination, as though we are on a journey and once we reach happiness, we will stay there as long as we like. But happiness is much more complex than that.Happiness is not a permanent place in which we can live forever.

Finding relief from the widespread pain and discomfort associated with endometriosis can be, well… a crapshoot. Because each individual experiences unique combinations of symptoms at different times which appear to be triggered by seemingly random things, finding what works often involves trial and error. And relief may involve a combination of both medical and nonmedical interventions in various combinations which can make the consultation process combative at times, pitting medical practitioners at odds with more holistic integrative approaches.

boost your productivity for a better balance?”, the answer is a definite yes.I think you would agree with me that everything seems to work a little better when done in moderation, whether that is sleep, body movement, diet, or other things. If we sleep too much, we are more tired and less motivated. So, I think you see now how important it is to create and maintain balance in all areas. This also includes our work. We all have seven days a week. It would make sense to work three or five days to have a balance between work and rest. So, why it has been standardized to work five and only rest for two? And what does that have to do with our productivity?If we’re looking at the countries that according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development are the most productive and those that are not, we can see a direct correlation between working hours. While Norway, Denmark, and Germany, on average, work around 27 hours a week, Japan and Mexico, nations that are known for overworked employees, rank as least productive while filling longer hours.The fundamental goal of a 4-day workweek is to improve workers’ quality of life.

December 2016: The holiday season was in full swing. I was busy wrapping gifts for our young girls, baking cookies, doing holiday and year-end activities at work, all the usual things.
