Healthy Small Steps

Often times people will say things like, “your lucky” or “you get all the breaks”. When in reality there’s no such thing as luck or breaks. Ask any actor and they will tell you of the endless practice sessions and stand in parts that they did before they became famous. The same is true for your health. It doesn’t just go bad, or good for that matter, 5 here are millions of choices that a person makes day in and day out, year in and year out that added up to diabetes or that sudden heart attack. When in reality these heath crises have been building up for years. So what do you do about prevention? Consider one meal at a time.

Maybe lunch will be the best place to start. The challenge with lunch is the desire to eating out, usually at a fast food place . The solution is to eat at a healthy fast food place like Ethioxpressgrill.com. Like with any fast food place you will need to choose fruits,and vegetables and lean meats. That’s simple at Ethioxpressgrill.com.

Next, consider the drink you will have. Most drink soda so Consider changing that to water or tea. Water will help remove the toxins from your body and tea is flavored water.

Desserts are also a major challenge and it is easily handled with substituting sugar filled desserts with things your body already knows how to handle like fruits. Most are filling and if prepared properly can help prevent cancers.

Consider too that if changes are hard for you, modify one thing at a time until it becomes a habit and then add another to it. It’s truly that simple, you just need to make up your mind and do it!

4 Reasons You Need A New Roof

Roofs are one of the most underestimated and overlooked things about a house. If you were going out for a fine evening dinner and you are a lady, you wouldn’t go out without putting making up and brushing your hair. After all, you want to look your best from the chin up. The same is true for men and their hair, beard or mustache if appropriate, so why is it that we give little consideration for the roofs in our home? In the following few paragraphs, you will find multiple reasons why you should consider getting a new roof for your home.

Home Appearance! When you remodel or redesign it, the one thing that you should never overlook is the style and type of roof you have. It is the finishing touch on the appearance of the house and it gives needed protection during the blistering sun of summer and the down poor and snow of winter. Giving your home that perfect touch takes time, skill and knowledge, which is why Perry Roofing is in business to assist you. Making sure whats right for you is what you need.

Broken! If your roof is broken and you’ve had leaks, you need to look at getting it fixed as soon as you can. Winter is coming upon us extremely fast, ask those in hurricane country! What that means to you, is getting it done before it’s too late and you have to suffer the consequences of waiting too long.

It’s OLD! Sometimes if a roof is old, it doesn’t leak, but it needs a facelift. Like with remodeling, sometimes you just want to give your home a new appear and changing the roof is a good way to do that. It’s no different than if you were going to do a new paint job on the house. It’s a good change that will give the home some pizzazz and allow you the comfort of knowing you added value to your home at the same time.

Adding value! Adding value to your home can be done because you want to sell it or just because you want to. It doesn’t really matter what your reason is when you change your roof you’re going to make a major improvement on your home. Consider that if you don’t change the roof and there is an issue, you’re actually wasting your money with all of the other changes that you’re doing. Do first things first and in this case, that’s changing your roof!

It’s not that it’s hard to get it done, but like most anything you need to shop around. Find the company that has experience and expertise. It’s something that if you do it right the first time, it will be years before you have to do it again. But if you make a bad choice, you will be paying for it for a long time as well.

Grief

Grief comes in all size shapes and forms. Some forms of grief are ‘minor’, meaning that if you don’t get the chocolate that you wanted you might be sad, but your world won’t be altered for every. That’s not the point of the discussion here, but rather those events that bring into your life a new normal! A new normal! I first heard this term back in the 1990’s. As I recall it was on a talk show. It was when someone had lost a child. The thing all parents fear. The person having the discussion told the woman that she now had ‘a new normal’.

A new normal is at the heart of grief. It’s when something has so taken place in your life that it can not possibly ever be the same. It’s one of those events that mark your life forever and ever and you have to learn to live with that event. For example, finding out that you have a physical disorder such as cancer rushes into your life a new normal. It means that you are going to have to learn to live with things being different from that point forward. Everything from loss of hair to how you now have to eat has ‘suddenly’ changed. That’s your new normal. It’s what you now have to face every day of your life for the rest of your life!

It means that you’re going to have to grieve all those things that you now have to face. With cancer, it can be the loss of your hair. Every week when you have a treatment you may be concerned if you’re hair is going to fall out more and more. You may also for the first time become concerned if your children are going to have to face cancer in the future. What are you going to eat? Will you be alive to see your children grow up? These are some of the things that you have to address with your new normal. And yes, part of addressing these issues is grief. The grief of the loss of not having to worry about what you’re going to feel like in the morning. And if your diagnosis is terminal, the grief of all the events you’re going to be missing out on!

Another new normal can occur if you have the sudden loss of a loved one. This is especially true if you have lost a child, as discussed in the movie Courageous! The daughter was killed by a drunk driver and the family had to learn how to survive without their youngest child. The loss of a child is a gut wrenching pain that far too many people have had to experience. And of those far too many have tried to walk that loss by themselves. The murder of Adam Walsh, shows us a different type of loss. The young boy Adam was murdered caused the parents to split. Only they know all the particulars, but it was clear that they weren’t able to handle the new normal of a child being murdered. Something that only those that have lost a child in this brutal way can even begin to empathise with!

Sometimes if it’s a new normal that’s too big for you to handle yourself, consider that you can reach out and get help from a professional counselor. This can mean anything from a pastor to a psychiatrist. This type of pain can be so overwhelmingly debilitating that they only way you can make it through it, is by going to a skilled professional. It’s not that you can’t do it yourself, it’s just some time with the bigger things, it’s nice to have someone that can help you through it with the skill of a trained professional.

If you’re facing a new normal, get help if you need it. It’s not a sign of weakness, it’s actually a sign of strength to know when you’ve reached the boundaries of what you know how to do and how to handle things.
