Recently, I felt a disappointment because I did what I tell everyone not to do.. except what you are unsure of getting. I wanted to write this to my readers to let them know today I became a viticm of this and I need to continue to learn from my own mistakes. And I have! I have to tell you I felt terrible after my disappointment, but what I did not allow was for this negative feeling to last very long. That is the lesson I wish to present to you today. Expectations can lead to disappointments and need recovery plans.
Awareness is going to be the key to help you not last in your negative feelings of disappoints. Become aware of how you feel and if it is an awful, negative, unhealthy feeling then STOP IT! Make yourself become aware of the lesson learned from this experience and move on to something that is much kinder to you. Anything is better than staying in an unhealthy feeling or environment. Choose HAPPINESS instead, it’s the best gift you can give to yourself.
I hope this will help those who find themselves expecting often and not getting fulfilled.
This doesn’t mean we can’t dream and wish and hope… that is what makes life interesting and exciting but when you expect these things to happen that is when it can become a terrible burden and affects your emotional and physical health….
So please be kinder to yourself.

So how are you handling the heat? Are you keeping cool or getting irritable with the heat? Are you hydrating yourself with the proper beverages… water with electrolytes? Exercising out side is still fine, but you need to take all the necessary precautions. You need to maintain your hydration. You need to maintain your sun protection. You need to communicate with others that are with you if you feel that something is wrong with your breathing, getting leg cramps, abdominal cramps, headaches, etc. If you are alone in this heat then pay close attention to your symptoms and know when to stop…. and get out of the heat.
I love doing activities in this weather, but it is still very important to take of all the precaution to prevent Heat Stroke or Heat Exhaustion.
Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke Overview
Heat exhaustion: This is a condition that can occur when people sweat excessivly while exerciseing (work or play) in a hot, humid place and their body fluids are lost causing the body to overheat. This is dangerous if the body temperature elevates to 104 F. Some symptoms are: *Often pale with cool, moist skin*Sweating profusely*Muscle cramps or pains *Feels faint or dizzy *May complain weakness,headaches, thirst and upset stomach/nausea* Increased Pulse.
Heat stroke: This can be a life-threatening medical condition. The person’s cooling system in the brain stops working and the internal body temperature usually reaches 105F or more, where there can be brain damage or damage to other internal organs . Symptoms may be seen as altered mental status, unconsciousness, confusion, hallucinations, dizziness or coma. (yes you can die from this) *Flushed, hot, and dry skin*High blood pressure dropping rapidly* possible hyperventilation.
SO HYDRATE! and Know when to get out of the HEAT!

How to deal with expectation and not get depressed.
By Dr Norma, on May 30th, 2010
In my years of employment, I have treated several veterans in my private practice and while I worked for the Navy. I would like to honor this posting to all present and past military personnel today. I value all that they have experienced in their lives to help us live the way we do. Not until I started treating veterans with PTSD, did I then realize what these military people experienced. When was the last time you sat and talked with someone who was in a war? When was the last time you heard from someone real-time who had to kill someone in order for them the survive in the fields of unknown territories… being shot at from every which direction? When was the last time you heard that person still feel the pain and guilt for having to wound or kill someone in order for themselves to survive? The stories are fascinating and yet we often wait for this special day once a year to honor these individuals. I don’t believe that this day is only to honor those who have lost their lives… but for all those who have served and still do. They did what they needed to do.. they still do… and those who are done with their military careers never feel like they are done… for their memories live on ….. If you are reading this and you are a veteran or active military… I honor your courage and fortitude. If you are reading this and have lost someone from their military service.. I pray for you…If you and family are still suffering from any loss… Take care of yourself… If you are suffering form PTSD… please seek the help you need. Thank You.

There are so many weight loss programs available for people to take advantage of and yet so many people choose to eat potato chips, over indulge on chocolate cakes, and gorge on fried foods just to mention a few… Why do we let ourselves get to such an unhealthy state that by what we eat we have created within ourselves diabetes, hypertension, depression, and on and on….When are we going to say…” Enough!, I need to change my life for the better and get started now! What stops us from making the necessary changes? What are the road blocks?
With my program I will help you first explore by the use of hypnotherapy, what those road blocks are and learn how to control them once and for all. I believe that unless you understand the emotional-intellectual connections about how-and-why you eat…the way you eat… then what you eat will not change.
My program also focuses on building your inner core of ego strength.. to empower you to achieve your goals. The programs also includes designing you a fitness program .. realistically.. one that you believe in and will be willing to follow. And, this program also monitors your eating intake to make sure it is appropriate and is following all the recommended daily requirements to obtain optimum health.
I especially love working with those who have Celiac issues…The food choices are endless though when they are first told they have this gluten allergy they feel like they “can’t eat any goodies” and that is not true..they just need to modify them a little.
Come and get healthy with my Weight Loss Program. Stop the roller coaster ride once and for all with your will power and determination.
Let your mind lead the way.

What do these three concept have in common? How strong is the commitment? How many excuses do you hear yourself say? How much time do you really invest in what it is you say you want to do?
If you don’t feel committed to something that you thought we were committed to, then we will be short with your time and make excuses for not doing what you were committed to do; in the first place.
How often do we place the blame on other’s for not following through with what we sent out to do? Isn’t it easy to put the excuse on someone else?
If you find that you are falling into this trap then take the time to reflect on this and change the pattern…it’s not too late.
Take some deep breaths and recognize that this is happening…now see yourself being respectful to yourself and stop the pattern. See yourself staying committed to what it is you set out to do. Feel proud that you are doing it…. look forward to the continuation of your plan.

I prefer that you move… what do you like to do?How fit are you? What condition is your back? Knees? Hips? Ovaries? Bladder? The heavy the run the more harm you can potential do to these parts of your body and even others.
I suggest that you simple walk and get into power walking… that is walking at a brisk pace with your heart rate beating at your target heart rate for at least 30 minutes. Now that would be an excellent workout on these lovely spring days.
Walking I believe is one the of the best exercises anyone can do whether to aid in fitness or just to relax. Relax as you walk what a concept. Why not?
As you walk think about mediation. What you are viewing as you walk? What are you thinking of as you walk? Take time to think wonderful positive thoughts and enjoy the nature around you. Let your mind enjoy the relaxing exercise as well as your body.
How to figure out your target heart rate range:
Take the number 220
now minus your age
now multiple that number by .60 and by .80
This will be your target heart rate range.
Example. 220-50(age)=170
170 X .60=102 170 X .80=136
This person’s target heart rate range to walk (cardio vacscualar exercies for 30 minutes) is 102-136. Take your pulse before you start walking and 10 minutes into your walk to make sure after your warm-up you are reaching your target heart rate range. Walk in this range for 30 minutes, periodically taking your pulse. Then upon your cool down as you are ending your walk take your pulse every 10 minutes to make sure heart rate is returning back to normal.
Enjoy your walks.
