Think...........





Life —


it's what we do between the time we get here and
when we go.
We
Only get one, and despite what other folks
might suppose, it's ours to
Determine what to do with it.


We don't measure life in hours and minutes.
We measure life in
Memories and moments.

The Top 10 Ways to Start Living Your Life



By: Liz Strauss
Life either happens to us, or we take hold of life and live it.
Here
Are 10 Ways to get a life and start living it.



1. Give yourself permission to claim your life.
That's right —Permission. You're the only one who can decide you are in charge ofYour life. Even though it feels like you're not supposed to do so,


Turn off the internal editors, the old tape recordings, the "should's,Have to's, and musts", and the rules that didn't come from you.




2. Define what living means to you. It's not as hard as it sounds.Just picture yourself at the end of your life looking back. What words Would you want to describe how you lived your life and who you are as
a person?




3. Stop living in the future. Every time you think "someday" or "when
I have time I will," stop.
Ask yourself, "Why not now?"
Think aboutThis sentence, "I always wanted to, but never did."
Start doing the things you always planned to do.
Choose your life every morning.
Plan one thing you will do that day to feel alive.




4. Surround yourself with people who enjoy living. They've obviously discovered how to have a life and live it.
Why not hang with the pros?




5. Lay down your pain and your anger. Carrying them around makes living harder and less fun.
It doesn't bring anything, and it steals a lot.




6. Let the losers win. Don't argue about things that you don't careAbout. Unless there's some real threat, let the folks who haveSomething to prove, prove what they need to. Why waste your livingTime trying to fix what's wrong with them?




7. Create energy. Jump to forgiveness and love, then figure things out.
Most conclusions we jump to are not only wrong, they're negative.Negative conclusions lead us to prepare a defense. Being on the defensive isn't living. It's hiding from life.




8. Learn the physical symptoms of when your head and heart become disconnected. We know when we're having a knee jerk reaction, when we're feeling sorry for ourselves, and when we're being blind to people's feelings.
We can remember how it felt physically while we were behaving badly.
Get to know those symptoms, and you can stop the behavior.
Living life will feel a whole lot safer because you won't be in danger of shooting yourself in the foot.




9. Take small risks that push your boundaries in every way. The joy ofLife is packed in learning that matches our skill set. When we stretch just a bit intellectually, physically, emotionally, we grow.
Living is Growing. Even your cells know that.




10. Value and protect the Align Centerpeople and the places you care about. A job isn't a life. It's just a part of one. Let the people you care about come first, and let everyone know that you do.




We come into life with whatever we've got. It's ours to do with. It took me a while to figure that out — that my life isn't just what happens to me, that I could take hold of it.

Friendship VS Love

LIFE IS A MIRROR


When you feel the urge to be critical of someone else,
look
First within yourself.
The weaknesses and shortcomings
you
Perceive in another may very well be pointing to
Improvements you can make in your own life.


Instead of depending on others to change,
or attempting toForce them to do so,
look for positive changes that you canMake.


You'll always have much more success controlling your
Own life than you will have controlling others.


If you wish to live in a positive world,
be a positive
Person.


If you desire peace, then be completely at peace
With yourself.

Life is a mirror that reflects your most authentic self backTo you.
It flows from the inside out.

The values and priorities that you live by will greatly
Influence the world that you live in.


The thoughts and
Feelings you hold most consistently on the inside will
Determine how life unfolds for you on the outside.

Allow peace, love, joy and fulfillment to flow from theInside out.
Make your world the best it can be.

Brain Tumour


Brain tumour

Why brain tumours cause symptoms?

Brain tumours cause symptoms for two reasons. Firstly, because they take up space inside the skull as they grow. Secondly, because of where they are in the brain. There is more information below on the symptoms related to the space brain tumours take up and symptoms related to the position of the tumour in the brain.


The most common symptoms


The most common symptoms of brain tumour people have when they first go to the doctor are headaches and fits. But do remember, brain tumours are rare causes of both headaches and fits. There are much more common reasons for both these symptoms. So if you have either of these, do go to the doctor as soon as possible, but try not to panic or worry too much until you find out more.
Increased pressure in the headAs the skull is made of bone, there is a fixed amount of space for the brain to take up. The growing tumour increases the pressure inside this fixed space. You may hear this called 'raised intracranial pressure' or raised ICP. The increase in pressure causes
Headache
Sickness
Drowsiness

You should go to your doctor if
You are getting very bad headaches
You have started getting headaches, but do not usually do so
You are getting them more and more often
You are getting headaches and sickness togetherAbout 1 in 3 people with a brain tumour first go to their doctor with headaches. A headache caused by a brain tumour tends to be quite bad. But in some people, they can be mild enough to be controlled with paracetamol.

Headaches may last for a long time.

They may be worse first thing in the morning and get better during the day. Anything that increases the pressure in your head can make the headache worse again, such as bending over, coughing and sneezing, exercising or even shouting.With a brain tumour, feeling sick may also be worse in the morning. You may actually be sick.

You may also have hiccoughs (hiccups).

Drowsiness is usually a later symptom of a brain tumour. As the tumour grows and the pressure inside the head increases, you may sleep more than usual. Or find yourself dropping off during the day. If this is not treated, you could eventually become more difficult to wake and then become unconscious.Raised intracranial pressure can also cause
Problems with your eyes
About 1 in 4 people with a brain tumour have fits when they first go to their doctor.

A fit can just be jerking or twitching of a hand, arm or leg. Or they may affect the whole body. Some fits just cause a moment of unconsciousness.

Fits can often be controlled with drugs called anti-epileptics. And if your brain tumour is successfully treated, they may stop completely. In some cases, fits continue even after successful treatment because of scar tissue left in the brain. They may then be easier to control with anti-fit medication (anti-epileptic drugs).Having a fit is very frightening. There are many different causes of fits and it is important to go to your doctor if you have one.


As a brain tumour grows, it will press on the brain tissue around it. So it will affect the part of the body, or the body process, that is controlled by that part of the brain.Here are symptoms that can be caused by tumours in different parts of the brain and the spinal cord:

Frontal lobe
Changes in personality
Swearing or behaving in a way that you normally wouldn't (loss of inhibitions)
Losing interest in life (apathy)
Difficulty with planning and organising
Being irritable or aggressive
Weakness in part of the face, or on one side of the body
Difficulty walking
Loss of sense of smell
Problems with your sight or speech


Temporal lobe
Forgetting words
Short term memory loss
Fits associated with strange feelings, smells or déjà vu (a feeling you have been somewhere or done something before)


Parietal lobe
Difficulty speaking or understanding what is said to you
Problems with reading or writing
Loss of feeling in part of the body


Occipital lobe
Sight problems or loss of vision on one side


Hindbrain (cerebellum)
Poor co-ordination
Uncontrolled movement of the eyes
Sickness
Neck stiffness
Dizziness


Brain stem
Poor co-ordination
Drooping eyelid or mouth on one side
Difficulty swallowing
Difficulty speaking
Seeing double


Spinal cord
Pain
Numbness in part of the body
Weakness in the legs or arms
Loss of control of the bladder or bowel


Pituitary gland
Irregular or infrequent periods
Infertility in men and women
Lack of energy
Weight gain
Mood swings
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Enlarged hands and feet
Nerves controlling sight
Failing sight
Hearing nerves
Failing hearing


Meninges
Headache
Sickness
Sight problems
Problems with movement


Remember - any of these symptoms could be caused by another illness. If you are worried, you should go to your doctor. They will send you to a specialist if there is any cause for concern.Sometimes tumours in the frontal or temporal lobes of the forebrain can grow to quite a size with very few symptoms. In elderly people, vague symptoms of memory loss, personality changes and difficulty walking can be put down to getting older. If several symptoms like these develop over less than 6 months, it is worth checking with your doctor
