Why Everyone with Alzheimer’s Should Enroll in a Clinical Study

Source: http://blog.alz.org/why-everyone-with-alzheimers-should-enroll-in-a-clinical-study/

When you or a loved one receives an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis and the equally bad news is that there isn’t a single medication on the market that can stop the mind-robbing disease in its tracks, it’s easy to feel hopeless. Who wouldn’t? But on the contrary, there is every reason to be hopeful. Why?

More than 150 Alzheimer’s and related clinical trials in the U.S. are looking for volunteers.

Each of these studies is testing an experimental treatment to discover whether one of them could be an effective treatment or a cure, the answer to so many prayers. Although the investigational medications currently being tested in clinical studies may not stop the disease progression or prevent its devastating escalation, every study gives researchers one more bit of invaluable information that will eventually lead to answers on how to treat Alzheimer’s disease.

Personal Trainer in Ashburn explains the WIT Concept – and his boot camp clients in Ashburn exemplify it!

Source http://www.personaltrainingco.com/personal-trainer-in-ashburn-explains-the-wit-concept-and-his-boot-camp-clients-in-ashburn-exemplify-it/

When I started my first  business around age 21, I had a mentor teaching me the ropes and giving me assignments to help me reach my goal but I wanted to know how I would know when I would succeed and see some results.  I wanted to know exactly what it would take to get there.  That’s when he taught me about the WIT concept.  “What is that?”, I asked.  He said, “Whatever It Takes”.  You’ve got to be willing to do whatever it takes to reach your goals.

By adopting this principle and idea, I tripled the size of his business in less than a year.

Don’t see obstacles as roadblocks but opportunities to think creatively and flex your problem solving muscles because when you’re committed, there’s ALWAYS a way.

The Bull Called Fear

Source http://www.nu-ufitness.com/bull-called-fear/

I had learned to not dream so lofty as a child.  I grew up hearing things like, “don’t get your hopes up” or “I doubt it will happen” or “I don’t mean to burst your bubble but that is not possible.”   I have learned over the years that this is not the case.  About a year ago… I started to dream again… started to take slow, itty, bitty, steps to my happily ever after.  Throughout this time I have learned that a dream doesn’t become a reality through magic; it comes through hard work, sleepless nights, determination, sweat, tears, and most of all perseverance.  I tell myself every day that I have the strength, the patience, and the absolute passion to reach the most beautiful and brightest start to inspire and change the world.  You need to remember that too.  We all have dreams deep down in our souls but in order to make them your reality it takes dedication, self-discipline, and a shit ton of effort.

Don’t be a person that settles, stands still in something that is comfortable because you will NEVER accomplish those dreams or find your inner self.

I am where I am today because I had to make hard choices, be uncomfortable, squished, smashed, thrown, beaten down, picked back up just to be punched again, walk barefoot in huisache (if you are from South Texas you will appreciate this) in the valleys and in the peaks… I have looked in the mirror and seen dark eyes, smile less face, and a completely lost soul.  One day, as I was lay…

Why Loving Someone Isn’t Enough to Make It Work

Source http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/tinybuddha/~3/KKTWf1uXZNA/

“We accept the love we think we deserve.” ~Stephen Chbosky

Have you ever thought that you could love someone enough to make everything work?

Have you been in a relationship where you knew you weren’t really happy, but you kept saying, “But I love him/her. Isn’t that enough?”

I know how it feels to believe this. I have felt this more times than I care to admit. The worst was when I fell in love with my ex-husband. He was twelve years my junior, from another country (Greece), and barely spoke English.

Our souls connected immediately, and I fell in love with him. What was I thinking? We had nothing in common. He was not ready financially or emotionally. We could not communicate. Our cultures were different. But I was in love, and shouldn’t that have been enough?

It wasn’t only my ex-husband that I had this problem with. Every relationship I’ve had was fatally flawed. They weren’t flawed because I chose bad, evil men. They were flawed because I fell in love with character and not with our compatibility or their ability to contribute to my happiness.

I fell in love with these men because of who they were, not how they made me feel. Yes, they were kind. Yes, they were ethical. Yes, they were attractive. But not one of them really lis…

5 Yogis Reflect on the Importance of Purpose in Practice

Source http://www.sonima.com/yoga/sankalpah/

Yogis often start practice with an intention, either a mantra or a dedication that connects the physical practice to a higher purpose. For centuries, yogis have sought deeper meaning in life not only through physical practice and the melding of action and thought, but through a practice of Sankalpah—a deep vow, or resolution to connect one’s life with elevated purpose. Attaining resolve around purpose can itself pose a challenge to the confused among us; yoga offers a path towards reckoning with what it is that we really need, what it is that we are truly capable of.

In a conference arranged by our friends at NY Yoga + Life Magazine this weekend at the Rubin Museum of Art, yogis and meditators will come together to explore pathways of understanding one’s own purpose. We were lucky enough to speak with five of their master teachers on what sankalpah and the practice of teaching means to them.

Sarah Finger, Co-Founder of Ishta Yoga

Sankalpah is a seed, or an intention that we plant to manifest that which resonates with our own highest purpose. To me, teaching is the sharing of tools, techniques, and wisdom to empower others to elevate their own consciousness.
