Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) - 7 Ways To Make Your Life Easier Everyday
August 1st

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) is a real term used in healthcare that refers to daily basic self-care activities in an individual's residence, outdoor environment or both. The ability or inability that an individual performs their ADLs is a measure of the functional status of the individual, particularly the injured, those with disabilities and the elderly. Very young children require assistance from adults to perform ADLs since they have not yet developed the skills necessary to perform ADLs on their own.

Basic ADLs (bADLs) are the things we normally do such as bathing, dressing, feeding ourselves, functional mobility, personal hygiene and grooming. Instrumental ADLs (iADLs) are things such as housework, money management, preparing meals, shopping and work.

Sometimes it is necessary to review the rules of kindergarten to remember how to be nice to others and use Good manners. And sometimes we just need to go back to the basics of the 'Activities of Daily Living' in order to take better care of ourselves and start living Life rightly.

Below you will see 7 simple activities to accomplish at some point during the day all under the motivation of the the daily mentation question below. You have 24 hours to get through this question along with the 7 activities. READY? SET? GO!

Activities of Daily Living - Mentation Question

When did I or when do I experience 'familiar contempt'?

Activities of Daily Living - Hygiene and Grooming

While you may wash your hands after you use the restroom, others may not. Think about where the hands are when a man or a woman have to go  # 1 or  # 2. Yeah, it's called 'penis hands' or 'vagina hands' or even 'butt hands'. Wash your hands not just because you touched yourself but wash your hands because others touch themselves the same as you do.

Activities of Daily Living - Physical Activity

When you stretch, you are 'deliberately' flexing in order to improve the elasticity of the muscle. The muscles will have better ROM (range of motion), better tone and you will have more physical control over your body. 10 times today - stretch your body fully with outstretched hands and outstretched legs. You can do it in your chair, standing up or lying down. When you stretch yourself, you will find out yourself stretching yourself in Life.

Activities of Daily Living - Housework and Cleaning

Productivity is really about keeping things moving resulting and getting things done. When things stop moving, nothing gets done. Dishes in the sink, clothes lying around or scattered belongings are an indication of stagnated energy. Keep yourself and your Life moving by taking care of your personal life now. If you want change and Good things to happen, then keep the energy moving.

Activities of Daily Living - Financial Management

Customer reward programs are the best way to get free stuff. It's like they are paying you to use their product or services. Think of the places and things you use the most and then join their customer rewards program. If you are going to use their product or services anyway then you need to get with the program.

Activities of Daily Living - Work and Productivity

A lack of discipline is the main contributor to a lack of productivity. What are the 2 top things you want to do today? Now prioritize and make the time to do it.

Activities of Daily Living - Food Preparation

Preparing a menu can not only save you time, it will save you money. You will probably eat healthier in the process because you are more aware of what you are eating. Plan your meals for the next 2 days and notice how much time, money and calories you save.
