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.

Chances are you are an adult reading this and quite capable of contributing to a well-maintained appearance of your personal space. Choose to be more aware of the path you leave in your wake. As I always say, "Like a boat on a lake, we all leave a wake." |
Chances are you are an adult reading this and know how to add and subtract. You know whether you can afford something or not. Commit to your financial goals rather than the appearance of financial freedom that you really do not yet have. |
Take a more present state of mind in the way you live your Life. Instead of using words or phrases that have no committment such as - "I'm gonna . . When I . . As soon as . . If only . . I'll try . . and maybe" start using words that actually carry a commitment such as, "I am . . I will . . I have . . and I enjoy" and really make things happen for yourself. Enough with the nonsense chatter that means nothing and wastes not only your time, but others time as well. |
When more attention is given to something, then that 'thing' usually wins the attention battle. It is usually the lack of proper attention that results in failure. It really is as simple as that!
