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!

Am I willing to put as much into my Life as I wish to get out of it?

Moisturize before you shave anywhere, male or female - face, armpits, legs, bikini area, etc.

The single best exercise you can do is 'walk'. It takes no equipment and strengthens your heart and lungs. Walking stimulates the second heart beat in your calves. Read about the second heart beat here on my other website. The second heartbeat is a real thing!

Restore old baking sheets. Sprinkle the sheet with baking soda followed by a few sprays of hydrogen peroxide, finish with another layer of baking soda. Let set a few hours and then wipe the baking sheet clean.

FREE UP your cluttered space by giving away what are you not using. Give to an organization, a charity, a friend or family member. Just get rid of the clutter and free-up the space so energy can flow. Energy is a current, which translates into 'currency'. It's a real thing and the 'free'dom works.

Try a bit of silence so you can hear yourself think. Not every moment has to be filled with a word, a phone notification, music, a TV or a podcast. Just because you can listen-and-do, does not mean you should. Enjoy the production of your own thoughts and ideas. You can still do-and-think. It's called a 'moving meditation'.

Research marinades that you can use on your freezer preps (chicken, beef) or salad dressings to change-up your salads. I use marinades a lot and one of our favorites is 'Moroccan' or 'Jamaican Jerk'. Marinades are a cooking game-changer.

DESCRIPTION: Astragalus originated in China and is known to treat viral infections. There have been some clinical studies in China with Astralagus which show the effectiveness of this herb in fighting the common cold. Astragalus has been shown to be useful where the immune system has been damaged by radiation or chemicals. Many herbalists say Astragalus helps to prevent heart arrhythmias. When taken orally it is said to increase the immune-stimulating compounds in the body.
POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS: Astragalus helps to stimulate the immune system and fight viral infections. Astragalus may help to lower blood pressure and aid in the cleansing the liver and gallbladder.
If you are diabetic, you MUST consult with your physician before taking Astragalus because it may increase the effects of diabetic medications or glucose elevating agents. Astragalus may also increase the effects of medications for high blood pressure, anti-viral conditions or blood-thinning purposes. It has also been known to interfere with immunosuppressive therapy, thereby compromising immune function.
