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.

Get your cash from a bank teller and ask for new crisp bills. The more crisp currency is, the less likely you will turn loose of it. Old money spends f-a-s-t and we tend to treat it like trash and throw it away (spend it) aimlessly.

Your work ethic will speak volumes about your chances of success. Your success will be a direct result of your ability to reach and stretch yourself beyond perceived limitations. The successful person has will, power (energy) and willpower.

Use a smaller plate. Do not load the smaller plate. Loading food on a plate is not about being hungry, it is a clear indicator of 'lack mentality' and that there just may not be enough food so you better get it all right now before it runs out. Living in lack makes you unhealthy.
