If you or someone you love has started to experience hearing loss, than you know firsthand what a great loss hearing loss actually is. As a physician’s assistant, I get to work with people all the time who are dealing with the beginning stages of hearing loss.

If you’re anything like me, then your hearing is something that you definitely take for granted. You don’t think too much about the privilege of being able to hear everything around you because it has simply always been that way. You grow up hearing the voices of the ones you love, the music that you love, and all the other fabulous (and annoying) sounds in the world. Think about all of the smallest sounds that make up the sounds of your day: your turn signal blinking in the car, the keys of your keyboard as you type an email, the coffee pot as it creates your pick-me-up brew, or the sink as the water gets hot. All of these sounds, and so many more, make up the small details of our worlds. Can you imagine dealing with hearing loss and not being able to hear these ordinary things?

We’ve probably all experienced the temporary hearing loss that comes from having water in our ears or from having a really bad cold. There is nothing like not being able to hear the people around you. Hearing loss, no matter how small or severe, makes communication with people really difficult and frustrating. We rely on our abilities to talk and to hear in every significant relationship in our lives.

Or take your job for example. Regardless of what you do, isn’t the ability to hear quite significant to your work? How would you sit through a board meeting or teach a class or make a phone call if you had hearing loss? Once you start to really think about the role of hearing in our lives, you can never deny the privilege and the blessing it really is.

In today’s age, there are many ways to battle against hearing loss and to use techonology to restore hearing loss. So if you or someone you know is struggling with the beginning stages of hearing loss, then make an appointment to see your doctor today and see what you can be done to keep your hearing intact. You won’t know how valuable hearing is until you lose it, so do what you can do preserve your hearing starting today.

How do I feel about my child’s separation anxiety? Honestly,
it’s absolutely one of the most delightful feelings I really
enjoy as a mom.

I remember when my son was between 8-9 months old. Just like
every mother, I couldn’t forget those moments.

At that time, he often asked for more attention from me rather
than from anybody in the house. No matter where he was or who
was holding him, as soon as he saw me, he suddenly cried as if
he was asking me to hold him.

When I came close to him, he abruptly opened his arms and looked
so happy. His cry stopped in a moment. It was truly an unspoken
feeling I had experienced.

But there was also time when he acted differently from what I
had expected. When I went for work, I thought he would cry hard
to see me leaving him. I hugged him tight and kissed his face
again and again.

I told him, “Baby, Mommy have to go to work now. Eat and drink a
lot, okay? And have a good nap. I’ll be back. Love you much.
Bubye.”

Sometimes he kept looking at me when I said so. I expected him
to start weeping. But it didn’t happen. I wondered why. I found
out later that he was interested with the wheels of the car I
traveled in everyday.

Whenever the car started to run, my son always kept his eyes on
the wheels. Looking at them spinning must have been very
exciting to him. I just smiled, though my heart broke a little.
I soothed myself by thinking that it was good for him being
curious of strange things.

My son is a baby who has sleeping problem. Throughout the night
during his sleep, he often woke up several times. If he woke up
and didn’t find me nearby, he would cry out loud, making the
whole house panic as if something really bad happen.

When I got into the bedroom, he would crawl toward me, and then
I hugged him. He’d be calm afterward. Breastfeeding really
worked to put him back to sleep.

Thank God I decided to breastfeed him so that I wouldn’t be
engaged with the rush of preparing formula during the night.
Yes, I chose to breastfeed him in nighttimes, even though he
still got formula in day times.

Maybe this breastfeeding activity had created the bond between
us. I enjoyed it, and still until now. This might also what made
my son didn’t want to stay away from me.

If your baby or child has the same characteristic as my son has,
I’m sure you have the same feeling as I do. If you think that
your baby’s cry (for being away from you) annoy you, just
remember that it won’t last forever.

Separation anxiety is a phase in your child’s development during
his early years of life. Almost all children go through this
experience. What I can suggest you is just enjoy these intimate
moments before they’re gone along with your child’s growth.

>From what I’ve heard from my friends about this, you’re gonna
miss the moments. To me, even now, I really don’t want the phase
fade away.

Wait, wait. There’s one more thing I’d like to share with you,
which you may not think will make your child comfortable. I
remember my friend told me that if you’re going somewhere, don’t
forget to tell your child that you’ll be back. Instead of
sneaking out of the house, waving your hand and saying that
you’ll be back will soothe him somehow.

Has debt got you down?

If so, you’re not alone. These days getting into debt is easy. Getting out is not. Buying lottery tickets and hoping to “win the big one” is not the answer.

No matter how much money you owe, and no matter how tight money gets, remember that life is too short to spend time worrying.

Therefore, the real “secret” to getting completely out of debt is actually very simple:

Make the commitment, then take action!

If all you do is sit back and talk about getting out of debt, and just complain about how hard it is being stuck in debt - and never actually do anything about it - an amazing thing will happen… NOTHING!

You won’t get out of debt overnight - after all, you didn’t get into debt overnight, either.

But you can change the way you think. Our mind is very powerful. And when life seems to be out of control, the simplest thing you can control is how you think!

There’s an old saying:

“The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again, but expecting different results!”

That’s especially true when it comes to getting out of debt!

You need to start with small steps. Take out a notebook and write down your goals. Write down the small steps you will take to reach your goals.

• Cut out unnecessary expenses
• Think of inexpensive ways to have fun
• Consider selling valuable items you don’t need
• Get a part-time job
• Start an online business

Think hard, write down everything you think of, then decide which steps to take first. And most importantly, go ahead and do them.

Nobody every got rich by sitting on the couch and thinking!

Without making the commitment to getting out of debt, you never will.

On the other hand, you CAN live the life you’ve always wanted. And if you make the commitment - and don’t let ANYONE or ANYTHING get in your way - you, too, can live a life without debt!

Through the simple process of touch, Reflexology is so effective in the healing process. In the hi-tech world that we live in, touch has taken second place to machines.

Physiotherapists are now using machines instead of their hands. Doctors use machines to scan bodies and no longer rely on their hands for diagnosis. People have forgotten how to hug one another. They now shake hands. They walk past one another in the streets and do not even greet each other.

Electric blankets are used to keep warm in bed - human arms have become redundant. Healing takes place through an exchange of human energies and not through an exchange of electricity.

There is sufficient evidence that over-exposure to electricity increases the risk of cancer. Even living near high voltage pylons is reputed to deplete the immune system.

Research was done in an orphanage in London where the mortality rate of babies was very high. People were paid to come into the orphanage and to play with an experimental group of babies. The mortality rate remained the same for the babies in the control group but the experimental group babies who were played with every day showed a higher survival rate.

When you are feeling down in the dumps and someone hugs you, you immediately feel better. This occurs because of the exchange of human energies and since positive energy can be used to destroy negative energy, you change the energy field of the person and they will immediately feel better.

All of us have the gift of healing in our hands. You instinctively use your hands to heal. When you bang your knee, you automatically put your hand on it. When a child bangs his head against something, you put your hand on his head. You are transmitting healing energy without even knowing it.

Reflexology, which is an ancient form of healing which stimulates energy points in the feet, hands and body, is one modality that effectively transmits healing energy.
