Hi Dave Ward here, please read this email to the end to help fight Alzheimer’s disease!!!

Hi Dave Ward here,I’m writing to you because you are on my personal email list and I  am hoping you can do me a big favor.  You see my brother Chris has just recorded a song in honor of our dad who sadly died of Alzheimer’s disease.  The song is called Worried About My Daddy (it really is a great song). 

We hope to raise £1,000 for the Alzheimer’s Society through people listening to the song and donating on our blog http://worriedaboutmydaddy.com .  If you head over there now right at the top of the page is a link to download or listen to the song and further down the page is a PaPal and Just giving button to donate.   No amount is too small and all monies will go to the Alzheimer’s Society to continue its fantastic work researching Alzheimer’s disease and supporting families with loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.  We know how important this support is and can make all the difference for a family trying to deal with this debilitating disease. The very best of wishes to you and yours and thanks so much for your support

What is the Best Exercise Following A Stent

Healthgiants-exercise
So what is the best type of exercise following a stent?  The answer to this question lies with you. Prior to my stent I trained regularly about five times per week.  After my stent I was back in the gym within a week. I’m certain that being physically fit prior to my stent helped tremendously in my recovery.  That’s me though, everyone is not the same and as I said above the best type of training following a stent depends on you!

So why is exercise important after a stent?

The general consensus in the medical world is that exercise is good for hearts including hearts that have been stented or had other procedures such as by-pass surgery.

Your heart is a muscle (a very special muscle but nevertheless a muscle). The average heart beats 72 times per minute.  Below is a calculation showing how many times the average heart beats in an average 52 year life time:

in 1 min = 72
in 1 hour = 72 * 60 = 4320
in 1 day = 72 * 60 *24 = 103680
in 1 year = 72 * 60 * 24 * 365 = 37843200
in Avg life span = 72 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 52 = 1967846400

As you can see, the heart is an amazing piece of engineering a muscular pump like no other pump, and like all muscles it needs exercise to keep it strong.  You only get one heart and you need to look after it.

The level of exercise you should do depends on how conditioned you and your heart are.   If you have never exercised it would not be a good idea to do extreme training (especially following a stent).

What level of exercise?

Fitness levels vary, I know people who have had stents but who have not done any exercise for years.  Exercise for them needs to be light but regular to start with.

Senior-man-jogging-lycopene-lg
Walking is a great way to start exercising again and this can be done only a few days after your stent placement providing you feel up to it.  Most people are unsure of what exactly to do following a stent.  Depending on where you live there may be cardiac rehabilitation clinics, check them out it will be well worth it.  They will advise you on a structured exercise programme to assist your recovery but will also monitor you progress and support you through your recovery phase.  If you do not have a facility such as this, speak to your Cardiologist or doctor for advice and support.  As a rule any form of exercise done regularly is good, walking is great, swimming is great. I found riding a bike and using a cross trainer in the gym worked for me because I was able to control the level of resistance.

The golden rule when starting to exercise is to listen to your body, take it slow and don’t rush it.  It took years for the artery to be come narrowed in the first place, you don’t want to mess things up now by doing too much too soon.

So what if you were fit and active before your stent? 

Same as above, you still have to listen to your body and take it easy. Your aim is to get back you your normal routine as soon as possible.  There is no time scale on this some people will do it quickly some will take longer.  It really depends on what you have had done to your heart, if you are having a stent post heart attack, have had multiple stent placements or have a lack of energy or feel lethargic you progress will be slower.

Establishing an exercise routine is vital to you future recovery.  The key if there is one is finding an activity that you are passionate about.  If you can do this, before you know it you will be in the habit of exercising and will probably keep it up for the rest of your life.  Taking action is the vital first step to your success and ultimately to remaining healthy in the future.

Are there any precautions I should take?

After you have a stent placement, you are normally prescribed anti-clotting medications for a period to avoid life-threatening blood clots. Any injury received during exercise can be dangerous when you are on this type of medication, so as we have said above you should discuss appropriate physical activity with your rehab specialist, cardiologist or doctor.  It is recommended that you avoid vigorous exercise and heavy lifting for a short time after a stent procedure and stop exercising immediately if you feel any pain or discomfort in you chest. Your cardiologist can tell you when physical activity is safe.

What will exercise do for you? 

I’ve said a lot about exercising following a stent but what will exercise actually do for you?  What will you get out of all this huffing and puffing and sweating?  Exercise is not just good for your heart it is also good for you as a whole.  Here are a few of the benefits you can get from regular exercise:

For anyone who has undergone stent placement, exercise is an essential part of the long term recovery of your heart. Ignore it at your peril. Knowing What is the Best Exercise Following A Stent is can make all the difference to you and your future well-being.

Website and Email Content Ideas

Article-marketing-tips
Marketing on the internet is about using the internet to make money.  This is accomplished by to using the internet to generate leads, build a relationship with those leads and turn them (hopefully) into lifelong customers.   In turn if the information you provide is valuable to your customers they will be willing to buy your products (products you have created or affiliate products that you recommend) or join your team.

The most crucial part of that process is developing a relationship by offering the best value you can deliver in the information you share, whether that’s doing daily emails to your list or writing interesting and compelling content for you blog (kinda like this).

For most people this is easier said than done because most internet marketers face a massive stumbling block when it comes to WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT. In order to write a post on your website, you need to know where to find website and email content ideas  for your list  or to put on your blog to share with your readers

As you continue in your Internet Marketing career, you will learn something new every single day that will develop your Knowledge and Skills and build your experience. Some of your website content ideas or email ideas will come from the new things that you learn.  By passing this information on to your list/readers it delivers VALUE!

Below is a list (not an exhaustive list) of ways to find website content ideas for you blog, emails or articles:

  1. If your like me you get loads of emails each day so why not subscribe to other internet marketers lists to see what they are talking about and save the good stuff in a folder. It simple then just look through their emails when you hit a brick wall and are stuck for ideas.
  2. Facebook fan pages are a great place to find information check out the feeds that are relevant to Internet Marketing (or whatever your niche is) you will get lots of ideas this way.
  3. Think about what you’ve been doing and share it with your list. It maybe something new that you have learned recently it can be anything from broadening your mindset to learning a skill.
  4. Over time you will acquire a list of questions that you have been asked by your list.  Revisit the list for ideas.  For example why is a contact page important on your blog?  Or why is it important to brand yourself.
  5. You can find lots of ideas from non internet related sources like books you are reading or have read or movies you have seen or even songs you have listened to.

Tip try to always have a Personal Development book on the go and a note pad handy to jot things down.  See my list of recommended books here

Try to keep the content you share focused on increasing your audience’s Skills (e.g. How to set up a blog or an autoreponder), Improving your Knowledge (e.g. The different types of marketing on the internet) or improving your Attitude (e.g. why having a positive mindset is so important)

The important thing is to be clear as you can be about the MESSAGE you are trying to convey a confused subscriber will not be with you very long.

Another vital component is to try to be consistent with your writing. Try to email your list on a daily basis (this can be very challenging) and post to your blog once or twice a week. The secret if there is one is to get into a routine of finding and sharing content and before you know it, it will become second nature!

Good Luck With Your Website and Email Content Ideas!

PULL It Together - Help Save Marriage

Couple-arguing
Those who want help save marriage from ending in divorce need to PULL it together. It is a hard thing to watch a marriage that was once so precious and important fall apart. It’s heart breaking to sit by as the two of you start going your separate ways. If you don’t want that to happen then do something about it. Pull it together to help save marriage.

Chill out:

Take a moment to catch your breath and step back from the situation. Not necessarily take a break from it but to just calm down. It is easy for things to get over-heated. Take a moment to catch your breath and give it a moment to cool off. When you were young you were probably told to count to 10 when you got angry so that you could give yourself a chance to get yourself under control.

The same principle applies here. Before you do anything else, take a breath. The next time something is said to you that makes you mad, calm down, get a hold of yourself and then let go of your anger. Only then can you truly learn how to communicate and take the next step to help save marriage.

Understand what is happening:

While you are “chilling out” and taking a moment to breathe, take a look at what is happening. This is where you try and look at the big picture and then look at things from other perspectives. From where you are standing at the moment things may look pretty bad. Try to look at it from other perspectives and it might not be as bad as you thought.

Try looking at it from an outsiders perspective and from the one you love. From those other perspectives you might find out why things have been getting out of control. There may be a relatively simple solution to help save marriage.

Laugh at yourselves:

This doesn’t mean to make light of the situation but it does mean don’t take yourselves so seriously. It is easy to make mountains out of mole hills. Things snowball out of control but when you are able to see what it was that actually made the snowball you may end up laughing at it.

It can be hilarious to find out how a minuscule  thing can turn into something so huge when it didn’t have to. It can be hilarious if you are willing to let it be. Many times when people go through a rough time they will say, “Sometime we are going to look back at this and laugh!” Why wait?

Look for ways to improve:

Once you have had a chance to step back and catch your breath and then been able to get some perspective on the situation, you can move on. When you have realized that at it’s root, this situation or problems that you have been struggling with is really small and manageable you can get things on track.

The next thing that you need to do is commit yourself to finding a way to improve. If you are responsible for the little things that get blown out of proportion, then try stopping it. If you have learned that you overreact, then stop it. Improve the way you handle situations and everything else may just fall into place to help save marriage.

To help save marriage, PULL it together and bring back what belongs together…the two of you.

Relationship Rescue Work To Save Your Relationship

1239971876
If you are wanting to keep a marriage or relationship afloat and aren’t willing to give up on it then you may need some relationship rescue. There are many books about it and lots of advice given from friends and counselors. There are marriage therapists to go to for counseling but most everyone will end up saying the same things and will not give you sound advice to take action on.

The best things that you can do in any relationship rescue is to aim at being honest and accept one another. Doing both of these may be difficult if you aren’t willing to accept the fact that much of the blame in the difficulties of the relationship is shared. Own up to your own flaws and accept that there may be some truth to the complaints that your significant other has of you. If you want the other party in your relationship to change things you must realize there are probably things that you need to change as well. If you want them to keep an open mind about things that you wish for them to work on then you must do the same.

True love will require compromise many times. You must be able to bend your will and give up some things to make the relationship work. If there is going to be a relationship rescue taking place. Both parties need to take a hard look at themselves and see what things they need to give up and work on to be more compatible.

The largest part of any relationship rescue is to change your perspective. For many people perception is a reality, but it may be a false reality. Something may seem like the worst situation in the world but then, after a change in perspective, it may not seem all that bad at all. People have a way of blowing things out of proportion. In relationships this is especially true. Quite a bit of marriage counseling deals with this bit of relationship management. Look closely at the situations from different angles. Your spouse/partner may seem like they work too much but could it be worse? Yes, they could be hopelessly unemployed and struggling to find work or, worse yet, a bum. Also ask why certain things are being done instead of jumping to conclusions.

Talk through things and when things are settled, drop them and move on. Much of the problems that relationships face is due to the fact that there is someone in the relationship, or maybe both in the relationship, who hold on to grudges. Don’t let that happen. If there were things that happened in the past that have been dealt with, then let them go. When you do have discussions or arguments don’t bring up the past. Deal with the present. Don’t don’t fight battles more than once.

If you are truly willing to see your relationship rescued, these ideas will help you and the one you love breath new life into your relationship.

With A Strong Relationship Depression Can Be Beat

Strong-relationship
The only thing worse than going through depression is being in a relationship with someone who is showing signs of relationship depression. It is difficult to watch them go through this dark period of life. Many relationships end because of it because there doesn’t seem to be any end to it and it begins to wear on both people in the relationship.

Depression makes people think irrationally and causes them to be blind to the good things in life, like you. They will make you feel like everything you do to try and make their world a little better is a wasted effort. It isn’t, though.

The fact that you are there beside them means more to them than you will ever realize. They wouldn’t blame you for leaving and will sometimes try and make the decision easier for you. They don’t really want you to leave, though. They want you to be with them and help if you can.

The first thing that you can do to help them deal with their depression is to understand it. Educate yourself about this mental disorder. Seek out to find what causes it. It could be because they lost a job or did something that brought on a feeling of failure. There are many reasons that it could have started but one thing is certain, even if you are in a strong relationship, depression, once it has begun can snowball.

You will need to make sure that you take care of yourself in this relationship. Depression, gone unchecked, can be contagious. When you are learning about depression make sure that you are watching for signs that you may be exhibiting. If you are then you should be quick in seeking help from psychologists or counselors. Once both of you start falling into depression it may be impossible for either of you to see the light of day. When you start getting worn down because of the weight of it all try and take some time to step back away from it and take care

A past relationship and depression sometimes go hand in hand. When a relationship has failed it is easy to feel like every relationship after that is doomed to fail. Once someone begins feeling that way they will many times turn their current relationships in to a failed one. If this has begun to happen it is important to get relationship advice from marriage counselors and work with them to prevent it. This is not the only reason that marriages or dating relationships fail while one is in depression. Just the strain will cause it to suffer. Seek relationship advice from trained professionals as much as possible.

Above all, do not give up. Believe that you can help them overcome their depression and believe that the effort you are making matters. There are few things more powerful than what can come from a strong relationship. Depression is a tough foe but it can be beaten when the one you love has you to depend on. With a strong relationship depression can be beat.

Things I’ve Learned from Women Who’ve Dumped Me

Breakup-0
Okay, I’ll admit, I’ve been dumped.  More than once.  More than I’d like to admit, actually.  And, while it hurt quite a bit each time, I have to say that I have grown from the experiences.  So, here are some things I’ve learned from women who’ve dumped me.

Things I’ve Learned from Women Who’ve Dumped Me #1: It takes two.

Often with the pain and heartbreak of a break up, it is easy to blame the other person for your misery.  But the truth is that if the relationship was no longer working, you were part of the problem.  Evaluate what went on so that you can apply the lessons to your next relationship.

Things I’ve Learned from Women Who’ve Dumped Me #2: Give women their personal space.

Women like to cuddle and snuggle.  They may seem to always be around.  But they need their personal space too.  Men have a tendency to be possessive.  We want to keep tabs on where they’re going and what they’re doing there.  If any woman has ever cheated on you, this instinct becomes stronger.  But, trust is a key component in a relationship.  When you invade her personal space, you send the message that you don’t trust your girlfriend.  This can easily lead to the end of the relationship.

Things I’ve Learned from Women Who’ve Dumped Me #3: You get stronger over time.

When you wake up in the morning and the hurt’s so real, you may believe that you will never get over the break up.  But the truth is that not only does time heal all pain, but you will emerge from the break up a stronger person.  As philosopher Frederick Nietzsche said, “that which doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger.”

Things I’ve Learned from Women Who’ve Dumped Me #4: It’s okay if it wasn’t meant to be.

Coming to accept that a relationship wasn’t meant to be is a key factor in healing.  If you had started projecting your relationship into the future – considering marriage, thinking about children – and then the woman you were with broke everything off, consider it a blessing.  It is better to end a relationship that wasn’t meant to be earlier rather than later.

Things I’ve Learned from Women Who’ve Dumped Me #5: Good things don’t happen unless you make them happen.

Finally, the last lesson I want to share with you is that you can’t control what happened, but you can control to how you react to what happened.  If you want good things to happen in the future, you have to make them happen.

That means getting back on the horse.  Go out, meet new women.  Have some fun.  Eventually, you will find another relationship.  And, if you have followed the advice in this article about things I’ve learned from women who’ve dumped me, the relationship will be even better and stronger than the last one.
