Excerpt Two:
On Taking Care of Yourself
Your life is your movie. It’s up to you to adapt to changes and sustain your health. You’re responsible for improving and flourishing in whatever existence you carve out for yourself. Whether you have a positive or negative mental outlook makes all the difference in your success and overall happiness.
Treat yourself well, keep your living space clean and bright, and take care of your mental and physical health. Make decisions that will benefit you in the long run and make your future self proud to look back on.
Adopt healthy life habits and routines that will benefit you.
Health Records and Medical History
Ensure you have access to your health insurance information, immunization history, and contact information when visiting health care providers or having routine checkups. If you have a medical condition, keep a file of your discharge papers, records, and receipts and be prepared to access your information. Keep track of any vaccination or shot information you might need to show when you head to specific job interviews or doctor consultations.
Checking Your Blood Pressure
When we’re young, we feel invincible. We eat what we want and have superhuman metabolism and endless energy. Nothing can faze us. But the truth is, the higher a person’s blood pressure, the greater their risk of health problems. If high blood pressure is left untreated, it can lead to stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and heart failure. Checking your blood pressure can help you gauge where you stand health-wise and pinpoint any medical treatment or preventative care needed.
You can do a few things if you suspect you have high blood pressure. Doctor’s offices can take your blood pressure at appointments. Most clinics will let you come in to get your blood pressure checked regularly without a charge. There are also free blood pressure machines at Walmart, Kroger, and CVS pharmacies. Take a minute to relax, sit, and check your blood pressure. If it is abnormal or high, consult a doctor.

Review: This book is a quick and easy guide to adulting. It includes tips and ideas for saving money, avoiding credit cards and loans, and budgeting. The read for each item is short and efficient. It doesn’t load you with too much information; it gives you exactly what you need. The only thing that would’ve been useful to mention would be the free sites on taxes for those that meet the income requirements. One can find these free tax sources on the IRS website. In fact, including a list of resources on some these items would help, too. Other things to help with adulting included getting eye glasses, checking the oil on your car, buying a home, making extra money on the side, planning for retirement, how to improve your credit score, and so on. There’s even a little paragraph on how to do laundry. All the suggested cleaning seemed a little much, especially for some that work more than one job. There were even some easy recipes here. And a quick brief on miscellaneous tips like how to sanitize a sponge, how to remove paint from your clothes, and how to get rid of hiccups. Ha, ha! This book was pretty cool. It really is a cheat sheet.
A good reference how-to book for life.

ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting and for your review!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to read this!
ReplyDeleteHi Tracie, I have an office, but my favorite spot to write is on our loveseat in the living room with the dog draped over my ankles. When the sun hits the spot just right, there's something quite nice about it for a writing nook. But I've written everywhere from my kids' car pool school lanes to the bathroom, so you know, anything goes! Ha ha, thank you for yoru question.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such an insight response and love that your fur baby is big part of your creative process! I wish you much success and happiness in 2024!
