I saw this picture and it really rings true for me right now. I feel quite overwhelmed and pulled in many different directions. Graduate school is stressful enough, but now I am starting to have anxiety about what in the world I will be doing and where in the world I will be come graduation in May 2014.
I do find myself smiling when I am completely overwhelmed. I don't think I want to hide my stress out of fear of looking weak, but more because I don't like to be miserable. I can smile through adversity because I have hope that things will get better. I smile because I don't want to be a negative person. I don't like when I am unhappy, grumpy, pessimistic, and frustrated. I don't like when my negative attitude negatively effects those around me. I think choosing to smile despite our struggles is important. But enough more so, I think smiling because of our struggles is even more powerful. Looking back on my life, all the overwhelming moments helped me grow to be a more competent and confident person. It is a powerful thing to have the ability to look at struggles as a gift to grow and learn about yourself. That really changes your perspective on life and stress.
I also believe the physical act of smiling actually makes you start to feel better. This goes back to the concept, "fake it until you make it". When I am having a bad day and I choose to frown and be negative my day stays awful or just gets even worse. But when I choose to smile, I slowly start to feel better and I start to see solutions to my problems.
I am reminded of the lyrics to Nat King Cole's song....
"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking...
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile"
Smile even though it's breaking...
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile"

DeleteIrrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
