Posted 23 August 2016 | By Zachary Brennan
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday finalized two guidance documents: one on factors to consider when making benefit-risk determinations for premarket approval (PMA) and de novo classifications, and one on the concepts that sponsors and other stakeholders should consider when choosing to collect patient preference information (PPI) that may inform FDA's benefit-risk determinations.
The 62-page guidance on benefit-risk determinations, finalized more than five years after the draft was proposed, looks to provide greater clarity for FDA reviewers and industry on the principal factors FDA considers when making benefit-risk determinations during the premarket review process for certain medical devices.
In assessing a device's potential benefits, FDA considers the type of benefit, magnitude, probability of a patient experiencing such a benefit and the duration the benefit can be expected to last. In terms of risks, FDA evaluates the severity, type, number and rate of harmful events, the probability and duration of a harmful event and the risk from false-positive or false-negative results from diagnostics.
Additional factors considered include uncertainties ("there is never 100% certainty when determining reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of a device"), patient-centric assessments and patient-reported outcomes, characterization of the disease and other patient perspectives, which FDA says "should take into account both the patient's willingness and unwillingness to use a device or tolerate risk in exchange for probable benefit."
The guidance also includes four hypothetical examples of benefit-risk determinations, as well as appendices on the intersection of this guidance with ISO 14971, a worksheet for benefit-risk determinations and worksheets for the examples.
The other guidance, a 29-page document finalized on Tuesday from a draft issued in May 2015, explains the concepts that sponsors and other stakeholders should consider when choosing to collect PPI, which may inform FDA's benefit-risk determinations in PMAs, humanitarian device exemption (HDE) applications, and de novo classification requests.
The guidance also discusses FDA's inclusion of PPI in its decision summaries and provides recommendations for the inclusion of such information in device labeling for certain devices.
The guidance is part of FDA's interest in providing a systematic way to ensure that patients are represented and patient perspectives are considered in the decision making process.
Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff: Factors to Consider When Making Benefit-Risk Determinations in Medical Device Premarket Approval and De Novo Classifications
Guidance for Industry, Food and Drug Administration Staff, and Other Stakeholders: Patient Preference Information – Voluntary Submission, Review in Premarket Approval Applications, Humanitarian Device Exemption Applications, and De Novo Requests, and Inclusion in Decision Summaries and Device Labeling

Concentric rings emanate from our thoughts...
Why Oceti Sakowin Camp has such a special feeling on earth: the waters of the river to the East where the sunrises, the homelands of many nations to the South, the healing sunset glow to the West and the strong winds from the north blow over the sacred lands and carry the peace of prayer among us.
I guess that is why I like the expression "come correct" so much.
Here I go on an educational theme today...
Did you know that the pipelines are for foreign markets exports? Oil not for domestic use!

In 1970, President Nixon along with Congress did the right thing and returned the Sacred Waters of Blue Lake to the Sovereign Taos Pueblo.
In my cynicism, I would say that was before Big Oil had bought their way into local, state and federal government.

During Sunday's award show, hosts John Cena and Victoria Justice took on presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, respectively – with a little help from Keegan-Michael Key, who revived his excellent President Barack Obama impression.
"I thought you would be bigger," Key quipped to Justice.
"Look at me, I'm huge," responded the actress, outfitted in a navy suit, white shirt and red tie – and one very blonde, very coiffed wig.
Meanwhile, WWE superstar Cena – rocking a blowout and a power suit – couldn't keep a straight face throughout the spoof.
We loved having "Hillary Clinton" and "Donald Trump" stop by! Don't forget to vote for #ChoicePresident! #TeenChoicepic.twitter.com/TYymzbpq1i

And that's not the only way the show has incorporated politics this year: The Teen Choice Awards partnered with Rock the Vote for the first time to poll teens about their "Choice President."
The partnership aims to gives teens the power to make their voices heard by voting for whom they think should be the next President of the United States.
Shortly before the end of the live broadcast on Fox, Key revealed the results of the youth poll, which deemed Clinton the winner.

to our 7th grade SCIENCE web Page
Please Be Patient Some Of The Pictures
Are Slow, But They Are Worth The Wait!
Hi, my name is Ms. Van Sickle. I teach 7th grade Science at Gray Middle School in Tacoma, Washington. I created this web page to help enhance my 7th grade students interest in the area of Science.
Our world is full of many wonderful things, many of these items we take for granted without a second thought. Just imagine what the world would be like without the benefits of science. I'm not talking about the big things, like space exploration or particle matter that most of us don't actually get to play with. I'm talking about day-to-day activities. Where would you be??........ Without Air Conditioning? Toothpaste? Television? Cars? Flight? Well, you'd probably be hot, toothless, bored and walking. So, I say! "Three cheers for science!"
Any of my students who wish to earn extra credit, by writing a short one page summary of their area of interest or write up a science project on an area where they have performed research. They also can do this by going to Favorite Places,, or other web pages for more ideas. I encourage science exploration outside of class as well as inside the classroom.
If you have any question feel free to e-mail me.

Welcome to Mid-Week E-Lift —
a Message in the Midst of a Busy Week
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4
LISTEN TO: WORDS by Hawk Nelson, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ci66QvYiKg
Today I did one of my most favorite things in the world — go to the bookstore!! I purchased a collection of books for my new grand-nephew and grand-niece. I remembered the wonderful memories of reading to my children when they were young. No sweeter words did I hear than "read it again mommy!" Every night we would snuggle and read before bedtime. Sometimes we would just talk and tell the stories of the day. Sometimes they would be inspired to make up their own stories, from their favorite books or from their daily activities. I still have those books, and love collecting children's books. As they got older we graduated to "chapter books" and eventually "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" became part of our repertoire. Storytelling has become ingrained in us. Just the other day they mentioned how much they looked back to the days we used to sit around the campfire, telling old stories, making up new ones.
It is not surprising that God reaches us through stories. Stories have the power to open us up — to ideas, to image possibilities; to help us understand life. The Bible is a collection of stories — about the human adventure with God, and God's care and redeeming love for us — even when we are at our worst. Because of the Bible's flexibility, we started with children's bible up to a teen bible finally up to a bible for mature young adults. We well the stories — and like good stories, we read them over and over again. Like good stories, there's always something new to discover. We find ourselves in the text. and we discover, the stories of the Book connect to our personal stories, and the stories of our culture. That's what makes scripture so powerful. God's living word transcends it all. Our story is connected to the Great Story of Redemption that God has written over the ages and is expressed in the living Word of Jesus. His story is, as the writers say, "the Greatest Story Ever Told." And of course it is not surprising that Jesus, like every good teacher, loved telling stories to get his point across.
The Bible can be intimidating to a newcomer. But it is worth the effort, and there are many resources to help navigate the journey. Some books may seem confusing, boring, perhaps disturbing. Other books of the Bible are gripping, inspiring, funny, life-changing. Just like us! The Bible holds up a mirror to our soul and how we are living — how our culture is doing. That's what a good read does — it draws us in and connects us to our soul and the outer world. So delve into God's written word. Let the words sink in, inspire you, change you. Be one of God's amazing stories for the world to read — and reread — to encourage others to read the story behind the story — the love of Jesus, God's Living Word.
PRAY: "Living Word, guide me as I read the stories of salvation. Make my life your living book, so that others can find you there, and seek to know their story in your Story."

Consolidating Debt with Bad Credit Loans
When you have long term loans bad credit, what are you going to do? Having dozens of old debts hanging over your head can be frightening. You are not sure what to do about them and when you try to repay one at a time, you still end up failing because it takes forever to repay. Sometimes, you are best looking into consolidation in order to deal with these debts. However, will consolidating really make your debts easier to pay and can you consolidate with a poor credit loan?
Why Consolidate?
First and foremost, you have to understand that consolidation doesn't always work for every borrower. Usually, these are designed for those with several debts mounting up and for those who are truly struggling to repay the debts. You have to remember, consolidation can sometimes affect the credit so if you don't have to consolidate, don't! However, when you are in need for help, using bad credit loans to consolidate the debts will be ideal. If you have negative credit or it's fairly poor, it's time to look at consolidating with a poor credit loan. These will help people manage to pay all debts with one (and only one) monthly payment. All debts are collected and consolidated into one loan and borrowers need to pay that amount only. Usually the monthly costs are fairly reasonable for all parties. visit this website here!
Manageable For Most Borrowers
You have to remember, since you are paying all debts with one monthly payment, it can be a lot easier to manage. What is more, you are less likely to forget to pay one debt as it's all consolidated into one. This means you really only pay one debt or loan and it can slowly but surely reduce over time. It's great because you are not failing to repay the debts and it shows lending institutes you are doing something about your debts. Consolidating is really a smart move especially when you are struggling financially. These are a lot more manageable too and it makes it a lot easier to pay back too. Long term loans bad credit is not always welcomed but can help. When you have bad credit you need a lot of help to get your credit back to where it should be.
Explore Your Options
Most people are going to say consolidation is far too difficult and troublesome for them personally and continue to struggle with their several debts. While consolidating isn't always the most appealing thought, it can actually help. People have already tried this and have found paying back their debts to be far easier and more convenient. There is only one monthly payment to make and it's easier to manage than having several all at once. Bad credit loans can be used to consolidate the debts. check more info from http://www.irishexaminer.com/business/on-target-aib-shares-up-on-bad-loans-pledge-455856.html
Consolidate At Your Own Risk
While some might not like the idea of consolidating the debts, a lot of people will find it more than useful. This can be sometimes ideal especially when you have old debts and you are struggling to repay. Sometimes you are actually best to consolidate than keep on with paying debts you are barely able to make. Consolidating make be more useful with long term loans bad credit.…

TEHRAN -- Iranian director Mohammad-Ali Talebi plans to make a biopic of the founder of Iranian nomad schools Mohammad Bahmanbeigi."Over the past two years, I have been considering various proposals for my next film, but I was searching for a project with a different perspective," Talebi told the Persian service of MNA on Wednesday.
"Thus, I became familiar with Mohammad Bahmanbeigi – a man who dedicated his life to educating nomads," he added.
"About 40 years ago, a great number of nomad children were educated by this man by means of an advanced method. As a result his efforts, many of his students progressed to prominent positions" he explained.
Entitled "The Lights of the Plain", the biopic will be produced in two versions -- a feature-length film and a 13-episode TV series.
The film plot has been submitted to one IRIB for preproduction assessment.
Kamran Heidari has previously featured Bahmanbeigi's life in the short film "The White Tents" (2003).
Currently living in Shiraz, Bahmanbeigi was honored by the Iranian Society of Cultural Works and Luminaries during a ceremony in Tehran in November 2005.
Bahmanbeigi was born in 1920 into the Bahmanbeigi Tribe of the Qashqai nomads living in the Fars region in southern Iran.
His father, Mahmud Khan, who was the leader of the tribe, was exiled along with his family to Tehran following the tribes' riot in southern Iran in the 1920s. Mohammad continued his education that he had begun with his family procurator in the tribe.
He studied law in the University of Tehran and also learned English, German, and French languages.
It was painful for him to see the tribesmen remain in illiteracy. So he came to Shiraz, and designed a mobile educational system to enable nomad children to continue to learn during their migrations.
Due to his efforts, the first nomad school began educating the Qashqai tribesmen in the Fars region in 1951 and the system was expanded to other Iranian nomadic regions.

You can get more information from the OSF/Motif Reference guide. In my humble opinion, it's dry but informative; the guide will supply you with all the information you could possibly want about these commands.
Let's see about defining your own menu items. The following could be a sample menu item:
Menu MyGames { "Kamran Games" f.title no-label f.separator "Tetris" f.exec "xtetris &" "Mahhjong" f.exec "xmahjongg &" "Chess" f.exec "xchess &" }
The f.title action specifies a heading for the submenu. The f.separator draws a line under the title. The f.exec fires up the command shown in double quotes.
Note the ampersand in f.exec for starting these tasks in the background. Do not start a task that may never return and thus hang up your mwm session.
Now, you can add this new menu to the root menu by adding the following line in your DefaultRoot-Menu definitions:
"Utils" f.menu MyGames
The key and button bindings work in the same way as menus. The first obvious difference is the extra column with the words icon, frame, window, and root in it. These words force the bindings on the context. The root applies to any location of the
pointer on the root window, the frame or window keywords apply binding only when the pointer is in a window or its frame. The icon bindings apply to icons.
In your .Xdefaults file, refer to these key bindings for the class Mwm:
Mwm*keyBindings: DefaultKeyBindings
Here are some of the descriptions in the key bindings:
Shift<Key>Escape window|icon f.post_wmenu Alt<Key>space window|icon f.post_wmenu Alt<Key>Tab root f.menu DefaultRootMenu
The syntax for a keystroke binding is
in which modifier is Alt, Control, or Shift. The key can be a keystroke, function key, and so on. The first two declarations describe the same action: show the window menu, but with different keystrokes. The third key binding shows a method for
displaying the root menu.
The button bindings are the bindings for your buttons. The three important bindings to remember are as follows:
Buttons DefaultButtonBindings Buttons ExplicitButtonBindings Buttons PointerButtonBindings
In your .Xresource or .Xresources file, refer to one of these button bindings for the class Mwm as
Mwm*buttonBindings: DefaultButtonBindings
Mwm*buttonBindings: ExplicitButtonBindings
Mwm*buttonBindings: PointerButtonBindings
This is done by using some of the client software that comes with your X11R6 distribution. We will cover the following applications:
* xsetroot * xset * xdpyinfo * xmodmap
There are several more utilities in the /usr/bin/X11 directory for you to play with: bitmap, xmag, xcalc, and so on. Check each one out to customize your desktop. The ones described here are not so intuitively obvious.
This client customizes the root window characteristics. Here are some of the options available:
Look in the /usr/lib/X11 directory of the file called rgb.txt for a list of colors, and look at the later section on colors in this chapter for more information.
See the man pages for additional features for xsetroot.
The cursorfile is an ASCII file with arrays of characters. You create a bitmap using the bitmap utility. Then, run this bitmap through bmtoa to convert a bitmap to arrays. There is a reverse utility called atobm to convert existing arrays to bitmaps, for use with the bitmap editor.
This command sets up some of the basic options on your environment. Some of these options may not work on your particular system. It's worth it to check these out.
Set your bell volume with this command:
xset b volume frequency durationInMilliseconds.
For example, the command
xset b 70 4000 60
sets the keyboard bell to about 70 percent of maximum, a frequency of 4000 Hz, and on for 60 milliseconds.
To turn on the speaker, use the following command:
xset b on
To turn it off, type this:
xset b off
Turning the speaker back on will return the volume to its default.
Use xset c volume to set the keyclick volume in percentages. A volume setting of 0 turns it off. Any other number (1 through 100) turns it on for that percentage. Of course, for this command to work, you must have your speaker turned on.
To set the mouse speed, use the following command at the prompt:
xset m acceleration threshold
The acceleration is the number of times faster than the threshold that each mouse movement travels. This way, you can zip across the screen with a twitch. Use care in setting this feature unless you are very dexterous.
Use xset s seconds to enable the screen saver. You can turn off the screen saver with the off option. The default option reverts to system default time for blanking the screen.
For more options type in xset.
For example, to load your own fonts, use the following command:
$ xset fp /user/home/myfont,/usr/lib/X11/fontsdir $ xset fp rehash
The rehash command forces the server to reread its systems files for your command to take effect.
To restore to normal, use the following command:
$ xset fp default $ xset fp rehash
See the section, "Fonts," later in this chapter.
The xdpyinfo utility gives you more information about your X server. It is used to list the capabilities of your server and all predefined parameters for it. Some of these include the following:
The list is too exhaustive to included here, and will be different for your installation. Pipe its output to a file, and review it for information about the server. Your output may look different. (See Listing 23.4.)

If you are a left-handed user, it might a bit uncomfortable to use the "left" button with your third or second finger. The X designers kept you in mind. If you want to swap the functionality of the pointers on your mouse or pointer, use the
xmodmap command. First, display the current mappings like so:
xmodmap -pp
You see the following display:
Physical Button Button Code 1 1 2 2 3 3
This shows you that button code 1 is mapped to physical button 1, button code 2 is mapped to physical button 2, and button code 3 is mapped to physical button 3.
Now issue this command:
xmodmap -e 'pointer = 3 2 1'
This reverses the mappings on the buttons. Now, physical button 1 is mapped to button code 3, and so forth. To confirm this, retype the xmodmap -pp command.
Physical Button Button Code 1 3 2 2 3 1
You can always revert to the default with xmodmap -e 'pointer = default'.
Some other standard input parameters that can be used to change the behavior of a window from the command line are as follows:
|-borderwidth or -bw
|Border width of pixels in the frame. This may not be available for all clients.
|-foreground or -fg
|The foreground color. For example, this can be the text color for an xterm.
|-background or -bg
|The background color. For example, this can be the text color for an xterm.
|Display on which the client runs.
|-font or -fn
|The font to use for a particular text display.
|Specifies the geometry.
|Starts the application in an iconic form.
|-rv or -reverse
|Swaps foreground and background colors.
|The title for the title bar.
|The name for the application.
Of course, the man pages on an application can give you more detailed information than one chapter in a guide. Explore a little. For example, you can call one terminal name editor, and set your resources in the .Xresources file for name editor.
-display nodename:displayname.ScreenName
This starts up a remote session on another node. The displayname and ScreenName are optional and default to zero if not entered.
You can log into remote machines by using the xterm -display option, provided you have set your Linux machine up for networks. The remote system must allow you to open a display on its machine. This is done with the xhost + command on its machine. The
xhost + command is dangerous because it allows anyone to access your machine, so use it cautiously.
When you want to open an xterm on the remote machine, alma, run this command:
xterm -display alma:0.0 &
The format for the option into the display parameter is as follows:
If you are given permission to open a display, you are logged into the remote machine. You can verify this with the uname command. Check the DISPLAY with the echo $DISPLAY command.
When you log out with the exit command, the remote session and the xterm are terminated.
One of the most common reasons for not being able to open a remote terminal is that the remote host does not allow you to open windows there. Ask the remote users to use the xhost command at the remote machine as a part of their login.
All the colors in the X Window system are located in the /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt file. This file consists of four columns. The first three columns specify red, green, and blue values; the last entry specifies the name that you can use in your parameters.
A partial listing of the rgb.txt file is shown in Listing 23.5.

Because red, green, and blue have 256 values each, the number of possible colors is 16,777,216. Not many workstations can display that many colors at one time. So, X uses a facility to map these colors onto the display, called a colormap. A color
display uses several bits for displaying entries from this map. The xdpyinfo program gives you the number of bits for the display. This is a frame buffer. A 1-bit frame signifies a black-and-white display. An 8-bit frame buffer signifies 2 to the power of
8 entries, or 256 possible colors.
Unfortunately, due to different phosphors on different screens, your color specification on one monitor may be completely different on another monitor. Tektronix provides a tool called xtici, an API, and docs to counter such problems by using the
international CIEXYZ standard for color specifications. This is called the Color Management System (CMS), which uses a model called HVC (Hue-Value-Chroma). In the X11R5 (or later) release, look for Xcms for more details, or contact Tektronix.
Fonts in the X Window system are designed for maximum flexibility. The following are two good utilities to help you sift through some of the 400 or so font types on a basic system:
|Lists the fonts in your system.
|Enables you to interactively see what fonts are available on your system and what they look like on the screen.
First, let's examine the font names themselves. Use the xlsfonts command to list the fonts on your system. Type the command on an xterm, and because the listing from xlsfonts is very long, be sure to pipe to a text file for review. You should see a
listing in which each line is of this form:
The foundry is the company that first developed the font. The most common ones are misc, Adobe, Bitstream, and B&H. You may see more on your system from the results of your xlsfonts command. A foundry of misc implies a font with fixed width and
height per character; the rest were donated by their respective manufacturers.
The family is the general type of font: Courier, Helvetica, New Century Schoolguide, Lucida, and so on. Some families are monospaced, meaning that all their characters have the same width. The other families are proportionally spaced, meaning that each
character has a separate width. Courier and Lucida are monospaced fonts. New Century Schoolguide is proportionally spaced.
Use monospaced information for tabular information or running text. This makes your text line up cleanly in running displays. Proportionally spaced fonts are helpful for text in buttons or menu items.
The wt and sl parameters stand for weights and slants, respectively. The common weights are bold and medium. Bold text is drawn with a thicker pen than the normal pen. The common slants are (r) roman, (o) oblique, and (i) italic. The roman text is drawn
upright, and oblique text has characters sheared to the right. The italic text is similar to oblique text, but the characters are touched up to show a smoother effect. You may also have reverse oblique (ro) and reverse italic (ri), which make the text lean
to the left instead of the right.
The p stands for the point size, which traditionally is 1/72 of an inch. Most monitors support only 75 or 100 dots per inch (dpi) resolution. Because X fonts are bitmaps, it seems logical that the most common fonts within X are of two types: 75dpi and
This number is found in the two fields hr and vr, which stand for the horizontal and vertical resolution, respectively. In almost all cases, you specify either 75 or 100 in each of these fields.
The sp refers to the spacing between two characters on the screen. This can be m for monospaced, p for proportional, or c for fixed fonts that have each character occupy a fixed box.
The ave is 1/10 of the average width of all the characters in the set.
The character set and style is usually set to ISO8859-1. This refers to the ISO Latin-1 character set, which includes characters found in ASCII and other European character sets.
Now that you've seen the large number of options that can define a font, you can rely on using wildcards to specify most of the options for a font. The server matches the first font name that matches your specification with a wildcard. In other words,
you only have to specify the parameters you want to change, and use the asterisk for the rest.
For example, *courier-roman gets the first specification for the roman-weighted Courier font. However, *courier gets the bold Courier font. This is because the bold specification exists before the roman specification in the fonts file.
Use the xset fp=fontpath command to set the directory (75 or 100 dpi) you want searched first in the front of the font path. This guarantees that the correct dpi size directory is searched first.
The font search path is the path used by the server to search for the fonts in your system. This path is usually set to the following value:
In each of these directories is a file called fonts.dir. This is a list of all the fonts in the directory, and has two entries per line. The first entry gives a font filename; the second entry gives the complete font description. The first line in the
file gives the number of entries in the file.
Font names are not case-sensitive. New Century Schoolguide is the same as new century schoolguide.
You can create another file in the font path to alias your own font names by using the file called fonts.alias. The server uses only the first one it finds in its path, so just keep one such file in the first directory in your font path. The fonts.alias
format is very similar to the fonts.dir file, except that the first entry is not a filename; it is an alias for a font name. So, if you want to specify a special font type for all your editor xterms, you need the following line:
editterm *lucida-medium-r-*-100*
Then, you can invoke your xterm with this command:
xterm -fn editterm &
This gets an xterm window with the desired font, and is a lot better than typing in the full font specification. Also, by changing the alias once, you can change it for all scripts that use this alias, rather than modifying each script individually.
A good place to start is the /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc directory, where a fonts.alias exists from your initial X installation. This file has the fixed and variable aliases defined for you to work with.
The xfontsel program helps you get a better feel for some of the parameters of a particular font. (See Figure 23.11.)
Figure 23.11. Using xfontsel.
You can move your pointer to any one of the parameters in the first line and click Button1. As you move the pointer on a field, it draws a box around itself to show that it has focus.
If any fonts options exist for your selection, you are presented with a pop-up menu to select from. Move the mouse to a selection, and click on the selection. You see your selection displayed in the font specification string, as well as a sample of what
the font will look like on the fonts display screen below that.
In Chapter 32, "Motif for Programmers," you will learn how to program your application.
If you want more information about specific vendors, you can get a wealth of information from the Internet about the latest releases and sources to shareware utilities. Listed in Table 23.3 are some of the newsgroups that can provide you with more
information about vendors.
A good starting point for progammers is the site at arachnid.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/X_lecture/X_lecture.

Improve your overall functioning, and take your goals to the next level in 30 days
Nutrition and exercise are a package deal when it comes to weight loss, but what's nearly as important in the equation are sleep, recovery, and prioritizing yourself.
Over the next four weeks, I want you to join me in a challenge to improve all aspects of our daily functioning to take your results, and life, to the next level. Some of you reading this may already feel as though you're on top – which I commend you for! However, I urge you to adopt the mindset that you can always improve in some area of your life. Take a moment to reflect on your current lifestyle and identify areas that could reach a new level.
• If your sleep hygiene isn't the best, this challenge is for you.
• If you find yourself struggling to bounce back after rigorous exercise or an exhaustive day, this challenge is for you.
• If by the end of each day you feel as if everything else came before you and there is no time left for your own needs, this challenge is for you.
• If stress (we all have it) is cutting into your sleep, draining you, consuming your mind, or keeping you from attaining your goals in any way, this challenge is for you!
• If even just one of these applies to you – know that this challenge will push you to fine tune your functioning. If more than one of these seem to be for you, trust that by the end of these four weeks you will be feeling brand new!
In preparation, I ask you to set a target goal, whether it be weight loss, improving a specific muscle group/toning a certain area of your body, or simply living/feeling better about yourself. Get a notebook, or clear out some space in your phone/computer to keep tabs on the changes you're making and reflect on your progress. Lastly, mark your calendar, set reminders to check in, or follow me on social media (insert links here or below) to make sure you don't miss out on this month-long journey to getting your goals #TheCallietWay. New blog material will be posted on Monday and Friday of each week throughout this challenge.
I will be sharing with you my keys to success for weight loss and overall mental, physical, and emotional well-being. The keys I'm giving you will include:
• The importance of putting yourself first – even when others depend on you.
• The bright side of stress, and how to prevent the negative effects of it's dark side taking over your life.
• The effects of sleep debt and managing deficits with proper sleep hygiene.
• The body's incredible ability to recover, and how to train your body to bounce back.
• Looking forward to having you join me and can't wait to share what helps me stay on top of my game!
