A woman has many decisions and sacrifices to make when balancing work and family. Ann-Marie Slaughter is the author of “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All” where she explains what it is like to hold a higher ranking position and have children at home. She begins by building her credibility with personal facts and sources, citing other women in younger and older generations. Slaughter fills her essay with high emotion to empower women to be able to have a higher profession without giving up the time with the ones you love. She describes what it is like to lead her business life, and struggle to guide her children, when she doesn’t even have time for herself.

In the book Among the Hidden, the author uses a very selective choice of vocabulary to convey the mood of events in the story. The mood that the author described is one that is very depressing.

Working full time and being a full time student, I realize how quickly time passes. I start my day by waking up early in the morning, heading off to work, then commuting to Fresno to attend school. As my lifestyle continues to consistently change, I find myself focusing on tasks that need to be done instead of taking time to focus on my self-care. Whether it’s getting caught up on work email or finishing an essay for school, I always put my self-care on the back burner, which results in feelings of being stressed. For my self-care plan, I want to create a plan that will allow myself time to focus on my self-care in order to reduce stress and exhaustion in my life that I experience on a daily basis.

However, (Kidd, Graor, & Murrock, 2013) proposed a theoretical basis of the self-regulation theory (Schwartz, 1975), which suggests that the regulation of internal physiologic processes such as heart rate, blood pressure, etc., relies upon on the capability to observe internal responses (Schwartz, 1975). The authors noted that emotional eaters might be unable to differentiate between hunger (an internal physiologic process) and automatic, emotion-driven eating, which then leads to overeating and thus contributes to obesity. However, treating the dysfunction of self-regulation may restore balance between emotional and internal physiologic cues, leading to weight regulation (Kidd et al., 2013). Research shows that mindfulness-based interventions have successfully treated disorders of self-regulation, as the psychological and emotional benefits of mindfulness, such as the containment and down-regulation of negative emotional responses (J. J. arch, & Landy, L.N., 2015; J. J. Arch et al., 2016; J. J. Arch & Craske, 2006), may create the space for more positive responses, as evidenced by findings by (J. J. Arch et al., 2016). This study found that their brief mindfulness intervention led to consumption of less calories from unhealthy foods, which was mediated by greater eating enjoyment (Arch et al., 2016). One would think that if the enjoyment of eating were increased through a mindful intervention, one

Part 1: Among the Hidden is about a boy named Luke. He is what you would call a shadow child. Lukes mom was NOT supposed to have more than two kids because of government rules. She already has had two boys. Luke was a mistake, he has never had a birthday. Has never had to go to schools or make any friends. There was no one like him… or so he thought. One day he was home alone and he snuck outside. He noticed large mansions that were being built so more people could move next door. This meant that luke could probably never go outside without being seen. If he was seen this would mean that he would have to be killed. If this happened it would not be a good thing. Time skips ahead and all of the houses are built. He’s up in

Psychological issues normally involve food being used as a comfort for some stressor that has become present in the person’s life. These individuals turn to food to contend and manage certain mood swings or the up and downs that are present in day to day challenges. These changes could be triggered from stress, being lonely, or frustration. When they become upset, they turn to food as a comfort like a baby to a pacifier. The comfort or high like effect is only temporary as the weight piles on with every calorie that is taken in and not burned off. The resulting guilt may cause this process to occur many times throughout the day, developing into a continuous pattern of using substance to deal with psychological imbalances. Unfortunately, this scenario plays out all too many times in America.

I took this opportunity to understand my unhealthy habits and transform my behavior. In my Wellness Recovery Action Plan, the information brought light to the obstacles and how to overcome issues. After filling out the Schedule of Recent Experience (Wieitan et al., 2009) and Tactics for Coping with Stress (Weitian et al., 2009), it was a shock how much I put my body through. A finalized copy of my results can be observed in Appendix A, and the results of the Schedule of Recent Experience (Weitian et al., 2009) can be viewed in Appendix B. In the outcome, I conducted coping mechanisms such as therapy, exercise, and nutrition. Nutrition has been a challenge as a waitress and full-time student. I am always around food at work that led to overeating.

Hidden in Plain Sight, discusses the School of the Americas and how graduates from that school have committed atrocities in Latin America. From what we can see in the video and the reading fro class, the United States did not care about the civilian population. All they cared for was if the people they liked stayed in power and whether those leaders would welcome American companies into their countries. I believe that the United States did not deliberately train soldiers in the School of the Americas to go on and kill people. Rather, they trained the soldiers knowing that they would go on and kidnap and torture people, of course, the Americans did not care. As long as those soldiers were also fighting “communist”

The second component of the Orem’s theory, Self-care deficit, is the inability for individual or parent to care themselves or provide care to maintain well being or health and is the situation when nursing is needed. In these circumstances, Orem indicates that nursing care and interventions are needed when the patient is in the self-care deficit. This is accomplished by offering physical and psychological support, teaching, and providing an environment to promote personal development to meet the patient needs. Nursing care will provide aid if the patient is not able to shave or wash themselves, or a guide if patient needs support when using their walking aid. Patient may also need emotional support, training and education to provide self-care if they are able but lack the skills. Nurses must assess the type of self-care deficits and provide nursing intervention as needed.
