If there’s no breath in your body, there’s difinatley no motivation. Living with Asthma you will difinately find yourself in situations that will cause you to live in restaints. It’s up to you how those restraints restrict you from doing the things you enjoy or are gifted to do.
My motivation today is my oldest daughter. The reason that I have chosen her to be my motivation….Her ability to be an athlete although she is effected by Asthma. She has not allowed her restraint (Asthma), to stop her from doing something she enjoys. When I was growing up with Asthma, my only medication was an Inhaler. Today, they have medication to control your Asthma as well as to relieve Asthma. The control medication is a medicine taken on a daily basis. The reliever medication is taken when needed.
When we lived in the City, we were fortunate that my daughters school had a class for Asthmatics. In this class they learned; what is Asthma, triggers, control and a plan. This was beneficial because she knows if there’s a trigger, she has to take her medication. Days like today… It’s nice outside, my kids are out playing and when they come inside most likely my son will be the one coughing. Since he hasn’t had the training my daughter had. I have to remind him that it’s time to take his medication or before he goes out to play, he should take his medicine. However,that’s what Mama’s are for.
You don’t have to have Asthma to deal with retraints in your life. There could be a job restraint or the lack thereof, financial, education or personal. When we have these restaints in our life, unless we know how to control it… it will control us. Being under the control of any restraint will cause us to loose motivation. How do you stay motivated?
Just like Asthma you must:
1.What is your restaint?
2.What causes your restraint?
3.What controls your restraint?
4.A plan to overcome your restraints
What areas in you life can you or should you get under control? Wouldn’t you agree that you will be motivated to do some of the things you want to do if it was under control?
@Jean, Wow. Thank God they were wrong.
Jaylen had it for a about a year, but they realized they misdiagnosed.
Asthma is very scary. You are an awesome mom for getting the best treatments for your kids.

Liz, that’s great you didn’t let it stop you.
That’s great he grew out of it.
They have come such a long way with asthma. It’s remarkable how much activity can take place these days! My son suffered from it but grew out of it by middle school.
Good for your daughter! I had it too when I was younger. I played soccer, and the springtime was always hard on my lungs as it was.
