Article: . Self-acceptance is an important piece of being able to love yourself and keep yourself happy. Accept yourself for who you currently are instead of focusing too much on trying to change yourself. Use positive self-talk by thinking or telling yourself things like, "I love who I am. I accept everything about myself right now even things I want to change. How I am right at this moment is completely fine." Acknowledging the wonderful things about yourself can help you develop happiness about who you are. Reminding yourself about these qualities when things get tough can help you maintain a sense of well-being about your identity. You are unique and special. Make a mental or actual list of everything that you like about yourself. Read this list or remind yourself of it the next time you feel down on yourself. Some examples include liking your: personality, hair, passion, eyes, sense of style, compassion, and adventurous attitude. Kindness is a great quality to have. Count the times that you were kind to someone this week. You can write them down in a journal or Word document. Paying attention to the times you were kind can actually increase your level of happiness. We all have things we'd like to improve upon, and that is okay. However, don't dwell on your flaws look at them as opportunities for personal growth. Being open to new experiences can help you focus on your personal growth. Try new things like different forms of art (painting, sculpting), traveling to new places, and trying things that scare you (i.e. public speaking). Notice and reward accomplishments and changes over time. This can help you focus on the positive changes you have made and encourage you to further your personal growth. Sometimes people can feel dissatisfied with what has occurred in their past life. Instead of thinking too much about the negative, focus on the positive aspects of your personal history. Make a list of every positive accomplishment you have made. Some examples may be: graduating from school, passing a test, finishing a project, or completing an art piece. Forgive yourself for past mistakes. Look at them as ways to learn and grow. Your mistakes do not define you. You can decide to grow and do better today.

Article: With this test, the doctor will take a small sample of muscle tissue. Typically, the doctor will use local anesthesia to numb the area, and then use a hollow needle to pull out the muscle tissue. The doctor or a technician will look at the sample under a microscope and run tests to check for certain levels of proteins. Under a microscope, the doctor will be looking for things like missing muscle fibers, which can indicate limb-girdle MD. If your muscle doesn't have enough of the protein dystrophin, that can indicate Becker MD or Duchenne MD. With this test, a needle is inserted in one of your muscles. The doctor will then run a light electrical current through your muscle. At the same time, they'll ask you to flex and relax your muscle. By studying the electrical pattern, the doctor can determine if you have a disease that's affecting your muscles. This test can also help them rule out other neurological disorders. The needle may be a little painful when it's inserted. The electrical charges will feel like a twinge or muscle spasm. The doctor uses these tests to check how these organs are functioning. With heart tests, the doctor will be listening for an irregular heartbeat to see if the heart has been damaged at all. With lung tests, the doctor will be checking function, as well as looking at how much nitric oxide you exhale. For instance, the doctor may run an echocardiogram, which is where they take an ultrasound of your heart to check its movement and function. Alternatively, they may take an electrocardiogram. With this test, they'll place electrodes on your chest, which are small disks that measure electricity. The doctor may have you take this test while resting or while doing exercise. Lung-functioning tests typically require you to breathe in a tube. Your doctor will likely use imaging tests, such as CT scans, MRIs, and x-rays, to help provide a diagnosis. These tests provide images of the inside of your body, helping the doctor to detect damage. For instance, the doctor may look for lung damage using an x-ray or use a CT scan to check for muscle damage throughout your body. These tests can help confirm the diagnosis and determine which kind of MD you have.
