Problem: Article: Make sure the user knows where they are going, and that you are transferring them into the lift for this purpose. Describe each step so they know what you are doing and can help you to the extent of their ability. The loops should be facing the front, and the arch of the "u" at the top. The ends of the "u" are going to criss-cross under the legs, so they need to be lowest. Pull the slings down between the user's back and the chair with short, tugging motions. Make sure that the end of the fabric makes it down far enough to cover the user's hips. The base moves on casters and becomes wider and thinner at the front below the cradle in order to be able to get closer to the user's position.  Open or close the front of the base of the lift apparatus as is appropriate in order to get the cradle directly over the user. Use a foot pedal or shifting lever on the back of the base of the lift apparatus to control the width of the legs.  Always widen the legs as much as possible before lifting.  Always lock the wheels of the wheelchair in place before lifting. You can also secure the chair against a wall or have an assistant stand behind the chair to stabilize it. There may be adjustable loops for behind the user's shoulders so you can work with the user to find the most comfortable fit. Hook these loops to the hooks on the swivel bar at the end of the boom.  Cross the leg loops under the user's legs. Make sure the left loop is reaching across to hook to the right hook, while the right loop is reaching across to hook to the left hook, and that the hooks won't interfere with the motion of the boom. This criss-cross helps the user's legs stay together and keeps the user from slipping out of the sling. Note that not all lifts have this cross-cross—some are straight across. Hook the flap for neck support if the user is not able to hold up their head. This flap should be left unhooked for users who can hold their heads up. Watch to make sure the loops are well secured. Lift until the patient is clear of the chair and check that everything is secure and comfortable before proceeding. Unlock the wheels and steer the lift to its new destination. Adjust the width of the wheels if necessary, but only after the boom has been raised to the correct height. The user should be facing the mast of the lift. Position the user carefully so they will be comfortable and secure when you lower them into place. Always do this using the pump lever, for manual lifts, or the electronic controls, for powered lifts. Make sure the user is comfortable, with the hips as far back as possible if the transfer is onto another chair. Tug gently upwards to slid out the sling if the user is in a chair. If they are lying down, roll them gently to one side, fold the sling, then roll them to their other side to remove the folded sling.
Summary: Explain what you are doing as you go. Position the u-sling behind the user. Shimmy the slings down behind the user. Bring the lift apparatus over to the chair and widen the legs. Hook the loops on the sides of the u-sling to the cradle. Lift the cradle slowly. Roll the lift with the sling and user in place slowly to the destination. Lock the wheels in place at their widest position above the new destination. Lower the boom slowly into position. Remove the sling once the user is secure.

Problem: Article: Smiling costs nothing and it helps you to glow. Smiling helps you to feel better. And it's one of the best things you can give another human being. A smile will always make you look amazing. Change the things about you you're not happy with, but only because you know you can do or be better, not because someone else prefers you to be something else. Learn how to spot the difference; if you feel pressured, it usually means that someone or something else is raising your expectations to change, not you. That is a recipe for losing yourself, not gaining the best from yourself. Happiness is fleeting, contentment and fulfillment are enduring. Contentment with life isn't about getting stuck; it's about appreciating what you do have already and knowing that, in spite of setbacks (of which there will be plenty throughout life), you have the ability to keep going and to continually grow stronger. As the saying goes, everyone in life is doing it tough somewhere, some of the time. Kindness can be the helping hand that another person needs, and kind people are awesome. If that isn't about looking amazing, then what is?  Be nice to the people you come across in life. It takes the same amount of energy to be nice as it does to be mean, with the difference being that kindness opens up opportunities, while meanness shuts them down. Moreover, a mean-spirited heart carries many a burden that a kindhearted person doesn't have to bear. Being kind and thoughtful towards others has its own attractiveness; you can feel like a role model for the better world we'd all like to live in.
Summary:
Smile a lot more. Accept who you are. Seek to be fulfilled. Be kind to people.
