When paramedics, doctors, and everyday people learn how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, they’re taught an easy way to remember, how to focus, and proceed with simplicity and speed to save a life. If you find someone on the ground unconscious, you assess the airway, check for breathing, and evaluate blood circulation. Thus, the three keywords for CPR are:
“Airway, Breathing, and Circulation”
These are the ABCs of CPR, and they saved my life. The resuscitation of my body, as well as my way of thinking, living, and working inspired me to create The ABCs of Life, which are:
“Acknowledgement, Breathing, and Compassion”
When you apply The ABCs of Life in conjunction with The Kindness Scale, you can chart a course to a new dream for your life on every level. I created the following chart to illustrate how this works:
