The Flu Slayer

The flu season is upon us!

The four times that I did have the flu and I felt I definitely was going to die, made me just a bit paranoid. When October comes and people around us start sneezing and coughing and looking like they about to have the flu, I wish we could pack up and go somewhere nice and warm where the word Influenza does not even exist.

The are three types of the influenza viruses that can affect people: Type A, Type B, and Type C. The virus is spread by droplets traveling through the air, quite short distances up to 3 feet – enough to spread it by coughing or sneezing. Touching surfaces that have been contaminated by the virus and then touching the eyes and the mouth can also spread the disease. Yearly flu vaccinations are recommended, unfortunately, very often the predicted virus is not the one that is prevalent, thus the vaccine may be ineffective. Washing hands and wearing a surgical mask helps, but is not always convenient.

What else can we do to protect ourselves from this nasty disease?

Show Up for Yourself

Guess what I found tucked away in the back of my closet – a vision board I created in 2008. That year I decided to change my life and I involved myself in a multi-level marketing business selling skin care with the hopes of becoming rich and financially independent. My vision board was filled with magazine cut-outs representing the things I wanted as a result of my new career and success: a dream home, a luxury car, exotic vacations and leisure time spent sipping cocktails surrounded by my friends and family. I smiled at each image and then thought to myself: “So, what happened? Why am I not there?” We are still at the same house, NOT driving a luxurious car, still heavily relying on my nursing job to meet our financial obligations, still dreaming of a better life …

The vision board did not help much, obviously. The new business, well, I know I did not treat it as such, it was more of a hobby, I did have a real job, after all … Who knows what could have and would have happened had I really invested all my effort and time in it …

As the years went by, I learned a lot, though. I realized that no vision board or New Year’s resolutions, or list of goals would guarantee this new life. The only thing that matters is ACTION.

A lot of what I did was pretending I was working towards a change. I bought yet another book on a start-up business, I watched motivational videos, I read blog posts and articles – all with the intent of preparing myself to take action and start working on my goals.

I finally realized it was all excuses.

I needed to stop pretending to be working on my dreams.

I needed to make a commitment and show up for myself.

I started to take action. Some of the steps I took were spontaneous, some had to be schedule. And out of new respect for myself, I’d show up at the scheduled appointment with myself and perform a planned task. It took time and effort. It was painful at times. I sacrificed watching some of my Netflix shows or going out with my girlfriends. But, a new habit of doing was created in me, and I just kept on going. Today, my mindset is different. I still read motivational books and watch videos, but I immediately put in action what I learned and it amazes me how many of new ideas and strategies I learned.

Here is a list of things you can do to make changes that do not require a major effort, but will start a new thinking and a shift in your perception of yourself and your future.
