Fear Not: Be still and know……………….
So much of the world today is in a state of panic, anxiety, and fear which are all low-level vibrations that cause stress and lower our resistance to infection thus making us more susceptible to the things that we are afraid of. This “fear” causing our immune system greater stress.
I want to encourage you to be proactive rather than reactive so that we become less vulnerable to the thing that we fear. In other words, we attract what we think about. Every word we speak and hear participates in the strengthening or weakening of the immune system. Negative emotions and lies impact us just as bacteria or drugs.
We have an ongoing problem. It is the threat of chronic lifestyle-related diseases. According to the CDC in 1990 20% of the deaths in the US were related to chronic disease. Today, that number has risen to nearly 75% or 1.7 million US lives annually. And globally, the WHO estimates that 40 million people die each year of chronic disease. Once this coronavirus crisis has passed, and it will, we must refocus our energy and attention on the epidemic of dietary and lifestyle-related diseases and how we affect change in the lives of our patients, healthcare systems, public policy, and nations around the world. We must get begin to think and plan what happens after this period has passed.
During this season, I want to encourage you to take time to care for yourself and maintain resilience, vitality, and strength by living a healthy lifestyle.
In fact, I am challenging myself to “double down” on more nutrient-rich plants, fasting, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. Yes, I must be honest in saying, I had gotten off track in some areas and this was a timely reminder for me to slow down and stay focused on what matters most, a path that I began 26 years ago.
We must develop a sense of oneness with the environment and realize our dependence on it.
I encourage you to:
Stay Positive
Stay Calm
Take control of your focus and attitude
Be thoughtful and compassionate toward others
Slow down and focus on what matters most to you
Keep your heart free of hate and greed.
Find something to be thankful for every day.
Stay strong, take care of each other, and let’s get through this together.
Let me know how you are practicing self-care. Are you exercising, eating right on your “good” china, laughing, crying, connecting with a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while, taking a long hot bath, soaking your feet, planting flowers, playing in the dirt, singing out loud or reading a good book?????
