The Dreaded "C" Word. (Covid, not the other one)

13/2/2021

0 Comments

 
If anyone had asked me about the "C" word in 2019, I would have replied that I did not use that word, and please do not use it in my company. Today in 2021, I say the same even though I know it's not the same word they referred to in 2019, and it is the hot topic in all conversations, therefore unavoidable most days, so I had to find a way to live with it and stay sane and healthy.
The Dreaded
The thing about the "C" word is that it causes so much anxiety, defensiveness, separation, and hopelessness in so many. This, in turn, leads to tension and stress. 
When medical research estimates as much as 90 percent of illness and disease is stress-related, it makes sense to avoid unnecessary stress. 
How to do that in today's environment?
What if there was a way?
What if I told you that you had all the tools you needed to relieve and redress stress?
You were born with these tools.
You do not need to go out and buy them.
All you have to do is identify them, access them, and unleash them.

Is it fear or excitement?

                                        Is this Fear or Excitement? 
Feeling excitement is feeling fear with a KNOWN outcome.
Excitement is predictable fear.
​What is fear? What is excitement?
Is it fear or excitement?

Emotion: a strong feeling
E-motion: energy in motion


Excitement is predictable fear.
​Pretty much the same physiological process is at work in your body during excitement or fear except, when you are excited it activates the reward centre of your brain at the same time.


Everything that you feel is emotion (or E-motion) . What does that mean? 
The Latin derivative for the word emotion, emotere, literally means energy in motion.
You were born with a sixth sense–emotion.
Like your other five senses, this is not something you learned; emotion is the awareness you have which communicates satisfaction or dissatisfaction/ease or dis-ease.

Pivot point: Your emotions are your unique internal guidance system (Inner GPS), letting you know when you have disconnected from your inner knowing of what is right for you.

​Picture this scenario:
A child is visiting the fairground for the first time. All around him, he sees these incredible rides. It is so new and exciting. They get to the big wheel; it looks enormous. It is going round and round so fast. It is very high. All those people looking down on him seem so far away. As they approach the ticket gate, he feels something in his belly, a strange feeling. It is a strong feeling, different from anything he has ever felt in his 5 young years.
His mother, sensing the change in him, grips his hand tighter and says it’s ok, don’t feel scared. I am right by your side. I am keeping you safe. Oh, he thinks, I’m scared. So, this is how fear feels.

Another child is standing close by. He has the same sensations and feelings when he is looking at this gigantic wheel. His mother senses the change in him too, and as he grasps her hand, she looks at him and says, this is going to be so exciting for you, a new experience, and I am right by your side, keeping you safe. Oh, he thinks, I’m excited. So, this is what it feels like to be excited.

Both these children will have a unique experience during the ride, and they will associate the feeling they have in different ways throughout their life.

This example may seem too simplistic for many of you. Yet when you understand how your feelings and emotions affect your body, you can see that this kind of experience, especially as a child, can have a profound effect on your life.

Pivot point: Feeling excited is feeling fear with a KNOWN outcome.

~Your immune system -  your body's              natural defence system ~

10/12/2020

Healing is meant to be simple, Linda Ledwidge, Mallorca, Majorca, Immune system, Health

Think for a minute. When you cut yourself, do you worry that it will keep bleeding out and not heal? Usually, the answer to that will be no-we know that in a healthy body, the blood will clot and the cut will heal.
When you break a bone, sometimes you need to have it "set" so it heals properly. The doctor will align the bone to make sure it knits together optimally, but the body does the healing. If you leave the bone misaligned, it will still knit together and heal. 

The trick is to know when you need to give your body a bit of help.
Some of the times when you need to help your body are:
  • Pregnancy
  • If you cannot eat a healthy balanced diet
  • When you are vulnerable to viruses and bacterial infections
In this post, I would like to focus on strengthening the immune system right now as winter is here, and we have some "little critters" around.
In a nutshell, what happens is whenever you get some kind of attack your immune system kicks in to defend you. It has three lines of defence (soldiers) that keep your body safe. Your body is very clever. 
  1. The first line are the protectors - your skin and mucous membrane that runs throughout your body, and your tears, sweat, saliva are all part of the first line. They are the foot soldiers, the infantry. They sound the alarm and often defeat the enemy. 
  2. The second line is your innate immune response -these cells are different, they identify and destroy the attacker if they get past the foot soldiers. They are the jet fighters and paratroopers - the big guns. If the enemy is overwhelming, they will send an SOS for more help. They often defeat the enemy and send a message to mount a strategic defence against further attacks. 
  3. The third line is your adaptive immune response - this is where it gets interesting. They are the generals - building a solid defence. These cells are specific to the attackers (adapted). This is your inbuilt defence strategy. It takes time to develop and to build immunity. They help your body to build a defence that can quickly and effectively attack the invader next time. They develop your long- term defence/immunity. 
So, how can you help maintain a strong immune system?
  • Breathe. Yes, you would not be walking around if you were not breathing; however, conscious, focused breathing is fundamental for a healthy body and immune system.  
  • Redress your stress. Stress is healthy, yes you heard me correctly. However, chronic or long-term stress compromises your immune system and leaves you open to attack. By identifying and redressing your daily stressors, you will improve your immune health. 
  • Get enough sleep. When you are asleep your body is regenerating, self-healing, and excreting toxins. Lack of sleep can cause the body's stress response to remain activated leading to chronic stress. 
  • Stay hydrated. 
  • Eat nutritious food. Your body needs energy and nutrition to do its work. A balanced diet is important at any time in your life. 
  • Use supplements wisely. 
***** Please remember that we are all very different. We all have different lifestyles and diets. A healthy, balanced diet is always preferable to taking supplements, and just because a supplement is right for your friend does not mean it is right for you. The best thing is to speak to a nutritionist and have a full assessment done. This does not take long. ****

​Here are some supplements that help strengthen your immune system. 
Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant and also an essential nutrient. It boosts immunity, strengthens the skin´s defence system, and helps wounds heal quicker.
Foods rich in vitamin C include broccoli, cantaloupe, cauliflower, kale, kiwi, orange juice, papaya, red, green, or yellow pepper, sweet potato, strawberries, and tomatoes.

Vitamin D helps maintain strong bones and aids the absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate.
Foods that provide vitamin D include fatty fish, like tuna, mackerel, and salmon. Foods fortified with vitamin D, like some dairy products, orange juice, soy milk, and cereal, Beef liver, Cheese, Egg yolks.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and aids in fat absorption.
Foods rich in vitamin E include Sunflower seeds, Almonds, Avocados, Spinach, vegetable oils, meat, eggs.

Vitamin B6 plays a vital role in the health of the nervous system.
Vitamin B6 is in a wide variety of foods including pork, poultry, fish, bread, wholegrain cereals, wheat germ, and brown rice.

Zinc helps the immune system to fight bacteria and viruses
  • helps to heal the body
  • important for taste and smell
Foods rich in zinc include red meat, nuts, dairy, eggs, whole grains, seeds, and legumes.

Garlic
has been shown to:
  • Lower blood pressure and cholesterol
  •  act as a natural antibiotic
  • as an anti-inflammatory
  • strengthen the immune system

Echinacea is a herb. It has been identified as having anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant properties as well as strengthening the immune system.
 
Supplements are a HUGE subject, and I would not even try to go into too much detail; however, as I always say,
Keep It Super Simple.

FEAR is the fastest spreading virus known to mankind. Are you ready to take 100% responsibility for you?

2/5/2020

Are you ready to take 100% responsibility for you?

It is my belief that we must take responsibility, 100% responsibility , for our health and our actions.
The body has an inbuilt, natural defence system and by doing all that we can to get into optimal health and strengthen our immune system we are taking responsibility for our self AND at the same time protecting others.
In the weeks and months to follow there is going to be a lot of information out there, and you will wonder what is right or wrong.
Only you can decide on what works for you.

                          "FEAR is the fastest spreading virus known to mankind"
​

Stress, worry , anxiety, fear, all paralyse the immune system if left unchecked, and effectively mean that you are more susceptible to contracting and spreading any virus that is around.
The fear mongering and media frenzy is unlikely to be addressed therefore it is up to you to take control and arm yourself with the tools you need and get into optimal health!
​                                                  You have got this!

One of the tools I use is "Tapping" and this is a very effective tool for releasing anxiety and fear.
Whatever you use remember to K.I.S.S. - Keep It Super Simple. When we start to complicate things , that´s when we give up.
The Free Flo Living 4 pillars of health will give you the strong foundation to maintain and strengthen your immune system.
They are:
  • OXYGENATION - BREATHE CONSCIOUSLY AND DEEPLY
  • HYDRATION - DRINK ENOUGH WATER TO HAVE FLOW THROUGH THE BODY
  • RELAXATION - FIND THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO RELIEVE TENSION IN THE MIND & BODY
  • EQUATION - MAINTAIN THE BODY'S NATURAL BALANCE

                              "There are and will always be viruses out there.
     The only way to live in this world is to protect ourselves, physically and mentally."


There are many ways to do that and we are always learning more.
You will hear about vaccines, hand washing, masks, gloves, etc.. however, NONE of these will protect you as well as your own mind & body.....use whatever means you feel are right but
don´t forget about the power of your own health and immune system.

NOW is the time to recognise that you have the power, you have the control.
Do not give it away to anyone else!

Take your power back!

You have power over your mind

Are you ready to take 100% responsibility for you?
What does that even mean ?
Well when we make other people or events responsible for how we feel, our actions and our responses, in effect we give them power over us.
We give away our power!
Now, how does that make you feel?
Do you want to have the power to live your life, do the things you want, be happy?

                                                                 OR

Do you want to give that away to others?
Stop and think about that........
Every time you say, he / she / it made me feel...., he / she / it did that and that made me do this......
You are giving your power away.
Nobody can make you feel or do anything that you do not want to feel or do.
​No one else is responsible for your happiness, or your unhappiness for that matter, only you.
If you find yourself in a situation where you feel that someone or something is making you feel or act a certain way that you are not happy with and you cannot change the person or thing , what do you do?
You change the way you look at / react to it.
        When you change the way you look at things....
 The things you look at change.
​      ~ Wayne Dyer ~

100% responsibility


You have response - ability.
Take your power back.
Take 100% responsibility
Be happy! 
 Be Healthy!

​We all know that we have within us a natural defense system called our immune system, don´t we?
Your body is so amazing that it knows how to heal itself and given the right conditions it will happen.
