We Are Alive! May 5th, 2022 Thriving When Weak

Dreaded Bug

So I finally got the bug - woke up around six with a sore throat and very lethargic. I got up to begin my normal routines, but quickly found myself back in bed. Had a cup of lemon honey tea and took some ibuprofen. Slept soundly until nine or so, got up and felt like I got hit with a Mack Truck, all 24 wheels. I was careful to eat some as I expected I would be skipping lunch.

I'm not naturally a "stay in bed" sort of guy, especially with so much activity in the house, but after some light activity, I let my body rest some more. I had to control my patience level as I found every sound and noise extremely irritating. But it doesn't have to be irritating, I don't have to allow it to be irritating. Once things quieted down, I slept for a long time. In the afternoon, I felt compelled to get up and get on a project, but after about an hour, I had to go back to rest mode.

My default is ALIVE+THRIVE, what's this lay in bed business?

How To Thrive When Weak

It's a mind game. I found myself saying in my head "you're not going to get anything done today" and "You're going to be exhausted" - I heard these things, but I refused to believe them! I corrected my thought pattern and intentionally thought "I'll get done today what needs to be done today" and "I will do it with all my might." Even if "what needs to be done today" is laying in bed resting, it's still getting done.

It's evening now and I'm getting my daily ALIVE post in. I'm thankful that the symptoms I'm experiencing seem to be lighter than what my children experienced... although if I'm continuing the pattern, I'll have some stomach and bathroom issues coming up. Blah. But no matter what, I'll get done today what needs to be done today. Everything else will be done later.

Dear readers, have you ever found yourself correcting your own thought patterns? Can you think of an example of this?

Had a cup of lemon honey tea

When I get cold, then I also drink lemon honey tea. Very often. And it greatly helps. Get well as soon as possible.

Dear readers, have you ever found yourself correcting your own thought patterns? Can you think of an example of this?

The nature of our thoughts. A change from general negative to a general positive. And also getting out of "circles". Probably not everyone understand this. I mean focusing your thoughts on certain negative things about various things, and mentoning them over and over again, as a kind of mantra. I was in this in the past. I got out of this circle. Nowadays I am trying to focus on various positive things. This is a great improvement.

I am glad to hear that you are breaking out of "circles", thought patterns that go around and around. It takes energy and diligence to control your own mind and thoughts, it is our responsibility to "take every thought captive."

I hope you get well soon, so sorry to hear that you're not well, I wish you and your kids quick recovery.

When my mind is telling me that I can't do my normal routine especially when I'm understand the weather, I try my possible best to ignore that voice.

Do have a lovely day and always remember to stay safe.

Thank you for your well wishes. It's important to look at a situation realistically then forbid thoughts that are unreasonable. Take every thought captive.

All the best with the recovery!

Sometimes, it is best to give your body the time it needs.

When it comes to intentionally altering your mindset, I've done it on a grand scale. Pulled out those dusty old skeletons in the closet, dusted them off, and packed them away for good!

Best thing I ever did. Looked at myself closely, and changed the negative ways.

I agree, piling through a normal day while sick will just bring more sickness and even less productivity.

I wish you speedy recovery, and I must commend your attitude towards change of minds pattern. That's actually great, but no matter how you do it, when the body is tired it drags everything with it especially when it's weak. Though it can allow some certain things to be done, you will feel the results when the body releases pains making you to withdraw.

Thank you! The biggest challenge is to settle the idea that my body needed rest and it was ok to stop for a while to allow it to heal. I couldn't allow myself to push too hard or feel sorry for myself, but to be ok about the decision.

So bad to hear about your illness @ironshield and I wish you quick recovery and it is great to know that you're able to beat your thoughts patter and get things done. That's so amazing and show strong you're.

Sometimes I was able to beat my own thoughts pattern and sometimes not because there are that I really want to do things but know how hard I tried, my body will still hold me back

To fight against a virus or any other disease you have indeed to use your brain, to recognize the symptoms, to accept them as a signal, but not to focus on them, they have done their job, it is up to us to do ours by taking care of ourselves and continuing to live.

You said it perfectly. The symptoms of an illness are a signal to stop and rest. Sometimes it takes a little mental engergy to come to terms with it - both to not try to do normal activity and to not feel guilty not doing normal activity. :-)

Greetings, positive thinking helps us a lot in these situations, what does not help us is the body weakened by the condition, but you have to have a positive mind, I hope you get better soon.

Sorry to hear that you and your kid are sick. Hope that both of you will recover soon (is your kid okay already? Good).

It is also good to see that you were able to change your thoughts! I can't recall if I have ever done that!

Yes our children are almost done, just leftover runny noses.

change your thoughts! I can't recall if I have ever done that

I'm sure you have many times, when a thought pops in anyone's head that's not consistent with their character, it's only right for it to be adjusted properly.

It is good to see you Alive and well even though it is a bit on the weak side. Yes, there are times when I have to change my thoughts throughout the day to ensure that I do not go down negative paths but I think everyone experiences this. It is best to change from negative to positive as soon as possible. Take care.

Dear readers, have you ever found yourself correcting your own thought patterns? Can you think of an example of this?

Yes. My best success in this regard is when I decided to quit smoking. Before I thought but how can I stop if it is a physical addiction by blaming the wrong person. Then I started thinking, but isn’t it that if I stop, I become a stronger person? I tried to quit for a couple of days, and I ended up with energy I didn’t have before. In the end I concluded that the best vice was not to smoke and to enjoy the energies that the human body gives you without that nicotine cap that must be disposed of every day.
