Winter is coming, which means that soon the crowds begin to mow the flu and colds. It would seem that many years repeated the same story: the man knows what to do to avoid sick, dress warmly, prophylactically drink hot tea with lemon, but no, no yes and "plunge" in cold.
And okay even if the trouble occurs in winter, but when the disease catches up with you somewhere in the summer, on vacation - this is doubly insulting. Many probably already used to the idea that at least a couple times a year, they will have to lie down with fever and a runny nose. I was one of them until he has learned to not get sick.
The word "disease", I mean a cold or flu, which does not allow you to work / study in normal mode. Last time, nearly 2.5 years ago I suffered from 20 January 2012. That day I made a willful decision not to hurt more. It lasted a year, and then one more, and that next year prepare to meet for the third year without colds and flu.
To understand how to fight the disease, first consider the reasons for their occurrence.
Why do we get sick
- Stress. According to statistics, most hospitals have to stress on Monday. Least of all - on Friday. On Friday, a person feels emotional lift before the coming weekend, but on Monday he feeling the brunt of the upcoming work week - it was at this time increases the likelihood ill. Sooner or later, the constant stress will cause a person to take sick leave.
- Internal protest. Are you fed up work or become unbearable to go in the morning to the couple? Or maybe you want to finally relax, but to leave far? There is a solution: the subconscious itself will include the necessary mechanisms so that you often left exposed to the wind, the cold and the air conditioning and were so sick.
- The lack of attention. You want to be around people began to bestow you oranges, drink koldreks, regret and manage your health on a daily basis. It is nice to everyone, but it is nothing more than a way of manipulation.
- Extreme cold. This kind of hard not to notice the cold, because he clearly felt every cell in the body. The first wish when you feel a strong cold - warm up quickly.
- Easy cold. A striking example - imperceptible draft or treacherous conditioner nozzle which is quietly but systematically, minute by minute takes your warmth - this is one of the most dangerous types of cold.
How to deal with the diseases listed above causes
- Stress at work can be controlled or revising their attitude to work (be easier, do not take everything to heart), or else to change jobs.
- In the case of an internal protest, it makes sense to pump itself is good reason to go to work (motivation) or else, again, change jobs and do something more enjoyable. Furthermore, it may be that you devoured routine. In this case, it makes sense to consciously take a vacation at least for a couple of days and emotionally to cheer up by a small travel and communication with interesting people.
- If you do not have enough attention, you should not build yourself a martyr. It will be much more productive outing with friends at any event: you will spend a lot less time and get your dose of social capital. The more you go people are, the less you will want to get sick. And if you fall in love - and even more so.
- Strong and lightweight cold require different approaches. A strong cold easier to prepare than to easy, because it is more visible and palpable. It is impossible to skip past him, when you will have to throw in a shiver and your teeth will repel tap to you or you will quickly find a way to keep warm, or take a willful decision to tolerate. This is the secret of the fight against extreme cold.
- Light cold - it's like a frog that quietly simmered. In order not to fall for the most insidious kind of cold, it requires a high level of consciousness. You need to learn to feel your body and notice the slightest symptoms uncomfortable around you. It is not necessary to be a hero and endure light draft or under a warm blanket. Easy cold can catch you by surprise when you are asleep and you can not control the conditions of their sleep. Therefore, it makes sense to advance to prepare for possible scenarios of a sudden cold snap and prepare extra blanket or bring along an extra sweater. It is better to sweat than freeze. To improve their chances in the face of a cold light, it is necessary not only to do "homework" on insulation blankets, sweaters, but also to add in the "cache" of his head memo that the wind is blowing and we can not relax. That is, even when you are sitting somewhere in the office of an important meeting in my head it is necessary to "reserve" the thought of the cold. When you remember the cold and is aware that he is and that he affects you, you have a 50% increase your chances of getting sick.
Prevention will save the world
Much easier to get sick if you do regularly simple but effective steps:
- Tempers. Even a few minutes of cold water at the end of daily morning swim already able to work wonders.
- Dress. risk areas that need attention in the first place: the back, chest and neck.
- Sleep. This is very important because the lack of sleep leads to poor health and decreased immunity.
- Drink hot drinks. Whether it's coffee, tea or just hot water. An extra cup of something warm, not only remind your body that it cared about, but also allow the contrast pinpoint the source of the cold.
- Take a hot shower. Even if you do not cold. Never more than warm your back and neck.
Shock measures: cold revenge
It so happens that you find yourself in the dead of winter, when it is aware you are in danger to be ill, but close, unfortunately, no heat joule. In such cases, even a glass of hot tea is not able to cover the "damage" caused to the cold. In such a situation it is necessary, as before, to keep up with the idea about the cold. It does not matter that he had won the battle, because you are still able to win the war!
Avenge fierce winter, good steam in the shower while simultaneously filling throat hot tea with lemon. Gird you with everything that you have, cover all the blankets that are available to you, and go to sleep. And sleep as much as you want, without getting up at the sound of an alarm clock. Better to sleep through the job, but to be healthy than to be a hero in the office on time, but with the onset of the disease.
And for a snack - prescription health guru Sri Aurobindo Integral Yoga
"The only disease - a lack of awareness. In the later stages, when we have a well-established inner silence and we will be able to perceive the mental and vital vibration even at the periphery of our okolosoznatelnogo, we can just feel the vibration of the disease and take them out before they can enter into us. If you are aware of your surroundings is the "I" - Sri Aurobindo wrote to a disciple - then you will be able to catch the thought, passion, suggestion or force of illness and prevent the invasion of you.
