New Year's Resolution: Intend to be...infection-free!
There is a lot of talk this week about new years' resolutions - but only for one week in January. I am very serious about setting goals for each year utilizing categories of health, personal growth, family/friends, finances, career/profession, home and property. My annual goals fit under my lifetime goals, mission and core values. I have been doing this detailed goal setting for quite a few years now and I find it comfortable and comforting. I do quarterly assessments of progress and that keeps me going.
At the nanobugs headquarters, we have developed a new tagline/slogan for 2008 that I think is very appropriate to our mission: Intend to be...infection-free! There is a component of infection prevention that goes beyond the recommended actions like vaccinations, hand hygiene and probiotics (not that those are not important). But what we INTEND is what comes about. ("What you think about expands".) Rather than spouting the reality that you "usually get 2 colds a year" or "I have at least one episode of stomach flu in the winter", why not "intend to be infection-free"? Focus your thoughts on prevention and your intention.
Don't feel defeated if you do manage to be tormented by one nanobug or another. Just do a little epidemiological investigation and determine the probable cause (careful here- no blaming of yourself or others is allowed). Then identify prevention techniques to employ in order to avoid this infection experience in the future.
My advice for the new year: Get a flu shot, wash your hands, sleep well and often, drink Kefir (it's full of probiotics) and....
Intend to be...infection-free!
