A horrible not covid virus

 Wednesday: Someone came to visit with a heavy cold, I kept my distance. The next day, Thursday, my energy levels crashed and I felt aches and pains randomly throughout the body and thought out day. I did what had to be done, went to bed in between essential tasks and picking up grandson from school, caring for animals. Waiting outside grandsons school, I wanted to get out of the car, head into tescos and get a bottle of water, I couldn’t muster up the energy. As soon as I got home, he headed up to his mum, they live above us, and I went to bed. 

Later that evening, my husband checked on me, an lot, I had no appetite but drank water. I had no energy and stayed in bed. 

Friday: In the early hours, I started being sick, copious amount on the floor because I couldn’t stand up. Eventually I got to the loo, tidied up and put towels on the floor to soak up the sick, I was too weak to deal with it otherwise. Husband checked to see if I was okay and he it was who cleaned up the next morning. He took day off work. I stayed in bed, no appetite and drank water, others did my essential animal care jobs. Had horrendous runs. Extremely runny cold and cough. Covid test negative.

Woke up Saturday, with enough energy to do basic must do jobs. Kept activities to a minimum and rested between. No more sickness but stomach still not recovered. Ate a little. Still plenty of nose blowing and coughing. 

Sunday, feeling better but with cough and still dodgy stomach. 

If I were Teresa May's Life Coach...

I feel for Teresa May, she has been landed in a pretty poor position.

If I were her life coach I would be telling her to hold her head up, she won more seats even though Corbyn's party promised amazing things with money they were going to take from the tax payers of Britain.

Of course, reading into that they must believe that under the Tories, many people have become very rich and they are able to pay loads of tax. This huge amount of tax would afford huge benefit to the many poor British people under labour, and there would be plenty more policemen too.

Life coaches believe in the amazing ability of their clients and I do believe Teresa can still get us out of Europe and is still the best person to do it. The first thing she must do is focus fully on her job and let the negativity thrown at her at this time wash off. The Tories actually have more seats than they did when Cameron had to form that ill fated coalition with the Liberal Democrats. Looking at the last few election results, it seems unlikely to me that any party in future will get a large majority, gone are the days when people voted for the party their fathers told them too. Although, nowadays it seems the student population vote for the party their education establishment prefers even though Labour stopped the free degrees in the first place. Scotland kept the free degrees but then Gordon Brown and Tony Blair were both born there so no wonder.

Teresa May has had a blow to her confidence, but she will need to lift her head up and get on with the job. Reminding her of how far she has come will help and also reminding her that millions of people still voted for her is key. She should remember, that in spite of welfare cuts, the main reason Corbyn polled so may votes, she still had millions of votes and they are the people she is working for.

She still got a lot more seats than labour and she should remember that another reason she did that is because many Labour voters had voted UKIP in the last election to make a statement that they wanted a referendum to leave Europe. That is done and now we are leaving Europe, Labour voters felt safe to vote for Corbyn, after all he had promised he would respect the fact the majority called for a Brexit.

More evidence that the country still wants a Brexit comes from Scotland, where SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon lost many seats. She made a lot of noise about more Scottish voters wanting to remain in Europe and it seems they did and that they didn't want a change. However many have voter Tory in this election which would suggest they aren't so keen on Ms Sturgeons ideas after all. Teresa May should hold her head up and keep going for the many Scottish voters who supported her this time too.

Teresa needs to hold her head up and carry the torch for the millions of voters who voted for a Brexit and for her this time, it's time to get over this hiccup. The DUP have said they will help, and there are noises about the borders being an issue, but the Irish border was already likely to remain soft even if other British borders are hardened.

I heard a female Labour MP trying to say people voted for Corbyn because they wanted to soft Brexit. Did she not hear all his promises about free education for students? Did she not know that the Tory policy on stopping free school meals was unpopular? Does she not realise that people can think beyond one issue and vote for other reasons? To me that is Labour's problem, they still believe the voting public are thick and will believe anything they say. They still believe people have a short memory. Well, people haven't forgotten Tony Blair's damage to Iraq and so many other middle Eastern states, now have they?

Teresa should remember that people still voted for her despite Welfare cuts and the threat of taking away free school meals, because they believe in the bigger picture.

i dont 'do' god, i do 'do' the spirit of compassion

I do believe in the spirits of unconditional love, compassion, wisdom and kindness. These energies are beyond male and femaleness, higher than mere masculinity or feminity. Spirit is energy in many different frequencies, some frequencies are so high they are beyond our ezperience unless we raise our own freequency and that is what i beleive we need to do on this and other walks, Raise our frequency. To lower oursel es to the lower frequency of worship is to be stuck, cop out of taking control of our own spirituaal responsibility, to use a godheads name to act on a lower frequency.

What I would do if I was to lifecoach Leah.

Leah from Big Brother 7 seemed to me to be a tortured soul. Always trying to please everyone. She had had much surgery to make herself look acceptable to others who didn't even know her.
She had a big heart and personality but needed reassurance.

She was a lovely person, but didn't accept herself as that, rather she referred to not wanting to be judged by other people. She had a massive problem with other people's perception of her.

As a Life Coach & Reiki Specialist I would teach her that the compassionate, kind and successful person she is is what counts. She doesn't seem to realise that people usually judge others by their actions and interactions with them - I would work with her to help her see that.

She was a very supportive person in the BB7 house, her supportiveness is a major attribute. It would be lovely to help her look inwards and see the beautiful soul that is hidden within.

With all of us, the soul is hidden because just as the soul can feel life and beauty and love very deeply, it is also vulnerable to pain. When a child is born the soul is there offering love to all, slowly the pain a child feels, in its vulnerable state, as it is put down and moulded by the treatment it receives from others, leaves the child afraid to offer love, trust and kindness. Fear of being disappointed by the reactions of others or fear of being hurt when offering from the heart or fear of having enthusiasm and excitement stamped on leaves the child hiding it's true soul light to protect itself from further pain. Often, the most obnoxious children are just lashing out before they can be hurt...the shield that people put around their heart and soul to protect themselves becomes harder and harder. One form of defence is attack and when someone is fearful of being hurt they will not trust and prefer to attack others rather than put trust in yet another being who may well let them down.

Is the need to have surgery to fit in with the expectations of others another form of defense?

People who explore the reasons they have hidden the true beauty of their soul do so from an adult viewpoint. They are able to strengthen themselves and being to realise that those who put them down when they were young and vulnerable had their own problems. Many spiritual techniques, such as Reiki and positive support techniques such as life coaching ultimately lead to the client being able to express their true self without feeling fear. When the soul is rediscovered then the opinions of others melt into insignificance.

Leah has a beautiful soul, what she looks like gives a false impression...is it possible that the surgery she as had is another layer of the shield.

Listening

The latest actions to explore in life-coaching is Listening, Questioning, Metaphors & promoting Action.

There are 3 levels of Listening,

Level 1, the listener is hearing without full attention of what is being said; perhaps thinking of what you will say next or something you're looking in the vicinity or even drifting off on your thought processes.

Level 2, listening to the words only, within a business setting or such when the words are instructional and the person saying them is the messenger, in this case the content of what is being said is important and attention is focussed on that rather than who is speaking.

Level 3, When full attention is on the speaker as well as what is being said, listening with the eyes and identifying with the mood of the speaker. This conversation is far more likely to be relevant on a personal level to the speaker and/or the listener. The listener is looking for a deeper level of understanding of what is being said by the way in which it is being said.

There are Types of Listening...

Sympathetic; Empathic....feeling the conversation and identifying with what is being said... showing concerned by letting them know you can feel what they are going through...'I know what you mean.' or 'I've felt like that.' .... I know what it's like...

Active; Encouraging by positive interjections to keep the speaker speaking. Patiently 'helping' the speaker to expand on what they're saying.

Biased; Someone who has already decided what the listener is saying, they may finish the sentence off before the speaker has finished or interrupt before the speaker can finish. For example, they have made up their mind about the subject and are not looking to take on board further suggestions.

Disregarding; Listener is not actually listening, they are not 'attending' to what is being said, they are putting their attention elsewhere - object at hand or reading a paper, for instance.

Subliminal; Unconscious listening, background noise or the radio for instance. Only when something in the noise grabs your attention do you 'prick up your ears' and actively listen to what is being said or happening.

Affirmative; Agreeable listener who will encourage speaker to keep going, for example, when the speaker is passing on a shared point of view, or is showing that they have understood what has been said, i.e. a plan of action, as the speaker affirms they have understood, the listener interjects with comments such as 'That's right' 'Absolutely' 'Perfect' 'Good' etc.
