Swine Flu (H1N1): Are You Scared Yet?
Are you stressed about H1N1 Influenza (previously referred to as Swine Flu)?
If you pay attention to the news and various other media, then it’s quite likely you are stressed … at least a little. Don’t be!
A few thoughts on the H1N1 Flu situation to help turn that stress around:
1. Unfortunate circumstances — like H1N1 — sometimes bring out the worst in people. Don’t fall victim to an H1N1 scheme. People are often looking for ways to scam others during times of crisis. Make smart decisions … not fear based decisions.
2. Fear and stress swoop into our lives when we are uninformed or uneducated about something. Knowledge is power. Don’t fall prey to rumors and other Internet nonsense, learn the facts about H1N1 from the experts. One good source is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at www.cdc.gov

3. Fear is often paralyzing. Instead of allowing fear to place your life on hold, educate yourself and live your life by taking proper precautions as outlined by the experts. If the experts are advising you to wash your hands more, then wash your hands more. If they advise you to avoid crowds for the next month, then avoid crowds. If they advise you to stay home, then stay home. It’s that simple. Your job is simply to continuing living an amazingly wonderful life … without allowing outside circumstances to dictate your path.
4. Don’t forget the Law of Attraction: What you think about, you bring about. Don’t spend your time dwelling on H1N1. Instead, if you spend your time focussing on being happy, you are likely to bring more happiness into your existence. Sounds good, right? It is!
