I like to think of myself as a healthy person with a strong immune system.
So much so that I’ve been known to say at times: “I never get sick.”
30+ hours in bed over the last two days has me humbly updating that motto.
It’s one thing to use confidence to create a sort of placebo effect on my immune system—as a sort of reverse Munchausen syndrome mentality.
And it’s another thing to allow confidence to replace best practices for supporting my immune system.
In retrospect, there are certainly a few things I could’ve done better to both a) prevent this sickness from even getting access to my body and b) better support my immune system so it was stronger and more prepared if/when it did.
This is my humble reminder to you to yes, be confident in yourself to create that sort of reverse Munchausen syndrome mentality, but two, to simultaneously be supportive and unwavering in your efforts to keep it *actually* ready.
