And, yes, we know it’s a very clever play on words, but that doesn’t stop it from being true... 

 

Assumptions do make an ASS out of U and ME… 

 

So, the question is, why do we carry on making them??? 

A couple of weeks ago we looked at all the simple things you could do to help make this a bug free winter. To get the basics right. If you missed it, you can find it here. 

 

But what if, despite all your best efforts, the worst happens?  

 

Well, all is not lost. There are lots of things you can do at home to help speed bugs on their way. 

While we may not like to admit it, humans are driven by their feelings. Positive and negative. Good and not so good. Those we’re fully aware of and those we’re not – even though they may be very obvious to those around us (!). 

 

Interestingly, most of the time people seem to be completely oblivious of this simple truth. And that’s regardless of whether they consider themselves more of a logical left brained person or an intuitive right brained one. 

 

We’re naturally drawn to people and things that make us feel “good” – or at least less “bad” (!) – and away from those that really make us feel “bad”. Since everyone’s idea of what constitutes “good” and “bad” is different; it’s not surprising that it can sometimes be difficult to fathom out the choices those around us are making… 

Over the last few weeks, we’ve dispelled the myth about the Bogeyman (!), talked about how we each have much more control over our individual health and susceptibility than we realise AND dispelled some other common myths / misconceptions about winter bugs and our health. 

 

So, it must now be time for our traditional advice for the forthcoming season. 

 

Ready? Then here we go: 

Over the last few weeks, we’ve dispelled the myth about the Bogeyman AND talked about how we each have much more control over our individual health and susceptibility than we realise. 

 

As so often is the case, this has sparked various conversations with those around us and made us realise how many other common myths / preconceptions there are which are also well past their sell by date. So, before we move on to our traditional pre Winter dose of common sense (!), we’re going to talk about a few of these which, while obvious to us, often aren’t to everyone else…
