I remember once when I traveled to Israel we went to the Corona Festival. What a party! Just before the shit hit the van (in September 2019) and Corona was just a cool festival or a nice beer. Well I can guarantee you. My corona party at the moment is not that fun!

Positive for Corona. WTF! I wasn’t happy, but on the other hand at least I knew now what it was. And the doctor could give me the right advice to attack this virus!!
At the end this is what I took & what helped:
- Paracetamol
- Vitamin C a lot!
- Coconut water
- Omega 3
- Vitamin D
- Zinc
- Electrolit (drink)
- Natural lemonade with ginger
- Taking a lot of rest!
- Drinking a lot of water
- Eating super healthy. A lot of vegetables & fruit and fresh fish.
I’m getting a bit better day by day. But I’m still not there yet. And you have to imagine this virus is already fucking with me, my body and my soul, since a month ago and maybe even longer.. But of course. This episode also already taught me some lessons that I definitely want to share with you.
1. Accept. Let go. And have patience!
First I wanted to rush home for my B-day and I was forcing myself to get better. Well that is not how it works.. I have to accept it how it is, and let it go. I can’t control it. And I have to have patience.
Wow! All these things I was all struggling with before. Letting go.
Accepting, not wanting to control things and having patience. The Universe is teaching me some life lessons here..
I have no other choice now then to do all this. And it brings me peace. Valencia will always be there for me. My B-day I can celebrate another time.
The only thing I have to think about now is getting better.
2. Put Yourself First - ALWAYS!
If you don’t feel good, you can be in paradise but it won’t change a thing! Therefor it is so important to be in your energy. And the only way to do that is to take good care of yourself, your body & your soul.
Make sure you feel good and make yourself the number 1 priority.
3. Enjoy the little things in life, because they are the big things!
By being so sick, the little things you can do become so big again.
- Watching the sunset at the beach (which are amazing here in Mexico).
- Talks with friends. Talking with my family.
- Being outside and catch a bit of sunlight
- Having a nice breakfast
- Taking a hot shower
- Being able to breath
- Listening to the sounds of the ocean
- Getting a good night sleep
- Listening to music
- Laughing with a friend
4. Live a life that makes you want to be the best version of yourself!
And to go a bit further on this. While I was quarantined, I was starting to live in a quarantine village. After me there were 6 more cases discovered in the place where I was staying. You could see it by the empty food plates that were standing outside the rooms.
That’s how I knew that a Mexican guy in front of my room also had it. So I started talking with him. I thought he will probably also be a bit lonely. So we talked a bit, from a distance of course. And then I asked him if he likes his job. And he said yes. And I said: why? Then there came an answer that I wasn’t expecting and it actually inspired me for writing this whole blog!
He said: My job makes me want to be the best version of myself. That’s why I like it so much. I loved his answer. And then it hitted me. That is exactly what I’m chasing in life and also want for my clients!
I want a life that makes me want to be the best version of myself!
I want a brand and business that makes me want to be the best version of myself!
I want people around me that make me want to be the best version of myself!
I want to live in a place that makes me want to be the best version of myself!
I want to work with people that make me want to be the best version of myself!
And I also want this for you! Because only when you are the best version of yourself you will shine and really make an impact.
