This is the recorded greeting for the immunization health unit. This message cracked me up and I giggled and or full on laughed at the thought of it and my repeating it to others, throughout the day. A communicable disease is clearly something to be avoided, being welcome to it was plain old ridiculously hilarious!
When choosing who to speak to, a recorded request is made of the listener that goes something like this, If you have a fever or flu like symptoms, do not come to the clinic; this message delighted me as much as the first one!
I am inclined to spin this into a super cool metaphor, I invite you to come with me.
What if the communicable disease is dis, ease, agitation, anger, dis satisfaction, selfishness, bitterness, self pity, entitlement, envy, self indulgence, me first? These are real health threats, corrosive and sometimes, contagious otherwise referred to as emotional contagions.
- Why would you or I want to be exposed to these toxins?
- What is the impact when we are?
Doctors and nurses are called to aid the ill; they have healing hearts and hands, and they expose themselves to real and deadly disease for the sake of others. Those that request their help for healing are given the gift of health aid~this said, they have a call to duty, to protect the general public from "communicating" illness, by refraining from exposing others when they are already very sick.
Coaching is like this, the client can bring all their dis ease to the coaching relationship because they want to get better, move away from what makes them emotionally sad and sick, and toward what makes them healthy, whole, and feels like heart singing resonance. Clients learn to move away from emotional contagion and toward health filled loving relationship first with themselves, and then with others.
I want to catch happiness, I want to infect others with joy, I want to be so contagious that everyone is bitten by the love bug! Perhaps you have been bitten today, in a great and wonderful way?
I sure hope so.
