Throughout the past few weeks of speaking, I have felt like Indian Jones in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” during the scene where the big ball is rolling towards him. I have felt like the virus was chasing me and it was all I could do to quickly get to the next event before it was cancelled!

Today, as I sit down at my desk, it feels surreal. Every event I was going to be speaking at for the next few weeks has been cancelled. Normally my work week is an endless flow of wrapping up the last few events and preparing for the next ones. I have a new normal to adjust to for the time being; however, I will continue to find the 90%s in the 10%s.

Here are two important things I am going to do:

1. I will turn all fear into action.

I refuse to let fear run my life. I am going to view these next few weeks as a gift. I am always traveling or on the move in some way, but now I am going to use this time to cross off a very long list of what Sandra and I can do instead. We are so blessed to have videos that need to be posted, a new promo video to create, a social media campaign to cultivate, and I have two more books waiting to be written!

At home, I have already made a huge list of all the closets we can clean and the editing we can do before our beautiful summer arrives. My family is already wishing I was back on the road.

2. I will continue to build my immune system.

I have lived through H1N1 twice, SARS, and every other event that has happened in my lifetime. I have only missed one engagement in 26 years of speaking due to poor health. One. Isn’t that amazing? So, on social media over the next few weeks, I will be sharing all I do to be healthy.

Let’s start with the basics: hand washing, eating healthy, drinking tons of water, exercising, sleeping and meditating.

In my new “Living the 90%” book, I have an entire chapter on dealing with fear, and another one on taking ruthless care of yourself. I may not have any control over what is happening in the world right now, but I do have control over my reaction to it.

In the spirit of us all moving forward, I would like to offer you two books for the price of one. Order one “Living the 90%” book on my website and I will send you two! One for you and one for a friend. Then we all move forward together.

Be well,
