    00:00:01.056 --> 00:00:06.776


    Kevin Lowe: If I'm going to be brutally honest, I am probably the worst person ever to be sick.



    00:00:07.196 --> 00:00:09.196


    Kevin Lowe: Yes, I know, call me a big baby.



    00:00:09.196 --> 00:00:10.916


    Kevin Lowe: But I'm figuring the



    00:00:10.916 --> 00:00:11.656


    Kevin Lowe: Bigger we are.



    00:00:11.936 --> 00:00:13.196


    Kevin Lowe: The harder we fall.



    00:00:13.376 --> 00:00:14.196


    Kevin Lowe: And that is.



    00:00:14.196 --> 00:00:16.416


    Kevin Lowe: The case for me when I am sick.



    00:00:16.596 --> 00:00:22.516


    Kevin Lowe: And right now, I am sick. I've been sick for the past week, and I'm kind of over it.



    00:00:22.716 --> 00:00:25.796


    Kevin Lowe: But because I do what I do,



    00:00:25.876 --> 00:00:30.716


    Kevin Lowe: because this podcast is here to do what it does, I decided to flip the script



    00:00:30.716 --> 00:00:37.816


    Kevin Lowe: on being sick because maybe you're sick or if you haven't been sick yet so far this year,



    00:00:38.056 --> 00:00:39.456


    Kevin Lowe: You're probably going to get sick.



    00:00:39.456 --> 00:00:40.136


    Kevin Lowe: At some point.



    00:00:40.396 --> 00:00:41.776


    Kevin Lowe: And what if there was.



    00:00:41.776 --> 00:00:42.436


    Kevin Lowe: A way that



    00:00:42.436 --> 00:00:47.196


    Kevin Lowe: We could transform that sick day into an opportunity for growth.



    00:00:47.376 --> 00:00:48.976


    Kevin Lowe: For personal growth and development?



    00:00:49.196 --> 00:00:54.476


    Kevin Lowe: Yes, my friend, we are making lemonade out of lemons today by turning a sick



    00:00:54.476 --> 00:00:56.636


    Kevin Lowe: day into a day of transformation.



    00:00:57.056 --> 00:00:58.396


    Kevin Lowe: If you're up for it,



    00:00:58.396 --> 00:00:59.176


    Kevin Lowe: Well, then, my friend.



    00:00:59.416 --> 00:01:00.496


    Kevin Lowe: I'm excited you're here.



    00:01:00.756 --> 00:01:03.716


    Kevin Lowe: I welcome you to episode 362.



    00:01:04.556 --> 00:01:08.516


    Kevin Lowe: Hey, I'm your host, Kevin Lowe, and you are listening to Grit,



    00:01:08.656 --> 00:01:10.036


    Kevin Lowe: Grace, and Inspiration.



    00:01:11.336 --> 00:01:16.656


    Kevin Lowe: Kicking off 2025 being sick wasn't really on my to-do list.



    00:01:16.956 --> 00:01:20.636


    Kevin Lowe: I hadn't dare thought of a New Year's resolution to



    00:01:20.636 --> 00:01:21.356


    Kevin Lowe: Be sick in.



    00:01:21.356 --> 00:01:25.116


    Kevin Lowe: 2025. No, matter of fact, I wouldn't be healthy this year.



    00:01:25.116 --> 00:01:29.636


    Kevin Lowe: And yet, like so many people, I too have been sick.



    00:01:29.636 --> 00:01:30.956


    Kevin Lowe: For the past week.



    00:01:31.136 --> 00:01:32.796


    Kevin Lowe: At the time I'm recording this.



    00:01:32.936 --> 00:01:37.596


    Kevin Lowe: It's been a solid seven days that I have felt like total crap.



    00:01:38.343 --> 00:01:44.643


    Kevin Lowe: And based on my Facebook newsfeed, I am not the only one. It seems like everybody.



    00:01:44.643 --> 00:01:51.443


    Kevin Lowe: I know is either sick or has been sick, or unfortunately is probably about to get sick.



    00:01:51.643 --> 00:01:57.343


    Kevin Lowe: And so today, figuring that I'm not the only one, I figured we might as well



    00:01:57.343 --> 00:02:02.123


    Kevin Lowe: flip the script on this whole idea of being sick and see if we can't make something.



    00:02:02.123 --> 00:02:03.423


    Kevin Lowe: Good come out of it.



    00:02:03.623 --> 00:02:05.963


    Kevin Lowe: But before we focus on the positive.



    00:02:06.543 --> 00:02:09.103


    Kevin Lowe: I feel you. Being sick is the worst.



    00:02:09.363 --> 00:02:10.303


    Kevin Lowe: You're stuck in bed.



    00:02:10.463 --> 00:02:12.303


    Kevin Lowe: You're not getting to do the stuff you want to do.



    00:02:12.443 --> 00:02:17.623


    Kevin Lowe: You're having to cancel appointments. You're not getting to go out and have fun.



    00:02:17.823 --> 00:02:21.403


    Kevin Lowe: Maybe you had plans to do stuff over this past week.



    00:02:21.403 --> 00:02:21.943


    Kevin Lowe: And



    00:02:21.943 --> 00:02:22.783


    Kevin Lowe: Yet now you're.



    00:02:22.783 --> 00:02:24.103


    Kevin Lowe: Sick and you're not getting to do them.



    00:02:24.283 --> 00:02:29.663


    Kevin Lowe: You're stuck in bed. You feel absolutely miserable. You have the worst sinus headache ever.



    00:02:29.963 --> 00:02:33.583


    Kevin Lowe: You're coughing like crazy, and you're honestly.



    00:02:33.583 --> 00:02:36.003


    Kevin Lowe: Just about at your wit's end.



    00:02:36.003 --> 00:02:36.963


    Kevin Lowe: I understand.



    00:02:37.223 --> 00:02:39.643


    Kevin Lowe: I get it. Being sick is horrible.



    00:02:39.863 --> 00:02:42.423


    Kevin Lowe: But since this is a podcast.



    00:02:42.423 --> 00:02:44.503


    Kevin Lowe: After all, that I hope



    00:02:44.503 --> 00:02:45.543


    Kevin Lowe: Brings a smile.



    00:02:45.543 --> 00:02:53.203


    Kevin Lowe: To your face that maybe lights up your day and hopefully leaves you with a fresh view on life, I



    00:02:53.203 --> 00:02:54.843


    Kevin Lowe: Figured we might as well.



    00:02:54.843 --> 00:02:58.223


    Kevin Lowe: Focus on some positive aspects of the sick day.



    00:02:58.363 --> 00:03:04.523


    Kevin Lowe: Because the most important thing for us to know is that this is temporary.



    00:03:04.943 --> 00:03:06.643


    Kevin Lowe: This too shall pass.



    00:03:07.503 --> 00:03:11.923


    Kevin Lowe: And while we're here in the thick of it all, feeling like crap,



    00:03:12.183 --> 00:03:17.483


    Kevin Lowe: laid up in our bed, wishing for better days to come, what if we could get something out.



    00:03:17.483 --> 00:03:18.123


    Kevin Lowe: Of this time?



    00:03:18.303 --> 00:03:22.343


    Kevin Lowe: And that is what today is all about. I've got some mindset shifts.



    00:03:22.483 --> 00:03:25.523


    Kevin Lowe: I got some strategies to help you not



    00:03:25.523 --> 00:03:26.683


    Kevin Lowe: Only get through being.



    00:03:26.683 --> 00:03:30.163


    Kevin Lowe: Sick, but come out on the other side, a better version of you.



    00:03:30.883 --> 00:03:36.203


    Kevin Lowe: First and most importantly, my friend is I want you to understand that your



    00:03:36.203 --> 00:03:38.523


    Kevin Lowe: physical health is your mental health.



    00:03:38.843 --> 00:03:40.703


    Kevin Lowe: They are one in the same.



    00:03:41.083 --> 00:03:45.563


    Kevin Lowe: And at times when you are sick, when your physical health is impacted,



    00:03:45.803 --> 00:03:48.283


    Kevin Lowe: it's very easy for your mental health to.



    00:03:48.283 --> 00:03:49.703


    Kevin Lowe: Be impacted as well.



    00:03:50.103 --> 00:03:53.543


    Kevin Lowe: Because if you're anything like me, one day down and out.



    00:03:53.663 --> 00:03:54.663


    Kevin Lowe: I can deal with it.



    00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.780


    Kevin Lowe: Let that turn into days on end. And yeah.



    00:03:58.980 --> 00:03:59.860


    Kevin Lowe: I can have



    00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:06.300


    Kevin Lowe: A simple cold, a flu, whatever it is, turn into an emotional tornado.



    00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:08.940


    Kevin Lowe: Because it's more than just about.



    00:04:08.940 --> 00:04:11.400


    Kevin Lowe: Being frustrated that you can't get out and do stuff.



    00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:14.580


    Kevin Lowe: It's more than being aggravated that you don't feel good.



    00:04:15.220 --> 00:04:21.300


    Kevin Lowe: No, it's your mental health truly can be impacted. Even if you're somebody like me.



    00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:24.040


    Kevin Lowe: One of those glass half full personalities,



    00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:30.640


    Kevin Lowe: You can simply find yourself starting to focus on all the negatives. And even more so.



    00:04:30.640 --> 00:04:32.080


    Kevin Lowe: It gets deeper than that.



    00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.740


    Kevin Lowe: You start thinking about all the stuff that you've been working on, all the plans.



    00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:37.860


    Kevin Lowe: That you had for the year,



    00:04:37.880 --> 00:04:43.100


    Kevin Lowe: And you can't help but all of a sudden start doubting your ideas.



    00:04:43.500 --> 00:04:44.840


    Kevin Lowe: You're starting to second guess.



    00:04:44.840 --> 00:04:45.480


    Kevin Lowe: All of the



    00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:50.320


    Kevin Lowe: Things you've been working on. and you're starting to wonder, why am I even trying?



    00:04:50.900 --> 00:04:55.040


    Kevin Lowe: It's so easy for this to happen. It's so easy to find.



    00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.080


    Kevin Lowe: Yourself digging yourself into this hole



    00:04:57.080 --> 00:05:01.360


    Kevin Lowe: When you're not feeling good because it's impacting your mental health.



    00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:05.680


    Kevin Lowe: So the most important thing for us to understand is that this is going to happen.



    00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.200


    Kevin Lowe: It's just a fact.



    00:05:07.380 --> 00:05:11.700


    Kevin Lowe: I know it is for myself. And if we're ever going to do anything about it,



    00:05:11.880 --> 00:05:16.060


    Kevin Lowe: we have to first acknowledge it, recognize it, understand that it's coming.



    00:05:16.340 --> 00:05:21.800


    Kevin Lowe: And again, my friend, what I said earlier is understand that this too shall pass.



    00:05:21.940 --> 00:05:25.480


    Kevin Lowe: This is not forever. This is temporary.



    00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:31.780


    Kevin Lowe: It is literally a blip on the calendar for the year that is 2025.



    00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:40.060


    Kevin Lowe: So if you are feeling under the weather and you're starting to get that mindset



    00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:42.660


    Kevin Lowe: that like, man, this year is going to be terrible.



    00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:46.040


    Kevin Lowe: I'm already sick. Everything else is just going to fall apart.



    00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:46.780


    Kevin Lowe: I know it.



    00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:52.680


    Kevin Lowe: Well, my friend, before you spin yourself into an emotional tornado, I want you to.



    00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.840


    Kevin Lowe: Repeat the words that this too shall pass.



    00:05:56.020 --> 00:05:57.820


    Kevin Lowe: I want you to make this your mantra.



    00:05:57.880 --> 00:05:58.360


    Kevin Lowe: I



    00:05:58.360 --> 00:05:58.700


    Kevin Lowe: Want you to.



    00:05:58.700 --> 00:06:00.040


    Kevin Lowe: Write it down if you have to.



    00:06:00.340 --> 00:06:04.400


    Kevin Lowe: And I want you to keep it on your nightstand. And every time you wake up,



    00:06:04.540 --> 00:06:08.060


    Kevin Lowe: every morning you get up, I want you to look at that notepad,



    00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:10.680


    Kevin Lowe: and I want you to read it out loud to yourself.



    00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.960


    Kevin Lowe: This too shall pass.



    00:06:13.200 --> 00:06:16.720


    Kevin Lowe: This is temporary. This is not forever.



    00:06:17.140 --> 00:06:21.320


    Kevin Lowe: I'm going to be okay. We're going to get through this.



    00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:27.060


    Kevin Lowe: All of my dreams, my plans, they're just on a pause. They're not stopped.



    00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:33.080


    Kevin Lowe: They're not derailed. I just have to give myself the grace to be sick.



    00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:38.240


    Kevin Lowe: Like, sometimes we just have to be able to hit the pause button on life and



    00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.940


    Kevin Lowe: understand that we're sick and it's okay.



    00:06:41.220 --> 00:06:42.580


    Kevin Lowe: It's just part of life.



    00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.200


    Kevin Lowe: Now, say you are sick right now that you're listening to today's episode.



    00:06:47.400 --> 00:06:48.380


    Kevin Lowe: Well, I thought



    00:06:48.380 --> 00:06:52.420


    Kevin Lowe: I'd share with you three of the things that help me when I am sick.



    00:06:53.171 --> 00:06:56.431


    Kevin Lowe: First and foremost, I'm going to call it music therapy.



    00:06:57.051 --> 00:07:01.511


    Kevin Lowe: Obviously, as a podcast host, I listen to a lot of podcasts.



    00:07:01.751 --> 00:07:07.531


    Kevin Lowe: I have a subscription to Audible where I get a new audiobook every month.



    00:07:07.751 --> 00:07:11.651


    Kevin Lowe: Well, you know what? I rarely ever listen to an audiobook.



    00:07:12.051 --> 00:07:16.951


    Kevin Lowe: They're so long. I want a quick win. And I have my favorite podcast that I listen



    00:07:16.951 --> 00:07:22.071


    Kevin Lowe: to every week. It takes up my time. And so when I'm drinking my morning cup of coffee.



    00:07:22.291 --> 00:07:23.391


    Kevin Lowe: I'm listening to a podcast.



    00:07:23.831 --> 00:07:26.051


    Kevin Lowe: In the afternoon, when I've got a break.



    00:07:26.231 --> 00:07:27.371


    Kevin Lowe: I'm listening to a podcast.



    00:07:27.791 --> 00:07:33.251


    Kevin Lowe: But when I'm sick, I don't want to listen to stuff like this podcast.



    00:07:33.591 --> 00:07:37.511


    Kevin Lowe: Doesn't that seem a little bit ironic? But no, I don't want to be listening



    00:07:37.511 --> 00:07:43.091


    Kevin Lowe: to stuff about being positive and about personal growth and development or about



    00:07:43.091 --> 00:07:45.051


    Kevin Lowe: helping me grow my speaking business.



    00:07:45.471 --> 00:07:50.991


    Kevin Lowe: No. So instead, I found the best thing to do is to turn to music.



    00:07:51.611 --> 00:07:55.711


    Kevin Lowe: Yeah, instead of listening to a podcast, I put on my favorite playlist.



    00:07:56.251 --> 00:08:02.031


    Kevin Lowe: Typically, I go back to when I was a kid. A good old best of the 90s playlist



    00:08:02.031 --> 00:08:04.511


    Kevin Lowe: always does wonders for me.



    00:08:05.111 --> 00:08:09.551


    Kevin Lowe: So for you, if you are feeling a little under the weather.



    00:08:09.811 --> 00:08:10.731


    Kevin Lowe: A little stressed out,



    00:08:10.911 --> 00:08:15.551


    Kevin Lowe: A little anxious, maybe just put on some music for a change. Turn off the TV.



    00:08:15.931 --> 00:08:17.991


    Kevin Lowe: Switch off of the podcast,



    00:08:18.211 --> 00:08:23.011


    Kevin Lowe: And just put on some music, something that's relaxing, something that just brings



    00:08:23.011 --> 00:08:24.551


    Kevin Lowe: some good vibes your way.



    00:08:24.711 --> 00:08:29.371


    Kevin Lowe: The energy that music can bring to your day is absolutely magical.



    00:08:29.931 --> 00:08:35.371


    Kevin Lowe: Now, my second tip for you is when you're feeling really bad,



    00:08:35.631 --> 00:08:39.271


    Kevin Lowe: like the times in the day like I've been having where all of a sudden I.



    00:08:39.271 --> 00:08:40.371


    Kevin Lowe: Just feel awful.



    00:08:40.371 --> 00:08:44.651


    Kevin Lowe: The best thing that I can do is to get in for.



    00:08:44.651 --> 00:08:45.871


    Kevin Lowe: A hot shower.



    00:08:46.331 --> 00:08:50.831


    Kevin Lowe: Yes, my friend, you want to take this to the next level? Go ahead and use one



    00:08:50.831 --> 00:08:55.071


    Kevin Lowe: of those nose sprays before you get into the steamy hot shower.



    00:08:55.451 --> 00:09:02.131


    Kevin Lowe: Then just give yourself some time. Basically, it's like an impromptu spa day.



    00:09:02.371 --> 00:09:06.611


    Kevin Lowe: Yes, you are sick, but why can't we do a spa treatment at home?



    00:09:06.611 --> 00:09:12.291


    Kevin Lowe: So standing in the shower, laying down in the bathtub, whatever your style,



    00:09:12.671 --> 00:09:16.771


    Kevin Lowe: getting in that hot shower, my friend, it does wonders for me.



    00:09:16.791 --> 00:09:19.771


    Kevin Lowe: And I can only imagine it will do wonders for you.



    00:09:20.011 --> 00:09:24.111


    Kevin Lowe: Not only does it help you feel better physically, but mentally,



    00:09:24.471 --> 00:09:27.911


    Kevin Lowe: my goodness, is it a miracle worker?



    00:09:28.793 --> 00:09:32.173


    Kevin Lowe: Now, my third tip isn't anything out of the ordinary either.



    00:09:32.173 --> 00:09:35.153


    Kevin Lowe: But it's just something to remind yourself of,



    00:09:35.333 --> 00:09:39.873


    Kevin Lowe: Of something warm to drink. Now, you can do many different things.



    00:09:40.053 --> 00:09:42.513


    Kevin Lowe: People talk about tea with honey and lemon.



    00:09:42.993 --> 00:09:47.373


    Kevin Lowe: Me, I've actually been lucky enough that back during Christmas,



    00:09:47.773 --> 00:09:52.593


    Kevin Lowe: my grandmother made me up some of her Russian spiced tea mix.



    00:09:52.593 --> 00:09:55.073


    Kevin Lowe: I think it's called. It's so delicious.



    00:09:55.073 --> 00:09:56.533


    Kevin Lowe: And right now when I'm sick.



    00:09:56.753 --> 00:10:04.813


    Kevin Lowe: A big hot cup of that has been amazing. But I also just love some green tea heated up.



    00:10:04.993 --> 00:10:06.273


    Kevin Lowe: Or, of course.



    00:10:06.493 --> 00:10:07.273


    Kevin Lowe: A cup of coffee



    00:10:07.273 --> 00:10:08.333


    Kevin Lowe: In the morning.



    00:10:08.333 --> 00:10:09.613


    Kevin Lowe: Which, I don't know,



    00:10:10.033 --> 00:10:15.073


    Kevin Lowe: Being sick, the coffee doesn't quite do it for me quite like the other teas do.



    00:10:15.473 --> 00:10:21.533


    Kevin Lowe: So, again, what I'm saying is, is basically treat yourself kind.



    00:10:21.833 --> 00:10:26.733


    Kevin Lowe: Give yourself a special treat. Fix yourself a nice hot cup of tea.



    00:10:27.493 --> 00:10:32.273


    Kevin Lowe: Sit down and relax. And if that doesn't do it, well, then get in that hot shower



    00:10:32.273 --> 00:10:34.733


    Kevin Lowe: and just totally chill out.



    00:10:35.093 --> 00:10:38.613


    Kevin Lowe: And I guess if you want to just combine it all together, go ahead and throw



    00:10:38.613 --> 00:10:40.513


    Kevin Lowe: some music on the phone as well.



    00:10:40.593 --> 00:10:45.813


    Kevin Lowe: And you can be listening to that nice, relaxing music while you're in the steamy hot shower.



    00:10:46.253 --> 00:10:50.013


    Kevin Lowe: Whatever you have to do, my friend, just do it and get through this time.



    00:10:50.353 --> 00:10:56.353


    Kevin Lowe: Because remember, this is not forever. It's only temporary, and me and you can



    00:10:56.353 --> 00:10:57.353


    Kevin Lowe: get through it together.



    00:10:58.572 --> 00:11:02.252


    Kevin Lowe: Now, here's the big picture about today's episode.



    00:11:02.692 --> 00:11:07.092


    Kevin Lowe: If you didn't listen to anything else I said, I hope you just turn up the volume



    00:11:07.092 --> 00:11:09.272


    Kevin Lowe: right now and listen a little bit closer.



    00:11:09.732 --> 00:11:11.772


    Kevin Lowe: Because the thing is.



    00:11:11.912 --> 00:11:13.932


    Kevin Lowe: Is whether it's sick or



    00:11:13.932 --> 00:11:16.852


    Kevin Lowe: Any other thing, life is going to throw.



    00:11:16.852 --> 00:11:19.832


    Kevin Lowe: Curveballs our way. It's just a fact of life.



    00:11:20.332 --> 00:11:24.092


    Kevin Lowe: Sometimes you're going to be going through life and all of a sudden it's like



    00:11:24.092 --> 00:11:27.412


    Kevin Lowe: the coach just throws you out of the game, puts you on the bench.



    00:11:27.412 --> 00:11:30.112


    Kevin Lowe: You're now riding the bench while life is going on.



    00:11:30.252 --> 00:11:35.492


    Kevin Lowe: And you get frustrated. You're aggravated. You don't understand why you have to be sidelined.



    00:11:35.652 --> 00:11:40.152


    Kevin Lowe: But the thing to remember is that being benched doesn't mean that you're out.



    00:11:40.152 --> 00:11:40.732


    Kevin Lowe: Of the game.



    00:11:41.152 --> 00:11:45.112


    Kevin Lowe: No, you're still there. Sometimes you just need a pause.



    00:11:45.452 --> 00:11:50.812


    Kevin Lowe: So while you're riding the bench, use this time to just rest and reflect.



    00:11:51.272 --> 00:11:53.412


    Kevin Lowe: Use this time to focus on you.



    00:11:54.152 --> 00:11:59.392


    Kevin Lowe: Ask yourself some of those big questions about life, about what is it that's



    00:11:59.392 --> 00:12:02.292


    Kevin Lowe: really and truly important to me in my life.



    00:12:02.652 --> 00:12:10.012


    Kevin Lowe: In times like this, my friend, you realize that health, it's truly everything. Maybe start to think.



    00:12:10.372 --> 00:12:11.132


    Kevin Lowe: How can I start



    00:12:11.132 --> 00:12:13.952


    Kevin Lowe: Treating myself better more than just when I'm sick?



    00:12:14.132 --> 00:12:21.572


    Kevin Lowe: What can I start doing to help me be a healthier version of me every day, not just when I'm sick?



    00:12:22.092 --> 00:12:24.012


    Kevin Lowe: And I think one of the most powerful.



    00:12:24.012 --> 00:12:25.452


    Kevin Lowe: Questions we can ask ourselves



    00:12:25.452 --> 00:12:30.032


    Kevin Lowe: When we're at the lowest is what am I grateful for right now?



    00:12:30.232 --> 00:12:33.312


    Kevin Lowe: Even in this moment, what do I have to be grateful for?



    00:12:33.892 --> 00:12:36.352


    Kevin Lowe: I oftentimes refer to this as our base.



    00:12:36.672 --> 00:12:38.752


    Kevin Lowe: For me, I always turn to my faith.



    00:12:38.752 --> 00:12:39.392


    Kevin Lowe: And my family,



    00:12:39.432 --> 00:12:43.552


    Kevin Lowe: But it can be other things too. Like your dog, like my little dog,



    00:12:43.612 --> 00:12:48.892


    Kevin Lowe: Sophia, who brings a smile to my face every morning when she comes down with such excitement.



    00:12:49.579 --> 00:12:54.179


    Kevin Lowe: Or maybe it's the sound of the birds outside your window who are singing away



    00:12:54.179 --> 00:12:57.399


    Kevin Lowe: as if they've never been sick a day in their life.



    00:12:57.739 --> 00:13:02.679


    Kevin Lowe: Maybe they're just there for you, helping to remind you that it's all going to be okay.



    00:13:03.059 --> 00:13:06.339


    Kevin Lowe: We just have to remember that these moments of pause.



    00:13:06.359 --> 00:13:09.839


    Kevin Lowe: They can be impactful if we let them.



    00:13:09.959 --> 00:13:15.019


    Kevin Lowe: If we focus on us, if we focus on the positive, my friend, we can make positive



    00:13:15.019 --> 00:13:17.619


    Kevin Lowe: come out of even the worst of days.



    00:13:18.339 --> 00:13:23.119


    Kevin Lowe: So I leave you with one final thought, my friend, is that the sickness,



    00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:28.319


    Kevin Lowe: this illness, whatever you're going through, you are stronger than any of it.



    00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:33.559


    Kevin Lowe: You are bigger and badder than you've ever realized. You can get through.



    00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.859


    Kevin Lowe: This just as I will do the same.



    00:13:36.959 --> 00:13:38.919


    Kevin Lowe: Because, my friend, it's temporary.



    00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.159


    Kevin Lowe: We got this.



    00:13:40.299 --> 00:13:45.379


    Kevin Lowe: We can do this. And together, we'll come out better versions of us.



    00:13:45.379 --> 00:13:50.379


    Kevin Lowe: until next time hopefully my voice is maybe a little bit better for.



    00:13:50.379 --> 00:13:51.259


    Kevin Lowe: Our next episode



    00:13:51.259 --> 00:13:57.459


    Kevin Lowe: And hey if nothing else hopefully today's episode made you laugh made you think



    00:13:57.459 --> 00:14:03.239


    Kevin Lowe: a little and if you know somebody who needs to hear it well my friend please share today's.



    00:14:03.239 --> 00:14:04.299


    Kevin Lowe: Episode with them



    00:14:04.299 --> 00:14:09.799


    Kevin Lowe: And until next time i'm your host Kevin Lowe hopefully you and me will get.



    00:14:09.680 --> 00:14:29.464
