Omg I am also squashing a stomach bug at the moment and I had the noravirus back in January… cursed!!
Unfortunately I don’t think you can speed up the process it just has to run its course but to help your body bounce back start with liquids: water, pedialyte, and broth in small sips to test what your stomach can handle atm. Then when you’re ready, move to the BRAT diet — bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast… a chicken noodle soup :) for about 2 days (possibly more if your stomach is still sensitive). And then lots of rest + heating pad! Godspeed 🫡 and 𝓖𝓮𝓽 𝓦𝓮𝓵𝓵 𝓢𝓸𝓸𝓷 ❤️🩹

ok so gargling warm salt water has done wonders for my sore throats in the past! i just microwave or heat up some water in the kettle and then take my salt shaker and shake a lil bit in the cup, then stir. make sure to "close off your throat" before gargling (sounds dumb, but the first time i gargled warm water i choked and it was kinda painful haha).
this next thing is really nasty but i swear i have never had a cold that this method couldn't beat. and it works SO QUICKLY. swallowing chopped up, raw, garlic. by the spoonful. I KNOW ITS SO BAD IM SORRY but it works so well (i think bc the garlic is so nasty it just creates a hostile environment in your throat that the virus doesn't like). it helps a lot if you do this before a meal, since then the garlic taste will be gone from your mouth before too long. i usually just take a spoonful or too with water, or pinch my nose while taking it to spare myself the taste.
feel better <3

Been sick with flu for 5 days. Highly recommend when in the midst of it:
Self face and neck massages throughout the day with a nice oil, including ears!
Steam bath for your face and ears,
Very gentle stretching during the day so your muscles don't get too tense if you're lying down lots and resting.
Lots of hydration constantly,
Fresh air if possible at home.

Currently have three full pages in my notebook! I guess some might call this a gratitude journal LOL but it’s different when I do it.
My brother was telling me about this phenomenon called “target fixation”. It’s a panic reflex that happens when motorcyclists become fixated on a singular object, obstacle, hazard (e.g. a sharp curve on a winding road) and they will unconsciously steer in the direction of the thing they’re trying to avoid because their hands follow their gaze which leads to accidents.
You will follow your gaze so be aware of where you’re looking. Train yourself to seek out pleasure and appreciation! Understanding where + what you derive pleasure from increases your capacity to enjoy things which in turn makes you a more interesting person (imo). I think it’s just as important self-knowledge as understanding your triggers/trauma. It is a daily willingness to be transformed by small things.
Sorry for lecturing but I want good things for all of you.
Xoxo,

Forgive because this where I get a little ~woo woo~ but I think you should only wear necklaces that are imbued with a potent magical vibe… amulets only near the heart and throat
you can do whatever you want with earrings/rings but heed my warning about necklaces
