We live in an age of vampires. And their numbers are on the rise.
No, I’m not talking about the blood-sucking ones (I leave
those to Buffy and Blade to deal with). I’m talking about
health-sucking vampires.
Health-sucking vampires are those twisted creatures that
consciously or not drain us of our vitality, vigor, and overall
well-being.
You’ve met these villains of vibrant heath already – those that criticize your health endeavors, those that mock you for your health diligence, and those that would drag your health quality down to their unacceptable level.
It’s time to fight back. It’s time we become health-sucking vampire slayers!
1. Emotional Holy Water
Health-sucking vampires are nasty creatures. You certainly
don’t want them to linger around for too long. But like any good
tactician, your initial response to a vampire threat should be a
controlled and measured one.
Enter emotional holy water – the delightful yet stealthy weapon against health-sucking vampires.
Let’s first explore how holy water works. Ordinary vampires
are repulsed by any potent substance or symbol of genuine goodness.
Holy water is the embodiment of that idea. And when sprinkled (or
flooded) upon them, the vampires cringe and flee.
We’ll use the same approach when contesting health-sucking
vampires. But instead of dousing them with holy water we’ll drench them
in a bath of radiant and positive emotions.
This tactic is quite easy to execute. Simply share to the
confrontational vampire how euphoric you feel when conquering health
challenges. Convey how energized and confident you become when
eliminating sugar-coma inducing foods from your diet. Vivify how
magnificent it is to have near-limitless vitality for all the
activities you love. And so on…
Such an emotional barrage has profound affects on humanoids –
people and vampires alike. Both are hard-wired to be viscerally
receptive to emotional arguments. So if you can effectively articulate
the emotional benefits you reap from your life of vibrant health, then
that positive force field will block the health-sucking vampires
attack. Even better, they’ll recognize you as a powerful opponent and
thus turn away in search of weaker victims.
You’ll slay most health-sucking vampires with emotional holy
water. That’s the best of outcomes because you’ll have effectively
regulated your energy output, minimized your stress, and also avoided using more contentious means.
2. Crosses of Conviction
Sadly, some health-sucking vampires will elude your emotional
holy water dousing. If that’s the case then it’s time to break-out your
crosses of conviction.
Vampires of traditional folklore cannot tolerate the sight and
influence of religious crosses. The crosses are too pure for them to
cope with. Why? Because such righteous symbolism conflicts with the
very essence of a vampire’s vile treachery and outright wickedness.
Health-sucking vampires are equally sensitive to forces that
conflict with their unhealthy spirit. Such conflict is a war of
conviction – beliefs. Healthless vampires
believe fabulous, joyful, and vibrant health is either unattainable or
unimportant. This is toxic and seductive mindset that compels them to
attempt inflicting others with it.
Your response to such health threats is an unleashing of your indestructible convictions for fearless health.
Share your beliefs on why good health matters to you, how vibrant
health makes you superhuman, and why healthlessness is a game for
suckers.
The trick is to unleash these convictions in a positive and
passionate manner. We don’t want an all-out war if it can be avoided.
So don’t preach to the health-sucking vampire – merely convey the full
extent of your healthy lifestyle beliefs.
The magic of pure health convictions
is that they’re rooted in ideals far stronger than the every-changing
whims of vampires. Such health-sucking demons follow trends. They’re
loyal to no one cause. That’s precisely why they’ll never be as
tenacious and valiant as you can be.
3. Blasts of Audacious Sunlight
Alas, sometimes health-sucking vampires get past your
onslaught of fearless health convictions. If that happens then it’s
time to up your game and let loose some audacity! But before becoming
the James Bond of health, let’s first understand how this works.
Bright sunlight unnerves even the staunchest of conventional
vampires. They wither at it’s presence and thus seek havens in the
depths of darkness. The reason is simple – sunlight is raw and pristine
energy.
Hitting health-sucking vampires with an equally concentrated
dose of energy has the same effect. But with this breed of vampire, your audacity is your energy powerhouse.
Audacity, of course, is the apex of boldness. It’s not a force
easily deflected or defeated. The thing with audacity though is that
it only works at full-throttle. So if you have to get audacious with
healthless vampires then don’t half-ass it. And by this point, it’s
okay to be a bit edgy.
Precisely “how” you get audacious is up to you. Here are a few
ideas – convey your sentiments for radiant health in absolute terms;
contrast the status quo’s declining health standards with your own
uplifting health spirit; verbally illustrate how your remarkable health
is a gateway to euphoric life experiences unattainable by those less
healthy.
Final tip – your blasts of audacity should be focused on you,
not them. This keeps your audacity bold yet not fully antagonistic. As
we’ll see next, shifting the focus onto them is the more provocative
and lethal option.
4. Silver Daggers of Truth
If emotional holy water, crosses of conviction, and blasts of
audacious sunlight haven’t fully rid your life of health-sucking
vampires then it’s time to deploy your alpha-weapon – silver daggers of
truth.
Daggers are the most direct and lethal means in your
anti-vampire arsenal. Thus, they shouldn’t be used lightly. Consider
them as the option of last resort or for first-strike attacks against
exceptionally vile vampires.
Silver daggers of truth are so deadly due to a simple and
universal reality – the truth hurts, and hurts a lot when they are
inconvenient facts about you. If you need to escalate your
attack to this level then don’t be ashamed to do so. Just know that
you won’t be converting the vampires into your best-friends-forever.
So when launching your silver daggers of truth go for the
heart. Call out how they’re subjecting themselves to suffocating
amounts of health care costs and debts, either now or in the future.
Share in no uncertain terms how their approach to life itself is more
about talk and half-measures than actual substance. Nail them with the
inescapable truth that their poor health promotes a destiny of
unfulfilled dreams, forsaken opportunities, and maddening regret.
Yes, this approach isn’t for the faint-of-heart.
It’s a direct assault on them. Thus, use with caution and don’t have
an itchy trigger finger. But sometimes you have to fight fire with
fire.
Congrats – You’re Now a Health-Sucking Vampire Slayer!
Health-sucking vampires shall continue to live all around us. It seems that’s just a truth of the times, tragically.
And there are health-sucking vampires you may never be able to
slay completely. But with these four fool-proof methods you’ll at
least be able to keep those vampires at bay.
In the end, you have the ability (and now the know-how) to
successfully take-on and defeat these creatures. And at a certain
point, health-sucking vampire slaying may even become fun! Enjoy!
