ONE STEP AT A TIME: Free Printable

Motivation can be experienced differently for each of us. While some people just get this kind of impulsive motivation, others develop their motivation through actions.

I would like to show you why it is wrong to wait for your motivation and why you should just do something instead - it doesn’t matter how big your action is.

How to gain motivation

OK, so just like I told you above there exists a concept of just doing some random shit. That means that you start small even though you know that you should do more.

You need to write an essay in two days but you’re spending all the time watching a cat jumping from a window? (if you followed the link - yeah, it’s funny but please continue reading my bullshit lol)

The solution to your stressful task is to start doing something even if it doesn’t seem big or challenging. (In our example with the essay this would mean, starting the writing program/ writing “Outline for my essay” on a paper/ starting a draft as small as possible etc.)

You need to clean your room? Search the smallest task and do this one: put your old pizza that’s laying on the floor in the trash can and your underwear where it belongs - you don’t want your dog to eat it, right?

You want to get fit and start working out? Maybe you had an impulse of motivation one week ago, but now you’re laying on the couch like the cutest panda ever, eating sweets and asking yourself where your motivation went.

You already have an idea what you need to do now, right? Just do one push-up/ lunge/ crunch whatever.

It doesn’t matter how small your action is, but if you experience the feeling of this small success you’ll keep going.

How to stay motivated (Part 1)

Now that you’re finally motivated (doesn’t matter how), you really need to stick on that workflow or whatever you’re trying to achieve. One of the simplest things to maintain your motivation is to think of why you started. Here are some examples:

I know that I’m able to get this shit done.

I want to prove that I can do more than I thought.

I want to show everybody that I’m taking my responsibilities seriously.

I need to pass that exam.

Failing is worse than studying.

etc. (the reason needs to come from your heart - if it isn’t true, it won’t work)

Another way (which is pretty simple and works pretty good for most of the people) is the chain system: 

Draw 31 boxes (for one month) and tick one each day after completing your task. This method is pretty common because it is pretty simple and works for no matter how much time you want to do your habit. (The lovely @emmastudies has created a lot of wonderful printables, maybe you find more details there for study tracking.) After keeping up with the growing chain, you’ll be thinking twice before interrupting the chain and stopping your chain.

Part 2 will be posted on Friday, 06.01.

Palmoplantar Rash - Secondary Syphilis

Listeria with tumbling motility (by Pathmass)

Listeria monocytogenes

Gram+, aerobic, motile rod, facultative intracellular, beta hemolytic on blood agar

Tumbling motility in broth (as seen in video)

Jet motility in cells by actin filament formation

Listeriolysin O (Beta hemolysin): pathogenic factor, facilitates it scape from phagosome before phagolysosome formation and “jets” into another cell.

Diseases:

Lysteriosis: asymptomatic or diarrhea. 

Lysteriosis in pregnant women septicimia, crosses placenta.

Granulomatosis infantisepticum: neonatal disease, in utero transmission, sepsis, diseminated granulomas and high mortality.

Neonatal sepsis and meningitis (3° most common cause) 2-3 weeks after birth (fecal exposure)

Septicemia and meningitis in immunocompromised pts

Meningitis in renal transplant pts, cancer pts

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a coagulase negative, Gram-positive coccus. The organism uses sophisticated regulatory networks to adapt its metabolism to suit varying environmental conditions. S. epidermidis relies on biofilm formation to protect cells from the host immune system and other anti-microbial molecules.

ETC shortcuts

FADH2 goes to complex II since 2 hydrogens

RotenONE inhibits complex ONE

AntImIcIn A, 3 III’s ==> Antimycin A inhibits complex 3

Cyan COlored Complex IV ==> Cyanide and CO inhibit complex IV

24 brown fatty aspirins break up ==> 2,4 dnp, aspirin and brown fat are etc uncouplers
