Who is the most important person in your life?

YOU!
You are going to live with yourself for the rest of your life, every second, every minute, week, month and year.
You are going to live with the quality that you yourself create. You get to live with the consequences of your own decisions.

That's why it's important to prioritize your own dreams and needs so that you can live the life that you are worthy of!

Be your own best friend!

Save energy and time!

As you all know relatives live under big amounts of stress and worry. Sometimes during a long time and that leads to further mental and physical problems. Some relatives develop symptoms suggestive of post-traumatic stress, and there is also a risk for depression. When it has gone that far you don't have energy to do anything. There is nothing you can bring yourself to do, barely even feed yourself.

But it doesn't have to go that far. All the stress and pressure could simply result in that the daily energy is used by lunch. For me it has helpful to view energy in the form of an hourglass. When I feel fine there is 100% energy in my hourglass when I wake up that lasts all day, for everything that I set myself to do. But bad days I may wake up with 30% energy left in my hourglas. Then I have to do everyting to minimize my use of energy that day and make sure I'm home early to get to sleep.

My hope is that we (those of you reading this post and I) shall combine our different ideas and write down how to do in order to save energy and time.

I start with some ideas here and hope that you can fill in with comments and more ideas. I alternate between ideas that can be used privately or at work. Perhaps we can help each other to find new ways to save energy and time!

- Cancel meetings and book teleconferences instead.
- Cancel the teleconferences if you can send emails instead.
- Get help from a neighbour, practical things as guarding the cat/dog.
- Grocery home delivery
- Only buy clothes that do not require ironing.
- Take a bath with scented candles (both relaxing and energizing you for later)
- Get a robot vacuum cleaner that cleans you floor while you are at work.
- Hmm.. what else?

That was everything I could come up with right now, I'll get back with more ideas. Until then I hope you have some more ideas and want to share them in the comments!

Quote from Totte

My colleague Totte has an amazing ability to say pithy things that are worth quoting. Now and then I will post quotes from him. Yesterday he said this:

- "You don't stop using drugs because of love. You stop because of the negative consequences."


 Take care! /Carina
