 **IMPROVE / CARE FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS/ HOME**: Keep or make a clean, tidy home. Take the trash out. Open the windows once in a while, let light and air in. Have distinct spaces for distinct activities, if possible (if not possible, you can invent some sort of code/ritual to transition between space/activities). Remember what grandma said: You make the bed you wake up in. You don’t need to master Feng-shui or even “believe” in it to understand that a certain state of things in the house creates a certain flow, a certain circulation, a certain vibe, around the house, around you, that will both reflect and affect you, that will “attract” certain situations, thoughts, feelings, more than others. Well, you know what to do. Help yourself, materialize well. **IMPROVE / CARE FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS/ HOME**: Keep or make a clean, tidy home. Take the trash out.

-**PROJECT YOURSELF,  VALUE LIFE.** You like what you do ? If you don’t like what you’re doing with your life well then, no wonder you are distressed… Maybe it should be the first thing you consider changing ?! But let’s assume you really like what you do, and maybe that you are even very good at it, and maybe that you know it is very important for others – You want to be able to keep doing it, right ? As best as possible ? Is that very clear to you ? I repeat, is that very clear to you ?+**PROJECT YOURSELF, VISUALIZE, VALUE LIFE.** You like what you do ?

 **BE COURAGEOUS !** Yes, it takes a load of courage, patience and dedication to get oneself through a crisis, and grow from it. And your own demons and weaknesses can be real hard to face. But guess what, once you start doing that, caring for yourself, you will have plenty more energy free to fight other fights. You will become able to help others better, and maybe in more ways, both simple and sophisticated ways. Remember : COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS. Help yourself, help others. **BE COURAGEOUS !** Yes, it takes a load of courage, patience and dedication to get oneself through a crisis, and grow from it.
