What could you do if you’re feeling unwell…
If you’re not feeling well, what are things that you can do to feel better?
How do you do this… what are ways to keep refocusing on +4 to +10 to do priorities?
At hard times, how do you refocus and refocus and refocus and refocus on +4 to +10 to do priorities, even if one at a time?
You could write down things that worry you, so that you can refocus and refocus and refocus on +4 to +10 to dos now and think about those later, when you get to them, but not before that.
But how do you refocus and refocus and refocus and refocus on +4 to +10 to do priorities, even if it's one at a time?
It’s a good idea to understand when you are near your limits and need to take a break, and to find ways to do self-care.
A good way to think about this is that you have several water glasses.
For example, one could be for motivation for your +4 to +10 to do things
One could be for things to do to take care of your health (e.g. when you need to step back and take a rest)
And most importantly, one is for things for good enough emotional health.
It is important to say here that some people have the goal of 0% emotional in there (e.g. no emotional problems), and that is their individual choice if they choose that, but if you want to achieve urgent or important to dos, you need to be able to deal with higher levels of emotional challenges.
With emotional health, sometimes we deal with incredibly difficult and urgent things and the problems in the emotional challenges glass get too high. When it reaches the height in here where it feels too high, we really need to step back, figure out how to create emotional boundaries (my responsibility/ not my responsibility/ it will fix itself with time, etc.), and find enough ways to take care of ourselves.
This way, when we make contributions to moving forward, we can make sure that they’re +4 to +10 contributions and not short-term reactions.
At the same time, we aren’t meant for this to always be at zero. People can handle different amounts of things, so you could have a warning line at 50% 60%, 70% and 80%.
At times when it feels too high, we need to figure out what mix of self-care activities is best to do.
A really good way to do this is through writing books, which can be incredibly helpful, and where we can find the right mix of self-care activities, as long as we keep moving towards +4 to +10 things and preventing -10 to -2 risks from happening.
What are things we do to take care of ourselves?
As humans, we get more resilient with different challenges, but when you have been working on intensely important or urgent things from morning to night, this is a new kind of challenge.
However, when you have a lot of really important to dos, how do you take care of yourself in a way that you can keep refocusing and refocusing and refocusing and refocusing on +4 to +10 priorities?
What can we do to take care of ourselves?
The first place to start is your physical wellbeing:
How are your physical energy levels? Do you need any particular kinds of vitamins (or any specific types of food groups, like breads)? Have you drank enough water?
Have you eaten some low-glycemic foods (these are foods that produce slower energy that lasts for 3 to 4 hours, e.g. whole meal breads, whole grain breads, green tea, apples, etc)? If you have the option to, are you choosing low-glycemic foods and avoiding high-glycemic foods?
Or have you eaten enough of any kind of food? This is a really good place to start…
My personal experience with traumas is a feeling of helplessness and overwhelm… it might take days or weeks to problem solve, so it’s a really good idea to write it down, and to accept that it might take a longer time to solve, and this is alright… So to compartmentalize it and to focus on what you need to now, and to worry about later, later. If you write it down this is particularly helpful because you can focus on the +4 to +10 priorities for today, and then for tomorrow, and so on… you have it all written down, so to focus on the +4 to +10 priorities one at a time…
For example, you can write down all of it, and then figure out what +4s to +10s you need to focus on today, and can even create priorities… e.g. >>>Need to achieve goals 1 to 4 today (e.g. what do with -5 nights earlier, how get supplies, food, water, how get as much help as can for your groups, how help get as much solutions as can for neglected and all groups, by %s, by %s.
Want to achieve goals 5 to 12 today… how help with what is obviously needed? And you would add %s to each of the goals, especially those most needed 1 then 2 then 3 then 4
What can you write about? A good idea is to scribble, it releases some of the emotions. A really, really, really, really excellent thing to do is, instead of writing about emotions first, write a list of 10 healthy, ethical +4 to +10 goals first, then scribble out or write about emotions for some time, then write another list of 10 healthy, ethical +4 to +10 goals, then scribble out or write about emotions for some time, then write another list of 10 healthy, ethical +4 to +10 goals
This is the absolute best way to protect your future wellbeing and happiness.
If you listen too much to emotions, you will move towards reactivity rather than who you most want to be.
Be really, really, really, really, really careful with the above.
Spirituality is similar to regularly returning to your healthy, ethical +4 to +10 goals
Unless you have studied something a thousand times, short-term reactions are often wrong.
It usually takes your medium-term and long-term thinking to go through all of the different factors for something.
It’s important to keep returning to your 10 unique healthy, ethical +4 to +10 goals
If you are pumped with adrenaline, you need to step back
If you are having a panic attack, you need to be really careful
Emotions are usually >not facts- they are short-term, knee-jerk reactions.
Your healthy, ethical +4 to +10 goals are your non-future-problems self.
It is really important to keep returning to them.
One thing that you can do is to read part of a book, because it takes you to a different place, gives you some rest, and helps you with problem solving.
Some people might feel a bit weird doing this, but coloring books can help with really extreme traumas, because you meditate while doing this.
Another thing that you can do is buy a puzzle book, and try a few puzzles.
Having a nap is also a good idea, this helps you to recover energy.
Prayer for your ethically +4 to ethically +10 goals
They would need to be in a win/win way
Some Reiki music is also really helpful.
Listening to things like Solfeggio Healing Tones is incredibly helpful- it’s really, really, really, really helpful.
When you feel too overwhelmed, you should step back, and do something else… sometimes we care about something a lot, and push through, and sometimes this is needed.
But sometimes, we need to set boundaries and do something else. Why is this? It could be that our glass of emotional problems has got too high, and we need to figure out how to make it lower… this is a good time to set boundaries and take care of ourselves
And at other times, our glass of motivation has got too low, and we need a change of what we’re doing for a bit…
So doing relaxation and leisure things can build our motivation up by filling our cup. A really good example of this is doing a sport for a little bit… or doing something enjoyable
If we don’t have much time and it’s really important and urgent, another way is to have 10 short practices of an emotion or emotions we would like to strengthen, that we know will help with our strength. And taking a rest…
Or sitting down and meditating, in a way that increases your motivation for wreckage work and doesn’t decrease it… How would you do this?
Deep breathing into something >helpful in our minds and bodies, and expanding the helpfulness there.
Or doing something actively enjoyable… doing something that feels good to you.
Some people recommend deep breathing, but it depends on how you do it. Deep breathing tends to intensify emotions, which can sap your energy when you have a lot of to dos that you need to do today or now. So it can help to do a bit, but be careful that you have enough energy to continue your +4 to +10 goals.
Finding ways to keep comfortably busy, if you are waiting, can help a lot with mental health… For example, to create 10 healthy, ethically +4 to +10 goals for each day, in priority order (e.g. how find shelter for a -5 degree night, how get enough food, what do if want to leave shelter during the day, how find a phone recharging station, how can I think of %s to help my groups for these priorities, how can I think of %s to help neglected people for these priorities, how can I think of %s to help all people for these priorities…
This way, you won’t get bored, and if they’re in priority order, you can focus on thinking of %s for the largest ones, and you can try and analyze all of the different parts of problems for later so that you’re moving forward…
You could also find 10 self care activities for if you need to re-fill for any of the +4 to +10 goals above. For example, what activities can you find for your children? What activities can you find for yourself? If you feel depleted, can you do self-care activity 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, etc?
But you have to do them in ways that you most want to do the +4 to +10 goals- the should goals
You could ask other people about the self-care activities that they’re thinking about doing, so that you can find out more about these
You could think about specific goals around self-care… for example, do you want more energy, do you want more help to continue doing really difficult work, do you want to recover effectively between work, do you want methods to overcome overwhelm (e.g. by writing it all down and focusing on a few +4 to +10 things at a time), do you want help with how to solve a specific problem, % by %…
You could search for psychologist specialists there, they would start coming in soon hopefully…
If any of my methods have helped, can you please move towards staying within +5 to +10 ethical, and safely, safely, safely encouraging at-risk people to stay within +5 to +10 ethical forever?
These methods are how we create a long-term good, growing, safe world where we keep moving towards the international 10,000,000 most needed international development goals (including good 9 to 5s for everyone, good commutes, good people in your regions, a good world for everyone in the world).
Hopefully things
