Do you feel well rested?

According to the Gallup World Poll, 72 % of male and 65 % of female respondents feel well rested, the remaining 28 and 35 % respectively do not. How’s your work-play-rest balance shaping up lately?

sorry, no post this week

Dearest readers,

while I was flying back from a cross-cultural training in Chicago on Wednesday night, my husband had to call the fire brigade because apparently lightning struck so close that our flat took the brunt of it. Yes, buying a lottery ticket has crossed our minds!

We’re safe. Most light bulbs blew out, appliances died, and smoke out of walls convinced us that moving up our planned local move is a good idea. So that’s what we’re doing, and that leaves me little time and means to regale you with something more elaborate. Lovely as the iPhone is, typing long texts is no fun.

Fingers crossed my bag from Chicago will make it here soon, and that Earthlink can set up internet in our new place asap.

Until then, stay safe and have a good one!

Being kind to yourself, continued

Thanks for coming back! Last week we started talking about differences of personality type and culture and I shared some things I’m learning as I go along. Looking back over my last few years of study, the second thing I’ve realized is that thinking somebody else has the answer and comparing myself to others is a treacherous path.

To thine own self be kind

That’s the phrase Liz left us all with after her talk at the Eisemann Center last month. You may be more familiar with the classic variation of being true to thine self, and after reading up a bit more about personality type preferences and the influence of our cultural backgrounds, I got to thinking about the connection between the two.
