<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Around a work meeting yesterday, the person I was with came up with this:<br />Native </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">American recognise as
many as 5 different genders <br />and one of the monotheisms recognises 6. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I had no idea, and I am definitively not surprised about the Native American belief system; I am
definitively more about the monotheism. <br />In this particular case, I could only
find a factual description of those 6 types of individuals, nothing on how they
were socially considered. <br />At least, there is a recognition of potential differences.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">There was no difference in the tasks Female or Male had to do in the group. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">whatever they were capable of bringing to their community was considered as useful: This is the liberating idea.</span><br />How many genders are recognised in your own culture and religion ?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">What are the representation of masculinity and femininity in your world ?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Where are you with this representation ?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Cultural and religious gender representation does assign <span style="font-size: 12pt;">social roles to </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">one individual who might not always fit in.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As
I was walking this morning in this English fresh, cold and sunny Monday, my
brain got caught by the trillions of droplets in the grass that were shining
like diamonds. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nonetheless my thoughts began jumping around.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Maybe those who do not
practice have, one day watched a match and can relate to this as well.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When you play sport, and probably most sport if not all; you have to see and
feel where your opponent is, in order to be able to physically place yourself
properly.</span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some players can even do that
the fraction of the second before their adversary do, so they are ahead in the
match.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The player keeps their own strengths, their put their personality in the game
and adapts, takes into account the other player’s moves to be more efficient,
whether they will attack or defend.</span></span></div>

Just take a few second to visualize this. With Tennis, Boxing, Golf, Volley-ball,
Soccer . . . See them moving, see how they react …</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now check this with relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What could happen if you adopt the attitude to stay connected with who you are
and place yourself where you will get the best outcome for yourself with what
you have to deal with ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Could you diminish the unwanted feelings that sometimes – often ? – come along
: aggressivity, frustration, anger, rage
… ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would that help to switch them into assertiveness, calm, strength and peace ?</div>

Nowadays, when young adults are asked what is their dream goal, they <span class="_5yi_" style="font-style: italic;">usually</span> answer they want to be rich and famous.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
There is a Harvard study, which began 75 years ago, on 724 men divided in two groups. One group is composed of teenagers coming from Boston poorest neighborhood and the second group of wealthy young men who went to college.
The study focused on knowing what make people happy.
Every year, the men were asked about their work, home life, health … to go to brain scans … and finally, women were interviewed too <span class="_5yi_" style="font-style: italic;">(finally !)</span>. 60 of those men are still alive today and 200 children of those men are still being studied. Some men became upwardly mobile socially, some were sliding down in the social scale. One became president of the USA.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
The lessons learned through this exceptionally long study is not about wealth or fame.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">

<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight: bold;">Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
3 points:</div>

1/ Social connections to family and friends, to community are good for us; they participate to a longer and healthier life. Loneliness kills, the brain declines sooner, health is less good, life is shorter. 1 in 5 Americans report they are lonely.

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_5yi_" style="font-style: italic;">“</span>If more isolated than the person wants to be from others”<span class="_5yi_" style="font-style: italic;">: this is highly important to precise. Two persons will have different needs of level of social implication, of social contacts. What matters is the difference between the need the person has and what they are getting out of their life.</span>
</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
2/ <span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight: bold;">You can be lonely in a crowd or in a marriage.</span>
It is not the number of friends you have or if you are in a committed relationship that matters.
<span class="_5yi_" style="font-style: italic;">It is the quality that matters</span>. Conflicts are really bad for your health.
</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_5yi_" style="font-style: italic;">I would add here, that recognizing and facing conflict is healthier than keeping your unhappiness / rage mute. You would ‘eat’ yourself from inside. Conflicts are part of life.</span>
</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Bad marriage is probably worse than getting divorced.
<span class="_5yi_" style="font-style: italic;">It would be interesting to define what ‘bad marriage is according to the person’s culture, sub-cultures and beliefs.</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
People who were the most satisfied in their relationship at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_5yi-" style="font-weight: bold;">Physical pain is magnified by emotional pain</span></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
3/ A good relationship protects our body and our mind. Being in a securely, attached relationship in your 80ies makes your memories stay sharper and longer.
When you feel you can count on the other one.
</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Those good relationships don’t have to be smooth all the time.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Relationships - are <span class="_5yi_" style="font-style: italic;">can be - </span>messy and complicated; they are not always sexy or glamourous. </div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
The happiest people in their retirement had actively worked to replace work mate with play mate.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #141823; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
So, how about you ?
How about replacing screen time with people time ?
Doing something new together ?

Walking in the Surrey hills</div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">« Anytime you feel anger, towards something
outside of yourself, question it, as being angry with a mirror does not make
sense. »<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Golden rule<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Understanding this postulate can help you know
yourself better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Though, I would decorate this concept with different
words, like, for example:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Each time a feeling is provoked by an event gushes
forth an emotion in you; this emotion grows from pre-existing roots of your
inner system (body & mind);<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You react to what already exists in you more than to
what you are confronted to at the time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">Why ?<br />
<br />
Because this emotion is the fruit of a ‘event / feeling’ couple<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Your experience originates fromthe factual and
emotional memory of one of your event / emotion anterior couples.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">Explanation:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">You encounter Event
1 E1. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You develop feelings and emotions F1<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you encounter now an event E2 that your memory links
with E1 (because of similarities, same persons, context ..)<br />
You then edit F1 and, frequently unconsciously, linked with E1.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">F1 is your emotional root.<br />
F2 (feeling linked with the new event) will most probably be similar to F1 (no such
thing as 100% for human being comprehension)<br />
<br />
This rolling logic is true, whether the event / feeling couples emanate from
the agreeable well or from the traumatic well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">Conséquences ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What you understand and you feel is issued from your
highly personal grid of understanding of the world around you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In other words, You get your environment more from
your individual grid of understanding than from what you are confronted with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">One idea: To understand your today, you may question
your yesterday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Feeling angry towards this person who gets on your
nerves is not useful, except for creating an explosion of aggressiveness –
internal or external- that will affect negatively you and the other.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Much more interesting is to let the other where they
are in their own life with no judgement – what’s the point ? –<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You chose your own place with the distance you wish to
have<br />
and<br />
asking yourself: Where on earth does that aggressiveness come from in me ?<br />
What is it linked to ?<br />
What can I understand from it ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I am mentioning aggressiveness, it could be anxiety ….<br />
Anyway<br />
<br />
Look for Love or Fear<br />
Always.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When Bryon Katie mentions that it does not make sense,
I would not say so.<br />
<br />
I believe there is always a reason. There is a sense to it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 22.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #4d4f51; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This concept is one key to all therapy approach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
I am not talking about what you read about it or what your life partner, friends have to say about it. But what you do think and feel about it</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
What does those internet connections bring into your life ?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Daily, short, medium, long term ?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
The +s ? the –s ?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
How about taking some time to think about this ?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
And I am going to be as annoying as those people who are carrying out an audit: what time re you spending on a screen ?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Personal and professionally wise ?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
I can tell you that this is very interesting to objectively assess this time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
You can write this down, say for one day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Then you can begin to perceive your virtual reality.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
I know … virtual reality … what’s that ?!?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
While navigating on the net; is there anything else you feel you don’t have time to do at the end of your day ?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
If the answer is yes, it may be surprising to re assess this affirmation of not having time for X or Y.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
I do believe that the negative aspects of it begin to interfere when their threshold is too high.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
What is too high then ?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
A threshold becomes too high when its negative consequences create blocages, avoidances, difficulties, discomforts … in your life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
We, as humans, have common needs – amount / quality of sleep, of social connections, of rest . ..</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
their threshold can vary for each individual.: some of us can need up to 9 hours of sleep per night when others can do with only 6.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Though, under 6 hrs per night, if regular, we all disfunction.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

Possible impacts of high threshold</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
- Preventing from other wanted or necessary activities</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
- Augmenting social isolation</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
- Decreasing sometimes not having rest time which may lead to aggressivity, impatience.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
- Operating mainly at a rhythm which is not our body’s rhythm. Power of concentration is modified, pace of thoughts is higher.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Addiction ? FYI, there are centers where people can go to be treated and cured from video games addiction.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Ask yourself this question: can I function normally without it ?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Does my behaviour change ? even better; go real: Withdraw it from your life and see what happens in you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Now, you know.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
I suggest you try to stay some time ( you to define it) with no connection.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Check what is happening for you / in you. Nice ? Horrible ? Whare is your conclusion ?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
I am not talking here about all the incredible positive aspects of being connected.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
They are numerous. Again, you to know what they are for you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
PS: I am personally addicted and find cutting from them sometimes give me time and space for so much more difference !</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Some people have told me:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
“I simple cannot stop”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
And</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
“ Gosh, what a difference it made withdrawing them from my life for a week !”</div>

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b><div style="margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: center;">
This person was struggling after her life partner left her.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Here are a few words she shared with me at the end of her coaching, while she was assessing her work with me.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I learned a lot about myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's ok to be selfish from time to time, and put yourself first. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm learning how to do this without feeling guilty</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm also learning I'm worth to be loved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a strong woman who can be proud of herself!</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm relieved my love for X won't turn into hate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that I will be able to give it a place in my life.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
About the coaching itself, I liked the length of the assessments, and I liked the flexibility.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
What I liked most is that you know how my brain works. What my traps are, and how you warned me for them.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
You also gave me the feeling again that I knew what I was doing, doing it right, at an extreme pace.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Hearing it from you made me believe in myself again, and that's exactly what I need.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
You also showed me how to get control over myself again, even if my world was completely out of control.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know if the bubble exercise was really helpful – this is an NLP exercise we had prepared and was not helpful for this lady at that time -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One evening I had a conversation with X for the first time since a long time, and I think that helped me better than the bubble exercise. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it was probably because of the therapy I was able to have that conversation.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emotionally I'm stable again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I certainly didn't expect to be in a happy place again so soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It went much faster than expected.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed this therapy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I analyse my mind a lot already, but it's nice to have a guide who knows what she is doing, and to stop me if I'm getting to harsh on myself.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
The coaching helped a lot ! And I would recommend you ! “</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
During a coaching, it is the result between the person's commitment, understanding and reaction to what I am helping them understand about their life organisation / behaviour patterns that makes the difference.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not the person alone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not me alone.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a combination of 2 commitments. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One personal and one professional.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Here are below a few sentences people shared while working with me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">You probably will feel you could have said one or several of those !</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">“I am back home for one year now and I do not fit with all those people who have never moved from their home !”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">“I had Post Traumatic Stress Symptom </span><span style="color: #999999;">Disorder</span><span style="color: #999999;"> for 3 months after I was back home.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">“My family does not work the same way as families in my country, so it is very hard to fit in for all of us.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">“I became a very different person while expatriating.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">“The first weeks back home were horrible.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">“I felt like disconnected from my old friends”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Etc … etc … etc … this could go endlessly !</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I began to feel, more or less consciously, the issues of repatriating when my own family did. I was then a child and never even had the conscious we were expatriates. So repatriates …. Even less ! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">We were </span><span style="color: #999999;">just</span><span style="color: #999999;"> </span><span style="color: #999999;">moving. We were together, and this was all fine to me then.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">It took me years to understand why my home (internal family daily organisation), </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">my house (interior decoration), </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">my family dynamics (conversation, references, very strong bond between us …) were so different from those of my friends at school. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I have to add that I loved those differences ! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">That was very positive to me ! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I felt special and I liked it; by the way, isn’t that a very specific expat feeling ? !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">And it took me years to understand as well the dysfunctions related to the expat. / repat. history of my family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Then I chose to work with migrants while I was a social worker / now as a life coach.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">One thing is for sure:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">When you migrate, the notion of return / repatriation comes in the game at the same time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Whether actually you repatriate … or not.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">This, because the very first psychological, cultural …. bath of your home family, your home country represent your roots and your first life ‘trampoline’ you jumped from.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">You cannot avoid that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">This is the migrant fate. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">The return is always there. Fantasy or reality. You cannot do without. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">So, better facing it. In its reality or in your dreams; or it may well lead you to pretty uncomfortable places. Or not. Who can know in advance ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I am not yet a fortune teller ;o)</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Repatriation or reverse culture shock; </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">What is happening ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">First of all; Do not believe that you WILL struggle going back home ! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Struggling, for all of us depends on our personality. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">And even the most cheerful people do struggle and have ups and downs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Some old psychological fractures can be reactivated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">It also depends on which life page we are at. What you have to face at that moment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">What does the return represents; is it wanted or not ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">If it is synonymous of “Yeah ! Great ! I am so happy to go back home! “ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Because finally, I will be closer to my family / my old friends </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Because, finally I will get back that job I was longing to have ! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Or it may be synonymous of “ Oh Sprountz no ! “</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Because you were so happy in this host country, so many fab friends / activities</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Because you do not want to face your family /old friends</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Because your country will put you in a place of less freedom</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">…</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I do not think it is possible to know in advance for sure. Though there are red lights to be aware of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Be honest with the way you feel when thinking about your repatriation and the red warning lights will show naturally if there are. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">That is the very first step to get this ok.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">The, seek help if needed.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Repatriates never get back to what they knew before leaving. This is impossible. Life is about change. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">You have changed, People back home have changed. Be real. You all have moved on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">You will not find back your old habits. They do not exist anymore. You will need to create new ones.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">You may be disappointed to realise that actually people are not mad curious about what you have experienced here and there in the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">They may show they are dead bored after 10 mn you excitedly talk about that beautiful place you have been to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">This was not their life. It is yours.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">They are happy (or not) with their life, exactly the way you are with yours (or not)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">People back home do not need to connect with you. Their life is already oeganised.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">All parties will need time to (re)connect and truly feel each has a genuine interest in the other ‘s life. And this goes both ways.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">That leads me to a feeling that an expatriate shared with me one day. I found it extremely interesting as so rarely openly expressed and I am sharing it with you today as I think it plays a fair part in the expatriates relation with non-expatriates, and more specifically in the repatriation scenarri.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">This lady said that too many expatriates feel they know more than people who do not expatriate. They do judge and place themselves above.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">And there may be a jealousy from the non-expatriates when thinking about all the travels the life the expat has done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Both equations may blur in a very negative way the inter relation between people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Check where you are with this.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I dislike advice so much !</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I prefer listening to what people who have been through something say about it and then, maybe one , two or more or none may be useful to you.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Here is what I heard that I feel is interesting, to which I added my own views:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Approach your repatriation the same way you approach expatriation: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Be open</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Be flexible</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Start again and again. Do not give up</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Look for the positives. There are !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Be proactive and NOT hyper active; One very good friend instead of 50 / one self-esteem-boosting activity better than 50 boring-ish</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Go out, get away from this house if not yet a home</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Stop judging; this is your frustration that negatively finds a way out of your system.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">And maybe one point that belong the prevention department, so probably the most important one: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Do not cut yourself from home. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">One way or the other, do not deny your roots. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">This would mean denying part of yourself. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Not beneficial to you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Whatever the relation you have with home – location and people – that are part of you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">If you keep t:he connection at the level you chose to have, it will feel less of a big – huge ? – adjustment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">This is true for adults and children.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">The challenges always lie in the difference.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">If you reduce the difference by keeping in touch with home, it will end feel smoother to be back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">And if you never go back you may well benefit from it by feeling a stronger inner-peace, guilt-free.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Hope this helps, one way or the other !</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">All that made me bounce on the very specific situation of the
expatriates.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Most expatriates say their friends are family.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">They consider them as hugely important in their life. Sometimes more
than their original family.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Friends give a sense of belonging to a community. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Friends cut the social isolation. Very often, work is absent for one
person in the expat couple so social links cannot come from the ‘work department’<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Between friends, there is no common history. There is no past relation.
The board is blank when meeting the first time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">No ‘psychological debts’ to adjust to. Those can be anchored in several
generations.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">One can even invent themselves differently and ‘pretend’. Nobody will
know.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">No strings. Freedom to be.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">No need to stay in touch forever. Which gives more freedom to as there
is a choice.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Expatriation is like a ride in a taxi. You get in the new location, you
chose to draw new relationships, activities, roles. . . like you would chat
with the taxi driver and then you can get out of it. You are gone and keep what
you chose to keep from it; till the next one (back home or different location).
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">The difference is in the choice.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">You do not chose your family and all its history you are part of.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">You can chose your friends.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Nothing new there. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Many writers have created stories around this.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">One that pop into my mind instantly is the “Familles, je vous hais ! “ “Families,
I hate you !” from André Gide ( 22/11/1869-19/02/1951 – French author and winner
of the the Nobel prize in literature in 1947)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><span style="color: #783f04;">I believe that the expatriation frame makes this even more important.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">This morning, I decide to close my eyes and pick up one book from my library.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 17.563634872436523px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">“Meditate - </span><span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Day after day » by Christophe André</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Then I opened a page and the chapter said</span><span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">‘Breathing’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
My thoughts started to unroll . . .</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Breathing …</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Breathing sets the tempo of our body.</span><span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Of our thoughts.</span><span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Each of our organs has its own rhythm, its own way to work and they all are linked. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Breathing is one of those links.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
When you are stressed, your breathing changes instantly. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
It becomes faster, shallow and sits in your upper chest</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Our breath, interior invisible wind, never stops moving.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
No life without it. It connects our inside to the outside world.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Breathing is a powerful way to be in the present moment. Connecting to it, feeling it and following it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Breathing is a precious moment to nestle into the rhythm of your being. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Not before, not after. Now and where you are in that instant.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Working on one’s breath is, for a moment at least, getting rid of some pain, </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
slowing down one’s pace too often intense.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
I suggest that several times a day, you follow your breath, imagine that it nourishes your body; </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
become aware of its own pace; of its journey in your body. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
'Play' with it, accelerate it, slow it down.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Gradually, it will become easier to make it just a little quieter, a little slower.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
If your breathing is centered at the top of your chest, </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
consciously move it down toward your lower abdomen.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">That's where its natural nest is.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">A few minutes a day, no more default breathing.</span><span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Conscious breathing instead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
It is a nice present. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
For you and those around you.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Have a great day !</div>

<span style="color: #666666;">Just before
a coaching this morning, I thought that I ( and the client) would benefit if I
did a meditation. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">Why and how
to meditate ?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">To stop
doing, moving, being agitated</span></div>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Both mentally and physically</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">If you are
just beginning to meditate, or not doing it regularly, you will probably find
yourself in a state of lack of that constant activity of ours.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">Do not
think that meditation cannot be for you. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">Meditation is a lifelong learning;</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">like probably your work can be. It does not come naturally and it is not a
gift. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">Like anything, some people will find it easier than others.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">No need
either to become a Buddhist monk to have the ‘right’ to meditate and get
benefits from it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">What could
the very first step be like ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Remaining motionless and silent; time for your thoughts and your body to calm
down and you start feeling what is happening in you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">When you
want to get what is happening, to reach that state of mindfulness, </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">then you
start again the reasoning process that can only lead you a little bit further
away from the access of your internal mental state.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">You get
used to this different state of mind, directly linked to your inner self, mind
and body, </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">differently connected to your environment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">Meditation
is for everyone.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">Those who
mainly work via their analytical brain, those who never stop will probably
benefit more from it. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">And may also find less easy to accept that different way
to be.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #274e13;">Meditation
does not come in opposition to the experience of intellectual reflection. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.15pt;">- Well, when you do yoga or stretching, you get
longer. Actually you go to your normal size. It’s because you were contracted,
kinda shrinked. We all do that without realizing it.</span></div>

<span class="textexposedshow"><div style="text-align: left;">

believe that all of us, children and adults need to be regularly fed with
positive attitudes, thoughts . . . without imposing ours on the other.</span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13.15pt;">It is about simply triggering reflections coming from the individual world,
while opening big the door of unlimited thoughts.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">What do our body functions detect ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">What does our soul, our reasoning, our emotions detect ?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 17.563634872436523px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Differences.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 17.563634872436523px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: center;">
Differences from other ways to function:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
What / who am I ? I am different. I do not fit in. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
This is painful.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
If there were no comparison, no judgment, no thought-boxes, there were no painful differences</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Differences from what was before :</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
I had . . . / I was . . . and now; I do not have, I am not anymore.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
This applies when there is a sense of loss.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Some attitudes, some thoughts, some angles do help.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Getting rid of the DENIAL element which leads to STOP. FREEZE.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">At everyone’s time and pace as denial is a self-protection construction.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">If you want to feel better,</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Face it.</span><span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Act – Get organized.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Many examples pop in my head that may be resumed in:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Change of daily activity</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Like:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Retirement from work.</span><span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Being made redundant</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Coming from work to full time parenting</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Coming from little kids to ‘sudden’ (for you) teenagers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
The message, from the society, from the family cell … is:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Thanks ! (when there is ) we don’t need you anymore !</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
OUCH ! That hurt</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
And you know what ?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
You can make something out of it, without hurting yourself or others.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Take some time for yourself – Yes, I know, that is a point where I usually get the answer :</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
- But I do not have time !</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Good! You do not have time.</span><span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Or you do not make time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
I know, you hate me for this one.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Doesn’t matter. I’ll keep repeating. As that’s the key to a big door to new possibilities</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">So, make time for yourself and get organised.</span><span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Before the big change hits you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Let’s not forget that differences may be highly positive as well</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">Even in the positive felt change, there is an in between zone that might contain elements of anxiety. That is positive stress.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
The – that hurt you now are an open window to see what can be changed to reach a more congruent situation.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
It is up to you</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Make yourself a lovely day !</div>

<span style="color: #666666;">In an interview this morning, someone who has been expatriating for about 10 years and moving a lot in their home country told me:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 17.563634872436523px; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">- At the beginning when you arrive in the new country and you know nobody and all is new,</span></div>
<span style="color: #666666;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">you are so judgemental ! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: 13.63636302947998px;">You criticise everything: Their religion, their accent, their habbits,.. everything !</span></div>
