Pay Attention to Your Dreams

Your dreams are more than a fleeting source of nighttime entertainment.  Much like the dashboard of your car, which tells you what's going on under the hood, your dreams tell you what's going on inside your system.  Pay attention to what's happening in your dreams, remember them, and write them down, because they are an important clue to what you are really feeling.

Wear Many Hats

We use only a fraction of our powers.  Most of us operate as if minimizing our efforts, whether intellectual or physical, were the ideal.  When we maximally use our abilities to pursue our various interests, we maximize our capacity to live.

Listen to Your Favorite Music

A song is so much more than sound to us.  It is a feeling, a memory, a new world, a trip back to an old world.  Keep music in your life wherever you go.

Remember to care for Youself When Caring for Others

When we are a caregiver for a loved one, nearly all of our efforts are poured into that person's life and needs.  It is truly a selfless act.  But we must remember that to care for ourselves is not a selfish act.  We have to make sure there is enough support in our lives to sustain the efforts we are making.  Respecting your needs is the best way to continue offering care to someone else.
