I have always loved trying new things. I am open for suggestions on new products, especially when it’s organic, all natural stuff we are talking about. I believe different things works for different people and we all go true stages in our lives when different things are suitable for us, for that particulate period of our lives.
On myself, I have noticed a slight change ever since I have come to Australia this time. ( I have been back and forth countless times it seems! )This time’s challenges has been;
– being away from my family and friends. This has had an tremendous negative influence on me because I am used to being surrounded by these people, day and night.
-not working. One of the requirements of applying for de facto partner visa is that I am not allowed to work nor study in Australia. I am used to be busy, like all the time. My last work at Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden before my neck injury was beyond hectic. The entire hospital were under a complete “makeover” and I was part of the coordinator team, that meant stress, chaos and overtime.
– Unknown in regard to Visa. It has taken alot from both me and Ambrose to collect, organize and send in every evidence they Australian Immigration requires. The stress of that is one thing. Now we are in a stage where they are asking us to just wait….for perhaps up to 2 years….just waiting. That uncertain waiting alone is a whole chapter of stress on its own hahah.
Going from a busy life filled with daily activities and the support and laughter from family and friends to well, waking up everyday knowing you have nothing really to do, and you have nobody to do nothing with. That my friends is not ideal 🙂
The reson for this veeerrryyyy lllooonnngggg entry is that I have been trying different things to make my less stressed. One thing I am currently trying are Chinese Herbs. I got these 2 things from a friend; Karli who is into these things. I would never use just medicine but these are all natural, flowers, herbs and root mixes so I thought I give it a try.
I am also trying to eat better. Since I think I feel better without gluten I am having these kinds of breakfast; egg, smoked salmon, avocado and lots of greens. Green tea and smoothies from frozen berries and almond milk is also one of my favorite things right now. I can mix in the Chinese herbs into the smoothie and kind of get away from the nasty taste of it that way.
