Tree of RECOVERY

Hello my dear friends...

After long research in computer language and lots of trials and errors I hope I will now be able to make you all a wonderful present:

The TREE of RECOVERY

Laugh
Relax
Forgive
Do a favour
Ask for help
Go for a run
Delegate tasks
Break a habit
Express yourself
Give yourself a present
Paint a picture. Smile at a child
Finish a project. Listen to nature
Read a good book. Sing in the shower
Listen to a friend. Accept a compliment
Show your happiness. Write in your diary
Treat yourself like a friend. Love animals
Go to the library and listen to silence
Help an elderly person. Keep your promises
Allow yourself to shine. Look at old pictures
Make a family album. Have a long hot bubble bath
For today, don’t worry. Allow somebody to help you
Look at a flower with all your attention. Lose some time
Tell your loved ones how much you love them
Switch off the TV and talk. Listen to your favourite music
Know that you are not alone. Make a little change in your life
Make a list of the things you do well. Make somebody feel welcome
Learn something you always wanted to. Be a child once again
Close your eyes and imagine the waves on the beach
Appreciate what you have
Go for a walk
Name a star
Plan a trip
Ring a friend
Cultivate love
Take a deep breath
And finally… SMILE

Enjoy reading and doing...

Lots of love to you all this weekend,
xxx Robin ;-) xxx

El árbol de recuperación...

Hey Yvonne...
(...and those of you who love Spanish...)
I did a Spanish version of the tree as well, so you can pass it on in Lanzarote... ;-)

El árbol de recuperación

Ríe
Perdona
Relájate
Pide ayuda
Sal a correr
Haz un favor
Delega tareas
Expresa lo tuyo
Rompe un hábito
Haz una caminata
Piensa en lo que tienes
Dale un nombre a una estrella
Pinta un cuadro. Sonríe a tu hijo
Permítete brillar. Mira fotos viejas
Lee un buen libro. Canta en la ducha
Escucha a un amigo. Acepta un cumplido
Sé niño otra vez. Escucha la naturaleza
Muestra tu felicidad. Escribe en tu diario
Ve a la biblioteca y escucha el silencio
Trátate como un amigo. Ama a los animales
Ayuda a un anciano. Cumple con tus promesas
Haz un álbum familiar. Date un baño prolongado
Cierra los ojos e imagina las olas de la playa
Por hoy no te preocupes. Deja que alguien te ayude
Mira una flor con atención. Pierde un poco de tiempo
Apaga el televisor y habla. Escucha tu música preferida
Aprende algo que siempre deseaste. Termina un proyecto deseado
Llama a tus amigos por teléfono. Haz un pequeño cambio en tu vida
Haz una lista de las cosas que haces bien. Hazle sentir bienvenido a alguien
Dile a las personas amadas cuánto las quieres
Sepas que no estás sola
Hazte un regalo
Planifica un viaje
Respira profundo
Cultiva el amor
POR ÚLTIMO… SONRÍE

Con mucho cariño y un fuerte abrazo,
xxx Robin ;-) xxx
