The Rocco Effect - You Come First

I’m giving you permission to take care of yourself first, so you can do a better job of being generous in the long run. - Scott Adams 

The Rocco Effect - You Come First

We often wear ourselves down, taking care of others, until we make ourselves sick.  When we're sick we're of no use to anyone, in fact we then become a burden.  Others then need to take care of us, until we are fit again. 

We should take care of ourselves first, then help others.  If we're fit and happy we'll be in a much better shape to offer help, we won't experience burn out or make ourselves sick, plus we make progress everyday.

Help other, but don't put others health, before your own.  Ask for help, but take steps to avoid burnout.


Task

1. What can you stop doing to feel 100% again?
2. Who do you need to say 'No' to?
3. How can you take back more control of your own life?
4. How would you feel after spending more time on yourself?

Whenever you are in a state of truly loving life remind yourself 'This is all on loan.'  Be grateful and take in all you can, cause one day, memories is all you'll have left.

And who knows maybe you just might learn something from it all. 1st of the line test.  This helps me picture whats going to happen and lets me test out wether the animations work or not.  Also alot easier to make changes at this stage as its so basic. I then move on to a fleshed out version.  Basically the final version without the details.  This allows me to see how the final version will look and allows me to make any changes before the final version, were it will be much harder to change as there is a-lot more detail in it. I then add some basic colours to show me how it looks coloured.  This allows me to see what changes need to be made to the outlines. And finally the final version.  Cleaned up lines and the final colours.  I wish i had more time to spend on the lines and th...
