Irritated and a little dazed, I wanted nothing more than to just keep driving. I didn&#8217;t have time for this. It was the first day of my &#8216;Boost your Business&#8217; weekend which I had organized for 14 Dutch entrepreneurs in Cura\u00e7ao. The participants were there waiting for me, and I also had to prepare for the BBQ that evening. After the workshop I needed to finish my new book &#8216;Handboek voor Wereldburgers&#8217; to have it in stores a few weeks later. My calendar was full of lectures, workshops and trips. No time to waste&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At least check if your bumper is damaged&#8221; said a sensible voice in my head. I was shocked when I saw the back of my car: it was half a meter shorter. The big jeep behind me was also badly damaged. My car turned out to be a total write off and I had a whiplash.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Everything stopped with a bang\" title=\"Everything stopped with a bang\" src=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1a.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-36204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1a-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1a-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1a-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1a.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>The whiplash caused pain in my neck and back, I was not able to sit or stand for long, not able to lift anything, and I had to move extremely slowly. More than that, I was not able to think, concentrate or read properly. I was nauseous. After doing nothing for a few hours, I would have to go back to sleep again, to give my head a rest.<\/p>\n<p>How do you find place for forced rest in a busy, productive and driven life? You can&#8217;t. Yet an accident like this forces you to redefine all your priorities. Tim Ferriss writes in his book <em>The 4-hour workweek<\/em>: &#8220;What if you could or could only work for half an hour a day, for whatever reason, what would you do and would you not do?&#8221; Before the accident, the concept seemed inconceivable. What situation could occur that you could only work for half an hour a day? Now I knew what it was. And I also learned right away that I had to choose really well in that half hour. If I accidentally spent half an hour on Facebook, my energy would be used up for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p>The funny thing was that everything I dropped was either picked up by others or it just had to wait. I was grateful for Martijn Aslander and Peter Ros who filled in for me on the Boost your Business weekend (Thanks!).\u00a0 People would send me a reminder about really important things, but the rest just waited. It turned out that some things just weren&#8217;t that important and didn&#8217;t have to be done at all.<\/p>\n<p>The things that I learned direcly after the accident (and that I am still learning today) can be useful, even if you don&#8217;t get into an accident:<\/p>\n<\/div><ul style=\"--awb-size:16px;--awb-line-height:27.2px;--awb-icon-width:27.2px;--awb-icon-height:27.2px;--awb-icon-margin:11.2px;--awb-content-margin:38.4px;--awb-circlecolor:#027582;--awb-circle-yes-font-size:14.08px;\" class=\"fusion-checklist fusion-checklist-1 fusion-checklist-default type-icons\"><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-icon-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p>Focus on one thing at a time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-icon-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p>Adjust your expectations<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-icon-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p>Don&#8217;t waste time and energy on people and things that don&#8217;t matter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-icon-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p>Listen to your body.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-icon-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p>Appreciate how full life is normally<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-icon-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p>Clear your calendar, remove your commitments and try and keep it that way.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-icon-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p>Recognize perfectionism towards self and others and let it go.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-icon-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p>Explore the wonderful world of yoga, breathing, relaxation and mindfullness.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon awb-icon-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p>Embrace the siesta<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>While I was writing &#8216;Handboek voor Wereldburgers&#8217; and living the associated nomadic lifestyle, I&#8217;d already done a lot of minimizing (fewer things, less paper, fewer to do&#8217;s), but the accident added an extra dimension: only the most essential things could be given space. I&#8217;d enjoyed all the workshops that I had given (at a frantic pace) the year before in Berlin, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bCura\u00e7ao and Mallorca and other beautiful locations. The following year needed to be one of peace, of flow.<\/p>\n<p>About a year before this accident, I felt displaced. The three places that I loved all fell away. Then I fell in love with a new place. I bought a beautiful old farmhouse in Mallorca with my partner (my &#8216;Mr Wrong&#8217;). The quiet village life and the 5000 square metres of\u00a0 almond trees called me, more than ever. I wanted to rest there for a few months, get better, reconnect with the earth, nature and with myself. Pure life in the moment. People may want to come by and enjoy my (new) rhythm &#8230; To learn about self-sustainable living, eating from nature and more.<\/p>\n<p>So everything ends up back on its feet again. A new place, a new balance, a new pace. Perhaps a new book in due course?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"960\" alt=\"Everything stopped with a bang\" title=\"Everything stopped with a bang\" src=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1b.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-36206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1b-200x125.jpg 200w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1b-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1b-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1b-800x500.jpg 800w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1b-1200x750.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1b.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p><em>This post was originally published in Dutch as &#8216;My moment of 2015&#8217; on www.mijnmoment.com<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I braked for a turn, the car behind me did not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":36206,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sfsi_plus_gutenberg_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_show_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_type":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_alignemt":"","sfsi_plus_gutenburg_max_per_row":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[122,103],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","category-about-esther"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
