EuroSTAR Survival Kit — in 5 small steps.

So.. #EuroSTARConf is in full swing.. and it is the second day only out of four. How do we survive to so many things?

1. Take a break ⏱️

• we tend to try to do them all — see all companies from the expo in order not to miss anything, do some networking but also run to all sessions you chose on the schedule. Most of times, that will leave you with no free minutes, neither for important need.. yes, those..
• having a break will bring back the energy, the curiosity, will clear your thoughts and can create other opportunities.
• all the exponents, all the swag — do you really need to know all the tools? Demos are online most of times. Choose those you have questions for or you use their tools. for the swag, do you really need 10 pens?

2. Drink water 🥤

• Water — most overseen super power! Have a sip from time to time, don’t forget to drink it. Dehydration is the first step to have head aches and we all know no one likes those.
• The working well theme is also represented in the “coffee breaks “ — 4 fresh juices are at your disposal to try to detox, re-energize, refresh..

3. (Do a bit of) Exercise 🧘‍♀️

• Take the stairs, do some steps — might bit a bit of effort but we need that blood flowing.. Trust me, alternating seating with moving is the best..
• go to the yoga session — did I mention the theme is Working Well? Yes, did — and it is present in the morning with some yoga sessions. Stretch a bit, take care of the back, breath deeply..
• try the fun run — If you are a bit into higher efforts — join the fun run! Wednesday morning, 5K, fun people!

4. Stay warm! 🧣

• Was a long autumn here in Europe, so for the fellow Europeans these are the first days of cold. Put a scarf on, take a beanie ( I saw some in the expo too!) , have a hot drink.

5. Was your hands 🧼

• the simplest gesture ever to keep out of germs. We are over 1K here, many traveled, it is col outside. Yes, I am thinking of those little germs that are so easy to carry from one to other.. Sorry for this a bit awkward advice, but it a simple one.

These are just few bites you can try to give you some space, rest and energy.

I do hope the intensity of the event will be for the best, and you will enjoy it deeply.
