However in my defense...I don't wear my crackberry on my hip it is in my purse. Thanks again for all the great tips. I am already feeling better, the mind shift is happening!

We are running businesses and we have to act like WE are running the business and not the business running us, I am not that important that if I am away from my computer the world will end. I have learnt that people will wait, not forever but they will wait a few hours for any answers they need from me. So I concur with Greg- turn off BB Elaine (I do not want it, LOL), take a drive, relax and enjoy your time. Business will be there waiting for you when you get back! okay I will add something to my post- I do NOT own a BB and do not plan to.

I will investigate further, thanks for info. @Greg I can't wait to see the fall colors on the way to the Lake tomorrow. The skipper and I are actually heading out for a java date right now and without the BB, thanks. @karen I checked out the site you mentioned…t-tapp looks very interesting.

Elaine, over the last couple of weeks you have been going full out. School is back on, Scouting is back on. And you have been driving your business. Have you given yourself even one little break? Yesterday I drove up the back route to Fredericton via Cambridge Narrows to the Beaverbrook Gallery. Drove back via the SJ River valley. The fall colours were amazing, the gallery is incredible, Even had a little picnic. I really separated from my out-of-work angst. I'm back feeling a whole lot more invigorated today. Perhaps you and the skipper need a little break together. Turn off the BB or give it to Kim for the day.

I do a 15-20 min. workout every other morning and that helps a lot. It forces me to concentrate on something else besides business (I run two online businesses from home), like my form and breathing. Check out www.t-tapp.com for more info on that. :-) Exercise – doesn’t even have to be daily. I do a 15-20 min. workout every other morning and that helps a lot.

Every night after everyone else has gone to bed(I am the night Hawk in our house) no matter how late or cold or rainy or snowy I go out in my backyard, or just open the back door if it is really crappy out, and I breath in the fresh air and thank the Universe for my life. Sometimes I spend 15 minutes out there other days I am so tired I only spend a minute, but no matter the length of time I use this time to BREATH, to reconnect with myself, to let go of all the days 'stuff', to prepare for a peaceful sleep and get refreshed for the next day and be ready for whatever may be thrown a me. As long as I can breath, I figure I am doing pretty good! Breath- sometime we forget to just breath.

And try working full time at a 9 to 5-er AND building a home business. I hear you, Elaine. Yesterday I put a stop to all my rushing around and sat down and ... well, just sat down. And boy, did it feel good. Just connected with myself. I need to remember to do this every single day. Whew! And try working full time at a 9 to 5-er AND building a home business. I hear you, Elaine.
