Forcing myself to leave the house with my kids and take them to the park, bike riding, golfing, or any place to just hang out, no answering cell phone calls unless it’s my husband or eldest son. At first, it created more stress for me. I felt like I was flaking out on everything I should be doing. Over time, it has gotten easier and, even, enjoyable. Gasp!! Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? I had gotten so busy that I had to retrain myself to do the things I should have been doing all along! The commitment to this time for them has forced me to learn to say “no” to other things that will clutter my life.

Oh, and we do CrossFit WOD’s together 3-4x a week.

Nice post!

I’ve learned that when I eat clean, my stress levels tend to decline… A guy I saw on PBS and have grown to really like, Dr. Daniel Amen, calls out Avo, walnuts and blue berries (aka brain berries) as good brain food. He also talks about the importance of working out, which also tends to help me.

I second the dog notion. Playing with the Choogs helps bring me back to center and realize what living the good life is all about.

Plan ahead and don’t commit to 2,000 activities a week. We don’t always have to be busy and doing stuff and going places and talking and texting and on the go in order to be happy.

Learn to enjoy being alone and not always worrying about what everyone else is doing.

Oh, and get a dog. Or four.

I show up to Crossfit and get killed. It works every time.
