I will NOT look around my house and become overwhelmed by all the things that I feel need to be done, allowing my to enjoy my son and my husband, the sunshine, the day's full potential of FUN!

Not checking e-mail constantly at work and worse, not responding to every single e-mail the moment it arrives.

Proud to say I have steadfastedly refused to be a slave to my cell phone for several years not but the e-mail thingie got me good.

Thank you for being a good example about #s 1, 2, and 4, which have been major stress bombs for me lately. We all need to know when to say no to these things, and I appreciate your mentioning them. I will try to say no more often!

Amen to Carrie's thoughts. I have been under a lot of stress lately, and I am realizing that not responding to other people who are wanting me to be their source of support with their own stress would take a lot of pressure off of me. I am trying to be positive in this difficult time, and if I take care of myself and do what I need to do to be ok, I am far more likely to be a good coach and resource to others, than if I feel I have to take on everyone else's difficulty as my own.

Clean out the evil corner cupboard in my kitchen with water bottles, snack containers and mason jars. It's completely out of control, things tumble out at will and finding what I need makes me bonkers. I have been putting it on my to do list for weeks and have neglected it. http://www.snickerdoodles.typepad.com

I can NOT go to soccer practice with my 5 year old son and let his Dad take him instead. An extra hour is coming my way…for yoga and puttering. Ahhh…
