What do you do to switch off?

Hi everyone,

I find it SO DIFFICULT to switch OFF from work. What do you do to SWITCH OFF? I always feel I have to be doing something work related. If not I feel like I am wasting time!

I dont work weekends you will usually find me subject to the weather either gardening,down looking after my bees or out metal detecting every sunday,apart from that not alot

Well, it just depends. If work is getting overwhelming or I just get tired of sitting in front of the computer I may go grab a brewski or share a pitcher (or four) with a friend as I let my thoughts from earlier in the day kind of soak in and begin to have lasting impact.

I ride BMX a LOT when its warm out, so when the snow melts I have that to fall back on. My mind will be completely elsewhere.

Typically though, I may shut the 'business mind' off for a few minutes, but even going out, riding my bike, etc I will have begin to develop new ideas and thoughts that I put into practice.

What is this off you speak of? I don't seem to ever be off, something always needs to be done for one of my businesses.

But seriously I do Karate and on any pleasant day I give my dog an hour walk when I take my lunch break. It helps break up the day nd keep everything manageable.

Music. I don't listen to much music, and I relisten to songs over and over, but I certainly switch off. Its nice

I bellydance once a week.
And Bikram Yoga 2-3 times a week.. So that is 1.5 hours most days of the week..
And then on the remaining nights and Sunday's, I usually wind down by doing "home" things like folding laundry while watching tv.. and being a good wife.. lol.

So I do try to have at least 2 hours a day (sleeping doesn't count), where I don't focus on the store..

even still.. you can never really switch it off.
