The daily grind. *They* don’t call it grind for nothing! For me, it’s not that everyday is the same… it’s that the week just keeps on coming! Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday… Set the alarm and — GO! GO! GO!
Like most women, I hit the ground running with my list of to-do’s… from deadlines to family needs to beyond! It is exceedingly easy to get caught-up in all the DOing and GOing. Whether I realize I do it or not, there are things I do to give my mind a break and add a little repreive from the chaos — even if tiny bits at a time.
- I always get my coffee on. It is a physical and psychological lift.
- I check in on the Facebook. I work from home, Facebook is my little water cooler. And also Twitter *cheesy grin*.
- My dirty little secret? 15 minutes a week I hit the tanning bed. I know, but I do… I live in the Pacific Northwest and I look VERY forward to my 15 minutes of warmth every 7th day! It is just about the only time my feet are without socks!
- I try to keep my hunger in check. It is easy for my to dig in and forget to eat. I am not very efficient when working on an empty stomach.
Speaking of food…
I just got to try the Ritz Crackerfuls Cheddar Cheese and Bacon filled crackers. To be honest, I was skeptical, but am a skeptic no more. The crackers are very tasty, and the bacon gives a nice kick! Besides… BACON!
Cheese-filled crackers often times have a bland flavor, but not these. And since they are packaged individually, it is an easy snack to keep in a desk drawer, or in the glove compartment when a gal needs to grab a quick *something* to take off that edge!
I’m curious. What is one thing you integrate into your day that helps you refocus, or helps you remember you are human and not just a GO machine?

I like take time to go out on my deck with my kitties and relax!
I watch a special needs boy and I like to get on the floor with him and wrestle.
Well, for me it is taking 20 minutes in the morning to read the newspaper.

My dog helps me refocus. He is a stress reliever, always happy to see me.
I take time to gather my thoughts everyday, and that helps to remind me.

I integrate a walk into my day-it energizes me, and relaxes me, all at the same time!
I break up my workday with a quick look at my email, a fresh cup of coffee and a quick stretch.

Every evening at 5:00 , I sit and watch the news and just focus on the things I’ve accomplished for the day.
Closing my eyes and breathing deeply for ten minutes helps me “refocus”!

No matter what, I always find time to listen to my fave music even if it’s when I’m walking my dog or doing the dishes. It is so easy for me to forget about real life and enjoy something when I am listening to some Jack White
One thing I integrate into my day that helps me refocus is to just play a bit of music on my stereo. It’s nice to just sit back and relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of music.
