Ever feel like you are on a treadmill and you can't stop it to get off?

That is how my life has been the last week.  Between getting ready for taxes, recitals, concerts, registration meetings for sports.....etc, I haven't any spare time it seems and NO time for me.  I haven't even had the time to get on my REAL treadmill to start my New Years resolution.

I found myself saying "if I can just get through with my tax stuff...things will calm down...".  Well, it hasn't really, everything else in line has just slid down right into place behind the other items in my life.

So what do you do?  JUST BREATHE!

Sit back, and take a DEEP breath (a really deep one) and then blow it all out. Then talk a look at the items you "have to" get done today.  In between a couple of those items...MAKE a space for "YOU TIME".  It doesn't have to be long.  It could simply be 5 minutes on the sofa with a cup of hot chocolate or your favorite candybar (my favorites).  Something that "takes you away"...a bath with aroma therapy and candles is even nice.  Find that something that lets you catch your breath.  For some of you, all it may take is that deep breath.

It is amazing what that will do for your day.  JUST BREATHE!
