Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. It's great the way you're finding more time.<br/><br/>Heidi - yoga is great isn't it. I don't do it near as often as I would like to. Hopefully I'll improve in that area too. Kez - I think we both have to just keep trying. :-) Hopefully we’ll eventually get there with it (or at least make some progress)

Doing it when drying yorself is a great idea!<br/>I usually find my mind is buzzing with so many things and I think focusing like this during everyday tasks might help me stress down a bit..... I hope, anyway ;-)<br/><br/>Heidi Great post Jodi - it is something I have reading a bit about lately but not properly applying, except when I am doing my yoga.

I recently did a meditation workshop where we did 5 minute meditations and the thing that I got most from the day was that focusing on the task you are doing is meditation. Only see when seeing, only listen when listening, only feel when feeling, you get the picture? So now I'm trying to do that in my everyday life and you know what it does make a difference, obviously not as relaxing as totally tuning out and focusing inward but much less stressful that have a head space that is half a day or more in front of reality. I'm noticing so much more and finding I actually have more time in my days.<br/><br/>Lenny Ahh yes this is something that I’m working on also.

I find it hard to 'switch' off from one thing to another - esp work - I'll pick Billy up from preschool and rather than focusing on that my mind is still thinking about work issues. I'm trying - but not succeeding much :( I struggle with the same thing a lot Jodi.
