<h3>FINDING TIME FOR R & R</h3>
 
The definition of \"rest and relaxation\" depends 
on you. Vacationing may be relaxing for you, or 
it could be stressful, depending on your likes 
and dislikes. Working in your garden could be 
invigorating or a waste of time. If you can\'t 
picture yourself stopping or slowing down at all, 
spend the first month scheduling time to make R & 
R happen and then take that time. 
 
Soon it will become a habit and you\'ll do it 
naturally. This is your rest and your relaxation, 
 but here are some suggestions: 
1.	Take 30 minutes a day just for you. Swing in 
a hammock, read a book or take a nap. Enjoy them! 
2.	Escape to Fantasy Island. Picture yourself 
being fanned and served by your favorite \"fantasy\" 
 person. (I know who I\'d choose!!) That should 
bring a smile. 
3.	Breathe deeply. It calms you down, allows you 
to refocus and lessens anxiety. 
4.	Make your surroundings comfortable. I always 
enjoy reading in bed or even figuring out my new 
ideas there. You do what works for you. 
5.	Tie your recreation to your goals. For 
fitness, take a walk. To learn a new language, 
carry a language CD. 
6.	Use travel time in your car for education. 
Use your errand or running time to learn 
something new or listen to music, humor or books 
on CD. 
7.	Do your changes gradually. Put yourself in 
circumstances that encourage rather than 
discourage. 
8.	Take mini-vacations. Stop looking for \" 
glumps\" of time. You\'ll see and do more and still 
have memories to talk about. 
9.	Have a grab bag of things to do. (I love this 
one!). Put slips of paper with a wish on them in 
a bag and draw one out each time you have time. 
10.	Keep your emotional bank account full. 
Remember, it takes five positive deposits to 
counteract one negative. 
11.	Be your own catalyst. Recharge and renew 
yourself so you\'re always raring to go. 
 
Just remember, there is not just one way to do 
something. You can travel many paths to reach 
your goal. What\'s most important is that it\'s 
your path and your goal. I\'ve learned there are 
many people who\'ve lived someone else\'s dream and 
not their own. We don\'t want your life to end 
with that dream still in you.
