Me again You're breathing comment reminded me that another thing us type A personalities can do to slow down is to meditate. Try it! You don't even have to believe in it and it will help. Mindfulness meditation also helps to train the brain for concentration which is an added bonus!

I was having a lot of anxiety and depression around the 4 and 5 month mark and meditating has helped create more calm space before the anxiety or depressed thoughts can take hold.

I am (slowly) reading Jon Kabat-Zinn's book FullCatastrophe Living. He also has guided Cds if you would prefer to go that route. I'm sure there are other good ones out there too this is just the one my neuro psych recommend s.

If you are really interested.... he does weekend and weeklong retreats where you don't talk the whole time you're there! We'd all probably come out healed after a week of silence, healthy food, no stress and meditating!

Ok that's it for me....
