It takes...Wow, it is so hard to separate our lives. It takes a conscience effort to shut off work and personal issues and not let them take over or effect you and your loved ones. It's wonderful that you were able to recognize the problem and make the switch. Our mates can really help when we take the time and really listen to them. Especially if we've been together for some time. They know us very well and are able to pinpoint exactly what's going on. Yeah, they've got our number. lol. And I like you Amy love to use Peppermint. It is so soothing for me at least. I am one of the rare people that are allergic to Lavender. So Peppermint is my go to essential oil. So glad you have the tools to decompress. Peace be with you my friend. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14259709127419990451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5436218649637169124.post-59626510791849266272015-02-02T13:30:58.630-08:002015-02-02T13:30:58.630-08:00Thanks Kassandra!

If something was bothering me in my personal life, I had to put it aside to focus on my clients' issues. I had an imaginary shelf above my head where I stashed personal issues during the work day. It was above my head so that if I tried to deny those personal problems at the end of the day, they would roll off the shelf and bop me on the head. <br /><br />At the end of the day, I had a ritual. I would very intentionally think about all those client issues that were IN my office. Then I would firmly and literally close the office door on them.<br /><br />So glad to see you are being mindful about taking care of yourself, as well as your family and friends.Kassandra Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12868883056262771642noreply@blogger.com
