Possibly even more wierd - I find spending 20 minutes doing what I call the brain-drain really helps. Maybe because for those 20 minutes I'm actively listening to all those thoughts that felt like they fell asleep - I don't really know why, but I know it works for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4914062723207740797.post-72302617645879273132007-06-21T10:26:00.000-05:002007-06-21T10:26:00.000-05:00Why don't you call someone and go out for coffee? ...Why don't you call someone and go out for coffee?

Time-outs in your room ...You always were like that! Time-outs in your room by yourself were the worst possible punishments for you.<BR/>But you have been making some strides in learning to be peaceful with yourself -- Bentley has been helping you. Making a plan is a good idea -- need some help?<BR/>Go to the library, pick up a big bagful of good books. Listen to some good music and work on a puzzle... or knit? Go for a walk. Work on a scrap-booking project or some other such thing. Sit in the sun on your deck and do nothing. Believe me, someday you will long for a day like this! Love MOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
