I never thought I'd say this, but cleaning and acupuncture! LOL I find the cleaner my house is, the happier I am in it and the easier I can relax (although I never find time to relax anyways). WIth this is cage cleaning -- it's a non-stop job, and so is the poop. FOr some reason, though, it calms me. Give me time to think without going to deep, because once I start thinking too deeply I start thinking in circles and that's when I have difficulty sleeping.

The acupuncture helps balance almost everything -- my mood, my emotions, my physical pain, plus it gives me about an hour of absolute relaxation, which I'm finding is helping tremendously since I don't give that time to myself at home. There's just too much to do for me to be able to sit still for that long.

I think many people are so busy taking care of other people, problems and other aspects of life that they don't think they are a priority. I had that problem for a long time. Now I make sure I take time out for a foot soak, a bubble bath, acupuncture... I've never had problems with keeping clean, but put everything else on the backburner.

Which reminds me. I really need to find a doc to order an MRI for my knee...... and so the circle continues!!!
