It really made a difference taking the time to do something more relaxing but it was funny how the BP thoughts would creep in and intrude on the moment. It is so ingrained now. Perhaps by making a more regular effort to do things, I can retrain and get away from it at times.

So a goal is to make a point of focusing on tasks so as to not think about it but more importantly to take mini-mental vacations daily of some kind.

Today: It is supposed to be lovely again. I'm going to be in the yard/garden, do some planting but afterward going to set up the hammock to relax, perhaps read a book or listen to music, or even take a nap for that matter.

I had forgotten about the hammock, UpDown Aorund, your mention of your chair reminded me of it. Thanks for that. Lots of terrific ideas all around, Thank y'all and hope y'all have lovely breaks of your own.
