So when you choose to add more things in life to do, it seems oxymoronic in order to create balance. When you're trying to balance a heavy load, just to through another weight on top, it would just make things more DIFFICULT, right?

I disagree. I go to work all day, using my analytical brain consistently. I come home and use my mothering brain all afternoon. At night I use my technical brain working on my website and WA. Where's the RELIEF?

So I joined up with an old winter guard I participated in over 8 years ago so my creative/artistic brain can give everything else a rest. Yes, I HAVE to spend every Monday night at practice, and every Saturday for the next few months at performances when I could use that time working on my site still.

But I choose to spin my flag and toss my saber and dance BECAUSE if I don't, my brain and efforts will fry. I'll get burnt out and fear all my previous efforts will lag in the long run.

Why my story? Make sure you take a BREAK from working. Allow yourself to keep doing that hobby you enjoy, or being active in a group just for fun; bowling, photography, whatever! Your inner self will thank you; and you WON'T regret having made the fun memories alongside becoming successful.

What things are you doing to stay sane? Keep it in your life.

(PS - I have a Bachelor's in Biological Engineering. But I kept doing Marching Band and got a minor in Art History JUST so I could have a break from all the science! ;) )
