Hello Guys 'n Dolls,

How are you doing today?

Just checking in to say hello.

Have you ever just...shut off your computer and then reconnected with the 'real' world after shutting up yourself in the 'virtual reality' of your business?

Well, I did this past week and I am happy I did.

Now, it's back to the grind, but I will do things differently. Less 'long hauls' and more frequent 'life interactions'.

How do you handle it?

Namaste

Michelle

Michelle,

I agree, it is definitely good to unplug once in awhile and refresh! A little R & R never hurt anyone.

Lisa

So true, Lisa. So true.
When was the last time you unplugged?
M

It has been awhile since I have completely unplugged. But, Friday and Saturday was very limited online time. My hubby will be on vacation soon, so I will take a few days then.

Lisa

I hear you, L. We need balance and we know we do, however, sometimes we allow 'life' to take over. Good luck. Have a great week.
M

Never loose sight of the human touch. Balance is key.

Absolutely, we need to keep that in check!

Thanks for sharing, Michelle. I seem to have “long hauls” here and long periods away. After the latter, I sometimes find it difficult to get back, by a day or two, even if I can do it sooner Then once I sit at my computer...! I need not say more because I enjoy being here.

I need to find a balance; I need to find a method to handle the two.

Awesomeness!
Mojalefa.

Hey there, M...I understand oh too well...I think we can all identify with the theme of balance...we will always be in a constant state of -WIP- work in progress.
Much success.
M

I look forward to taking off some time to relax away from the computer. But a lot on my table right now ;)

Yes, I understand and I have been there, but remember, the ones you work so hard for, are still there while you work.
M

That's true ;)

So important to love our loved ones ! Indeed .
Great post ! Thank you

Thnx, Elaine and a BIG resounding 'YES' to including loved ones in your day-to-day experiences.
M

Weekends are my time to reflect on life outside my computer and spending time with loved ones. I also like to take an hour or two each day during the week to go to the gym and work out. Doing this releases the energy bottled up from sitting! Nice post!

Erin :)!

Yes, Erin. You are so right. I need to seriously factor in some 'people time' in my 'work day'. It is so easy to get 'caught up and drawn in' once you sit at this computer.
Have a great week.
M

Hi Michelle- It can be very addictive and you must have life balance in order to remain fresh.
Plan your work and work your plan and fit everything else in between
Stay fresh so you can focus
Good luck
Vicki

So beautifully said, Vicki. You most definitely have to 'have a plan', stick to it, and test-drive it to see if it works as you intend it to!
M

I must say I do the same thing, thanks for the share.

Yes, R. We have to think about 'balance' and those we so arduously want to make things easier for as we 'toil away'!
M

You have brought up a good topic, Michelle.
Since joining just over a month ago, I have become a snob in my own house lol
Training, articles to write, emails to check etc
I am absolutely loving it. The excitement and accomplishing new things. Its great!
However, I know I need to find balance because lots of other things need my attention, like yesterday hehe
I will work it out eventually and if not I'm sure it will come up again to remind me :)
Thanks for the reminder.

Di :)

Yes, indeed, Di. It is so easy to 'displace'ourselves and those around us.
Much success.
M

How bout alternative reality Michelle!

LOL...what on 'earth' is that one, Mike?

Take a pick any universe. Do up your hair Mowhawk style!

LOL...nice idea, scratch the Mohawk hairstyle though, it might not look so good on my face!
LOL
