Really after some relaxation tips.
I really struggly to switch off, constantly on the go especially mentally and its becoming very draining.
please any ideas would be good.x

Hey honey
I know what you mean, I really struggle too but what I find helps is I keep a note pad near me and everytime I think of stuff I write it down, be it stuff I have to do or phone calls I need to make or trivial things like something I remember I need at shopping on the Saturday and it's only Tuesday!
The other thing is you need to find somethign that makes your brain think of nothing else. I either do a couple of sudoku or kriss kross once I'm sat down for the night and whilst some people say it stimulates the brain, I find that because it makes me think of nothing else but the puzzle, my brains forgets everything else.
Hope that helps sweetie.xxxx

Hi girls :)
I'm exactly the same - literally NEVER switch off but think that comes with being self employed and having so much to do at home & at work. I've just come to get used to it though and i now find it very hard to just chill and put my feet up!
I'm with Em though, i do have notepads all over the place and have to write things down then most nights i'll play my brain game on the DS just to try and "switch off" otherwise i wouldn't be able to sleep!!

Yeah I play my DS or Iphone games too. It really does help.
Or even doing something like painting your nails, anything that takes your mind off the day but make sure you write everything down first, you'll be surprised how much it helps.xxxx

Em - how do you manage to still paint your toe nails??
I've lost sight of mine!!!!

Seriously though QB yes, i do find writing things down helps and just general playing games. I've got a new addiction to my ipod touch and downloading games lol.
Emma - do you have that paper toss game?
xx

with difficulty!!! I haev to sit with my legs wide apart so bump falls inbetween - very ladylike ha ha!!!!
Nick said I have a waddle going on, lovely!
Yeah got paper toss, it's so addictive! Currently playing a game called chocolate shop frenzy. You have to make chocolate and serve it to people. STupid but I love it! xxxx

haha sorry images of em with her legs open haha. sorry.

I have to write everyhting down cause i forget stuff, ruby enjoys eating my lists lol.
But yeah will write more lists, i do struggle to concentrate on anything due to the adhd but i just have sooo much i n my head in bed i am planning the next day,meals, jobs etc and even after ihave written them down i keep going over so i dont forget,i may be going mad.xxx

Ah QB it's perfectly normal. I do it at home when I think of stuff I have to do at work. A pen and paper next to your bed is good as I used to wake up worrying about stuff so I write it down and it dfeinately helps. Try a puzzle book too if you like them, I get addicted! xxx

OMG sorry Em sweety, but that image is just lovely!!!! Mind you i don't look much better when i'm trying to shave ha ha!!!
Not got the chocolate one, will have to have a look.

Aww QB hun, i can imagine there's even more to think of when you've got a 1 year old and pregnant with another LO but we're all here if you feel like you need to let off steam xxx

Yeah thanks girls, nothing like support from my BE mates ha ha! It's ok, i'm normally fully clothed but still not attractive i'm sure! I was shaving my legs yesterday and the only way I could reach them was to turn to the side and hvae my leg right in the air. Nick said I looked like I was practicising synchorinised swimming! All I can say is thank god I started waxing, otherwise it will be like the bloody outback down there by now! Sorry way TMI!!!!

Ah well see, i wasn't actually talking about shaving my legs :lol:
