		<description>Hi Neasie,

I was just thinking of you guys yesterday. Being more on the sensitive side I can get easily overwhelmed so it is a constant upkeep keeping the stress at bay. I do a daily quiet time or I feel off balance. I exercise a few times a week in the morning. And a few times in the afternoon with the kids - biking, swimming, tennis, hiking. That&#039;s a great stress reliever.  When I am feeling to stressed and rushed, I check my projects to see which can be done at a later time. Sometimes none can and that&#039;s when I enlist help from my family or a friend. There are always going to be busy times in our lives, so I try to breathe through them. Watch my thoughts like, &quot;I&#039;ll never get this all done.&quot; I concentrate on whatever task I&#039;m on. Otherwise it feels like too much. I also try to add some fun to things like music, doing it with a friend, challenging my kids, giving myself a reward like 15 minutes of reading time. I also try to add at least 20% of the time I think it will take. If I think it will take till July 19, I might say I can have it done by July 21. Mainly because I am bad at estimating time and it usually takes longer than I think it will. I want to get back with you all soon.</description>
