How do you find your Zen place?

BB&B had Creative Haven Coloring books for clearance at 2 bucks. The Tessellation Patterns was a fave. Good quality paper.

Walking helps....and use my Fitbit to do the deep breathing exercises.

I take melatonin to sleep.

When all else fails, I take medication!

I know I am old fashioned but for me, I almost always deal by cleaning.  I just take out my frustrations on the mop and scrub brush.  The house looks great at the end

One night last year, I was very upset and ended up playing Candy Crush for about eight hours. 

For the most part, when I have a problem I figure out the worst that can possibly happen, plan how to survive that and then what really happens feels minor.  It keeps me from getting too upset.  I also think about how much it will matter 100 years from now.

I wished you lived closer. My house could lead you to total zen. 

I wish I lived closer to you.  We would make great neighbors 

Let's start her a waiting list! For HER zen health, of course:)

I like to think of myself as a giver. I just give and give. 

That's what my daughter does.  When she was a teenager I always knew when something was bothering her because she would start rearranging and frantically cleaning.  When her room was spotless I would come in and we would "talk".

I'm still searching for my Zen Place.  I lost it about a year ago, and haven't been able to find it again!!

I cross stitch, write, read, color... Back in the day when I did outbound calls for AT&T I had a ton of the Dover coloring books and a giant box of colored pencils and I'd just go to town. Later on at the same job, I picked up cross stitching and continued when I worked tech support for AOL. People always said I sounded so calm as I walked them through solving whatever problem they'd called with.  

Here's one of my recent completions. I made this for a coworker *****tired.
