Gah!! Got stuck in a major traffic jam -took me
over an hour to get to work, 'Parked and Ran 1/2 block to the building-ran up 2 flights of stairs-get into office to find the BOSS isn't there yet!!!!!!! :p (You know if I don't get
there in time he will fire me) got a warning.
But some mornings no matter how early I leave I always get stuck in traffic!!
I've been good-haven't been late in over a year.

I'm still coming down from this 'adrenaline rush'- Doing my deep breathing and am going to do my Relaxation cd during lunch/or when I can sneak it in today.

Gotta hate traffic, Deb!

Just think of it this way - you got your exercise in for sure today!!!

Good idea to use the relaxation tapes to cool down too. I don't have much traffic here (it's rural - my idea of a bad traffic back-up is when I get behind a John Deere combine!!! LOL), but my sister lives near DC and it is a nightmare there! She about has to leave for her job 20 miles away an hour ahead of time!!! I feel for you!

Hang in there!

Blessings,
Dawn

Hi DebDeb.

You're doing the best you can. Give yourself credit for that. You've done good. Keep relaxing yourself with the breathing. But also walk around a little, it'll help use up a lot of that adrenaline, just like exercize does.

Good idea DeeDee; I am going to take a few breaks to walk around & I'll take a nice stroll during
lunchtime.

Dawn, I am trying to calm down now -behind that
wheel I was all tensed up-and wasn't breathing
calmly-but I have enough skills now to recognize
it and stop it from 'joining me thru the day'
I will have a good day despite this!!
