I know it's hard, but let theanswering machine pick up your calls. *Turn off your computer. This is tough too, but you musttake a break from business. *Rent a couple of travel videos of places you've wanted tosee. Don't watch the news or regular TV shows. *Rent a yoga, tai-chi, or meditation video. *Arrange for catering or take-out delivery. *Have plenty of fruits, healthy snacks and fresh drinksstocked. *Get a relative to take the kids (you can reciprocate later). *Take a long bubble bath and read this summer's hottest novel. *Arrange for a reputable massage therapist to make a house call. *Send yourself a gift basket. *Burn summer scented candles like Cantaloupe, Ocean Mist, Creamsicle, Hawaiian Paradise, Watermelon orLily of the Valley. We all need to get away for a short while and have time by ourselves or with a loved-one. Spending time relaxing can have an enormous effect on your well-being and reset your mind and body for increased productivity.
