Think Happy!

I should probably be putting this in the aggregator, but it is so good I wanted to share it with all of you: How to Transition from Work to Play

I particularly appreciated this point:

Unwind the Mind. This can be done before you leave work or first thing when you arrive home. Take 5-15 minutes to do a light meditation. Take some deep breaths where you hold and release on an approximate count ratio of 1:2:4 (In:Hold:Out). Then close your eyes while sitting upright. Focus on resting your eyes, slow even breathing and the intention of “Empty the Mind.” You can also use creative visualization such as imagining your work as a little box. Every thing is safe inside the box. Attach a parachute to it. Now imagine letting it go from the top of a sand dune down to the beach below. The parachute will open and the box will land softly in the sand, out of your reach. Tomorrow morning it will be there for you to open up and begin again.
