A great indicator to test if you are relaxed, disconnected and carefree on your holidays is whether you stop checking for emails on your computer – internet cafe or switched the mobile phone off.
It is generally accepted that it takes 2 weeks to start switching off from the usual pace of life and start relaxing.

For some people, they have forgotten to learn how to relax or are torn between the guilt of not being in touch with work while trying to balance spending time relaxing with the family, friends or their partner.
Now a days with super gadgets that can do it all, being an MP3 player, alarm clock, camera, video recorder, diary, video entertainment, web browser and hand held gaming device, it’s hard to leave home without the mobile or alternatively, leave it switched off.

So you bring the mobile with you on the holidays BUT can you resist the irresistible temptation to check your emails just in case.

So we need start the relaxation process by disconnecting from the world. Solitude is good for the soul. Give your family your 100% attention without the technological distractions being present.

So at the end of your holidays, have you disconnected, use this as the indicator after your holidays to see whether you are relaxed and carefree.

With our society getting faster & faster, one state in Australia goes against the trend by having no Sunday trading, Western Australia.
While some may view this as crazy, I find it is a great way to do nothing, wind down, spend quality time with friends & family, re charge the batteries while not engaging in typical weekend behavior of rushing around buying this, going there, driving here, driving there.

While there are some exemptions based on satisfying certain criteria, most business have to reframe from opening on a Sunday.
The great thing is like retailers in the seventies before weekend weekend trading, people managed by shopping on Thursday/Friday nights or Saturday mornings before 12.00pm, everybody coped fine.

It’s only now in 2009 that longing working hours and additional weekend activities chrunch our time to the point the only option is Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

Maybe our buyer behavior has change, maybe we are now consuming more stuff or maybe shopping has become a social activity or we are making more frequent trips/smaller purchases from the supermarkets.

What ever has happened try this at home this weekend, buy all your food and other supplies and relax at home, switch off the internet, mobile phone, turn the land line ringing dial down and chill out.
You may be surprised how you feel Monday morning:)))

Positive thoughts create great outcomes while negative thoughts will bring about undesirable outcomes, think about nice things happening.
How often do you have negative thoughts during the day, that you’re having a crappy day, everything is going wrong, chances are you are manifesting your situation and creating your crappy day.

You miss the morning alarm, sleep in, rushing to the train you bump into a person with a takeaway coffee, now there is coffee on your clean shirt, you miss the train caused by this distraction, you arrive late & crumpy, you are intolerant of everyone, so everyone is grumpy back, your body language, energy, tone of voice is expressing your mode, suddenly a client contacts you who is abusive or dissatisfied, what you are thinking, Sound familiar??
Like the laws of attraction, you are drawing exactly what you are focusing on, in this case that everything is going wrong, bad things are happening.

So before you go to bed, picture how the next day will pan out, what positives things will happen, maybe even write it down & keep the note next to the bed side table.
Maintain positive thoughts for great outcomes and leave those negative thoughts that bring undesirable outcomes.
