Does the day ever become too busy or chaotic you just want to hide in the closet? Has your brain hit overload with work or people or whatever is occurring in life? After a long period of painting or working on the computer with pictures or blogging, too many chores or whatever, I get antsy, distracted or develop these huge brain freezes hampering any further productivity. It makes me want to scream and go hide. Rather than causing a ruckus in the neighborhood with my clamoring, a different approach was necessary. Not to mention I would scare the fur right off Little Dog. This is when my joy of jigsaw puzzles saved me with a relaxing diversion. I call it Jigsaw Puzzle Therapy, original name right, LOL.
The table in the breakfast nook is dedicated to this event. Unfortunately, it occurs on a regular basis so am prepared. Puzzles of at least 1,000 pieces and puzzles without square borders (round or taking the shape of the image, i.e. teddy bear) are my favorite. When life catches up with me and I need a total change for my eyes, body and mind, I go into the breakfast nook with a cup of herb tea and plant myself there till I feel better. Perhaps 15 minutes does the trick or maybe an hour or more. Regardless all is quiet and serene in the neighborhood, with Little Dog, and inside my mind and body. Jackpot!
What do you do to work out the kinks in life?
