How do you decompress?

   I do wish I could find more than an hour or two to get some writing in.  It seems that any longer than that and The Curmudgeon develops a problem he needs me to attend to immediately.

     After The Curmudgeon goes to bed, my brain is fried with the stress of the day and concentration is difficult to come by.  Therefore, I try to settle my brain down by reading.  Again, concentration is difficult but I am getting better at it.

     I’ve had days where writing is impossible.  I hate those days.  Usually, those days are ‘a bad day for the curmudgeon’ topped with two dogs starving for attention.  If he’s down, I have to do it all with no break for a breath all day.

     I do believe I need to find some way, some time to decompress, relax, get my head on straight so I can work on my books.  Even if it just going to lunch with friends, it still is a form of decompression.

     I am working on doing yoga and meditation again, if I can find a minute to myself, that is.

     Today I went out to lunch with friends, it felt so good!

     You all have a good one!

The chamber was used to treat decompression sickness in Japanese pearl divers who were, generally, of small build. The chamber is now located indoors in the Broome Historical Society Museum.
