I have so many things happening at once that I forget its ok to switch off and find an outlet that has nothing to do with any kind of testing or training. Everyday is so scheduled and regimented that if I get a free moment it is spent cleaning or doing things for others. If I do something for my own entertainment, I feel guilty. But luckily I have found something that is mindless and doesn't require much on my part to accomplish. I even chose to play it over doing my homework and I haven't chosen fun over responsibility in years.
For those who know me and my over organized personality well, this was a difficult thing to let go of and just have fun. My mom gave me my Sega Genesis back a couple of years ago, which is still in pristine shape, but I haven't had the time to play it until recently. I am now obsessed with the games once again, but mostly because I am getting to relive some of my best childhood memories. My kids didn't believe that I could be a gamer, but I showed them. They have a new found respect their old mom.
P.S. For the kids who don't know what a Sega is, ask your parents or Google it, with your parents permission of course;)
