Time Well Wasted, Sunday Edition - Spin Cycle

Still catching up on Jen's Spin Cycle with this little spin on "Relax" I am from that era of Frankie Says Relax shirts, but I read the lyrics and decided to go with a tame Brad Paisley song ;-)

I started thinking about this topic and wondered what ever happened to some of the great tricks we used so long ago. When the boys were about 18 months, I taught them some breathing techniques....it actually worked for a long time, but now they both refuse to do any relaxing breathing. I try to trick them into breathing while they count to 10, it works less than half the time. 4 has a lot of bonuses, but they are on roller coasters - calm and chill to completely spazzed in a nano-second. We're all working on it, and hoping for some success. All calming trick suggestions welcomed - TIA!

I'm heading back to the gym on a more regular basis to see what it will do for my own ability to chill :-)

Harry tends to be the King of Chill - we may have even seen him in this pose in the womb ;-) He's mastered kicking back, so I'm hoping he's able to balance work and play as well as his Dad!

This is the sweet scene I woke to this morning :wub:

Wishing you a calm, relaxed week
