Do you get caught on the phone?

This morning I spent 45 minutes on the phone with a friend of mine. We had a great conversation. I love her. I love talking to her. I love spending time with her. But 45 minutes is a huge part of my day! I was counting on those 45 minutes to get important stuff done!!!

So what do you do when things beyond your control take up your time, leave you with less time than you want, and leave you stressed out because you still have so much to do and now you have even less time to do it in?

Reign your brain.

I think that's going to be the title of my next book, because I believe it really is the secret to life and the secret to eliminating stress.

Watch for a future article on some specific techniques for reigning your brain in different situations, but here's what I'm going to do right now: I'm going to write my daily gratitude. And I'm going to be focus on how grateful I am for her, for our friendship, etc.

Try it. You'll like it. :o)
