I agree with the above posters. You have to *try* to leave it at work; but sometimes that's easier said than done. Sometimes you just have to hug the family a little tighter, play with the animals a little longer, or do something "creative" with your time - write in a journal, draw, pain, design graphics...

Good luck!

I leave my job at the time clock! When I punch out for the day, the only thing that I have on my mind, is going home to my husband, and 2 beautiful children...... On a real stressful day, I'll go out and inline skate, or play outside with the kids.

My husband and I have a little ritual we do when I get home from work. He asks me how work went and I tell him that it's over now. Somehow that helps me leave it at work. Vacations are a very good thing also. Sometimes just a three days off in a row to be at home or to go roaming around somewhere new can really recharge you.

That's a nice ritual. Now I just need to get myself a husband so I can practice it.
