I have found that one of the most effective ways for me to achieve some balance in my work and life is simply to put it in my calendar. For example, early last week I decided that Friday morning would be time for 'me', so I put it in the calendar and used it the way I wanted - reading a new book!
My lovely bride and I also work very hard to *not* work on Sundays, rather that day is for us to spend together.
I am always amazed to find that balance changes with the seasons, with my health, with outside things in life I can't predict. Balance isn't a stringent schedule or about discipline, it is about going with the flow and not pushing but finding strength and balance in my rootedness.
Thanks for posting this and your previous post. It comes at a time when I am trying to wean myself off a painkiller which, I have come to the conclusion, has ceased doing anything to alleviate pain. It is one of those drugs which has withdrawal problems, but fortunately I never took much because this (& other painkillers) dope me up, make me dizzy or dopey. I have, to a certain extent, trained myself to think above the pain, and I choose to have some pain and still be able to think and create at least at some level, than being only cognitive enough to sit in front of the tv all day. You sound like you've found a good doctor who is willing to take the time to work with you on this. Unfortunately, in my experience, this is rare--one of the lesser spoken-about problems with our health care system. OK. I will stop before I'm really off on a rant. Again, thank you. And I hope you continue to feel better.
I was mistaken - she had psoriasis, but reviewers on Amazon say it's healing their eczema as well. The "book" is very small, more like a pamphlet, but very straightforward.
I'm slowly easing into this diet to manage arthritic inflammation. I've even given up daily coffee, can you imagine that? (gods bless Teeccino, or it could have been ugly).

And may the gods of healing smile up on you as well.
