Sometimes when I am on the computer for too long, and I will get up, go downstairs and walk around to clear my mind or just to take a bit of rest. When I go for walks like this, I don't usually have a purpose! I just walk here and there for around 15-20 minutes, then I get back up and work again. So what about you? Or what do you do to relax yourself when you think that you are on the computer for too long?

hi wondericequeen!

well i do not exactly remember to take a break unless i am sooo tired already. but well, i have to go to the bathroom from time to time, so i guess that is already my break. or sometimes, i get hungry and need to get food outside, so i would go out of my room and eat. then go back to work again.

my working hours are already pretty erratic at this time because of my pregnancy. so i rest when i need to and just go back. i think i rest more than i work. hehe

take care and God bless you!

happy mylotting!

When I'm home I take breaks from cleaning and household chores by coming on here and doing a few mylot discussions. I will put cloths on to wash and come back to mylot. Sweep and mop the floors and do a few more mylots . My time at mylot is my breaks . It's where I take a break from what I'm doing .

I sure do... did this today, as a matter of fact. During the winter, I use my treadmill but, since it was a bit more comfortable outside finally, I walked for a little over an hour. I love to grab my mp3 player and just walk to the music. It's probably the most relaxing thing I do for myself and I'll probably be doing it daily again, now that I can get outdoors. Generally, I walk about 6 days a week. I live walking distance from a river so it's very enjoyable to walk along the water. Very peaceful. Kind of "resets" my energy and stress level, you know?:)

Oh, you are right. We should have a rest for every 2 or 4 hours.

I like to go for frequent walks, but not while at the computer. Usually then I pop up to do bits of housework instead. I love being at the computer and really could if other circumstances allowed just live there, probably, so going away from it is not so much for a rest as because I have to do other things.

Hello,Queen!>>>>>>>>>>> I never go for a walk in the morning as I am a late riser.Instead I do some garden works in the morning and go for walking in the evening.Gardening is also a good exercise unlike brisk walking.thanx.

I take a walk as well to break up the routine. However, I will also just watch a little TV or do a chore or two that I have been letting go. This kind of takes my mind of the computer and what I have been doing and I can come back relaxed and fresh.

hello wondericequeen

sometimes when that i am on the computer for too long of a period of time like that, i will pass out in my computer chair. lol lol no, i have never done that before. but yeah, lol, i will get up and find something else to do for awhile, whatever that i need to get done around the house, cook or whatever. if i feel like laying down for awhile, i will either go lay across the couch or go lay across my bed for awhile to relax. sometimes i will go for a walk, and sometimes i will do something like bath the dog. lol but i really never think that i spend too much time being logged onto the internet each day. i enjoy all of the time that i get to spend online everyday. don't spend too much of your time online!

take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

Good day.. Yes., A little walk everyday is good and relaxing. We don't necessarily have to go somewhere just to walk but we can take a walk in our neighborhood and enjoy the day. I mean it's healthy and really will do good. I also take a walk everyday just to soothe my mind.
