Do you feel tired when you get home from work? Do you have something you do when you get home to get some energy to get things done? I work in an office all day and am usually pretty tired when I get home, just from sitting inside for most of the day in front of a computer with little exercise. I am about to have a barley grass juice which will give me lots of energy, then I will make some crackers.

hi vegegirl, i also working mostly in the office and doing computer work (just sometimes i need to go out for some duties). i feel tired and lack of energy when i get home, but i can't wait to directly turn my pc on and being on mylot . well, i won't on the internet for long time. being on mylot after working is not so comfortable for me. my brain won't work properly and i cannot post nice posts. i will be there only less than one hour. then i will take a bath, do yoga for 1 hour, have dinner (after cooking my own meal ). after doing all of those, usually i will feel better and full of energy to be here

oh no, don't be misunderstood. i am not that great i meant my being on mylot less than one hours is just after coming home from work. after i do my evening routine, i will be on mylot again for hours by the way, is the barley grass and wheat grass are the same? i've ever taken a wheat grass. and yes, it was energizing. the taste was a little bit strange but it's good for our health.

that sounds great. I better get off mylot for a short while too and have that barley grass juice, get energised, do my chores and maybe come back too. I think mylot may get a little addictive!

Wow sutanhartanto, I just realised that you say you only spend an hour on mylot! I dont know how you manage to have such a high rating with only an hour a day! I seem to spend much more than that, and know i have to cut down.

yes, I get into the computer trap, one reason is I play my music from my computer while I am doing chores, as it motivates me. I have to be careful though because tonight I did a couple of chores, then sat at the computer and suddently it was 9:00 and I still had lots of other things to do. So I try not to get onto the computer until later as a rule, but it doesn't always happen that way!

Thanks Ichiat It's funny how, even working in a shop, which isn't as strenuous as a manual labour job can tire us out so much. I think the problem is we are under artificial lighting all day and not getting enough activity. It's probably good therapy when you go to watch the movies with your friends.

Hi vegegirl Once I'm back from work, obviously like you I also feel tired. Back at home, after cleaning, I just relax for 10-15 mins. You can call it meditation. It helps me to gain energy both physically and mentally. Also it allows me to face tring situations at home in a peaceful way.

Yes, I like to have that little bit of relaxation before I get home, but I have to be careful that I don't relax too long and don't get anything done.

Usually after work, I need at least a half hour of just time to relax. Then I go to sleep (I usually don't get off until 10:30-11:00 PM). I try not to eat that late, but on rare occasion I do. Eating at night is bad.

You are very strong willed, not eating after work, even if it is bad. I understand you needing to relax before being able to sleep as I have worked shift work or studied after work before and your mind is always racing when it needs to settle down.

I used to take lots of water in office itself so I never felt tired because of dehydration atleast. But the stress kills half of the energy when we are in office. So to kill that I used to chant one mantra always in my mind -(means I pray in silence of my mind to give me the force and power to resist all the evil that comes to my mind ). Thus I get away with all the tiredness of the day .

The first thing I do after returning from my all day long office time is playing with my three years old son. I have to admit that I'm too tired every day, but all of this tired are nothing when I see the happiness in his face. I will play with him until 6.30 pm usually, than we are prepare to go to mosque... I want to rest at night, but now addict to MyLot, so when is a suitable time for me to rest? I don't know...

Hi nizhama2 That sounds very sweet - I know it can be fun playing with children and their happiness can be very uplifting - I know that from when I am with my nephews sometimes. sorry I took so long to reply, I have been trying not to use my lot as much!
