Thanks for sharing your stress coping strategies!

Thanks RyuLion for the relaxation video.

In 96 when I got into this business and in the following years I thought happiness and satisfaction was making more money, buying more things, going to more 5 star hotels and big parties conventions etc.

I built tgp galleries & reviewed them for sites like Adult Buffet and others. I built my own TGPs and top list sites (things long gone and forgotten now no doubt), and worked so many hours my health deteriorated and I spent basically no time with my family anymore.

My dad called me one night saying he just wanted to talk and see how I was. I was working on my sites and said I was busy. I remember that because shortly after that time my dad suddenly died of a heart attack. And I'd give every penny I made in this business for another chance to talk with him, see him, fish with him, or hug him.

Now I'm much much older and doing other things but I have learned to be mindful of how precious life is and what really matters. It's family, it's friends, it's peace of mind and meaningful work.

Now I enjoy writing courses and books about living a happier more peaceful life and sharing what I have learned with others. I skype with my 90 year old mother daily to tell her how much I appreciate and love her. I try to live a more balanced life.

So in this time of fear and sickness, while the economy is in turmoil and we are all forced to take a break, I hope that many of us can take a step back and remember what's really important to us. Hope you and your loved ones all stay well. And your business and life is healthy and prosperous.
