Thanks very much for your reply. I am interested in your suggestion of doing h/s in the evening before you go to bed rather than in the morning. Do you have any reasons for suggesting this?

Your point re Television is, in my opinion, a valid one. I do not have a television and have not had one for 12 years! It is my choice, but TV generally bores me and as you say when I had a television I felt I was getting locked in to a routine that was nothing more than a waste of my time in my opinion.

So basically on arriving home I usually relax a bit, have something to eat etc and then about an hour or so later I do a session with h/s. When I use h/s there is no noise whatsoever in the house, no radio, no TV, no kids…. its great! My only difficulty is this feeling of being a little rushed in the sense that I only have a certain amount of time to accomplish all the things I want. I like to come home and take my time cooking/eating, I like to fit in a h/s session as well but I also like to have time later on just to relax with a book etc. But then my early start in the morning means a relatively early night too. I guess I might just have to have a good look at my routine and also try to be aware of that feeling of being rushed and see whether I can lessen its affect on me.
