How Do You Take Your Mind Off IM?

Anybody who has been doing internet marketing for a while knows how time consuming it can get... and the tendency to obsess over it. Constantly being bombarded by emails, constantly discovering that there is something else you need to learn to make what you're doing work... and so on and on and on.

I was starting to get IMsomnia... couldn't stop thinking about what I needed to do online, etc. I would think while eating, while watching Hawaii 5-0 and while my girlfriend was droning on about what color to paint her nails, etc.

I tried exercising... but i thought about it while running. I tried the gym but found myself thinking between sets. Finally I realized that I needed to engage my mind and body at the same time.

So, I joined Kali Majapahit - A form of martial arts involving sticks, knives and empty hands.
It was the best decision I ever made. You can't think about the latest Wordpress plugin or SEO software if someone is attacking you with a stick. For an hour or two daily, my mind gets a break... and it's the best thing ever.

Music is the space between the notes.

So, what do you do for a mental break?

P.S - To the obsessed IMer, that's just a video. Kali Majapahit has no affiliate program
