We all lead crazily busy lives. Once you have children and
particularly babies and toddlers, you wonder what you used to do with all the
spare time you had before, right? So when you do get a little downtime, you’re
so exhausted that you hardly know what to do with it. Then the guilt factor
creeps in. After all, you’ve suddenly got a spare hour while one of your
children is at nursery and the other is asleep, perhaps, so you feel you really
“ought” to be doing something useful with this time.
Does this feel like you? If so, this is dangerous territory
in my opinion. There’s an old saying that runs along the lines of “if you want
something doing – ask a busy person”. In other words, the people who are really
busy in life are the types of people who get things done and find quick
solutions – and the saying could have been written specifically for busy Mums
who are on the go virtually every waking hour.
The downside to this is that we can’t relax when we have the opportunity
to do so as we feel so “wired” all the time.
One solution I’ve found to this problem is to play a few
games on my mobile. It’s kind of enforced relaxation; my mind is spinning and
feels like it needs to be occupied, but I’m simultaneously aware of the
psychological need to try and switch off and not get into the crazily busy
“spiral” all the time.
There are endless options to go for depending on whatever
does it for you. Personally, I enjoy playing casino games – but only games of
pure chance where I have a decent chance of winning (or not losing too much
anyway!) such as roulette – as opposed to poker or blackjack etc., where I’d
have to think! The best online casinos all let you play for free if you want to
but I like to play for very small stakes to help make it real. There are scores
of good online casinos to go for but I went for bgo due to the generosity of
the welcome bonus which effectively means I’m playing for free. Also, the games
are great fun and the site has just launched its new mobile site which has to
be seen to be believed.
So if you’re as wired as I am and you get that miraculous
spare hour – why not come and battle the odds at bgo's online casino with
me? It’s great fun and surprisingly absorbing – and it gets exciting
when I get ahead even with my tiny stake money, though of course the opposite also happens. But as
long as you’re playing with amounts of money that don’t really matter, I don’t
see the harm in it and it does kind of “make” me completely zone out for a
while – which is its main benefit of course.
