Some people use the term 'guilty pleasure', whereas I like to think of it as essential escapism - the need each day to immerse yourself in something light, easy and perhaps a little bit vacuous, to act as a mini well-being boost. Mine is watching 'Home and Away', the Australian soap about impossibly beautiful people, uncannily emotionally-literate teenagers, and tricky situations that always resolve themselves within a matter of hours. Just 22 minutes of escapism every day (oh yes, I never miss an episode!) is so helpful and lifts my spirits unendingly. It also acts as the essential 'bridge' between work-me and home-me. Ultimately, it's a bit of quiet time to watch sunny weather, blue skies and seas, and switch off. Then I feel back to normal and refreshed! So what about you? Do you have an essential escape? Something light and easy? (Have I set myself up for the inevitable wine/chocolate references from some of you now...?!) I'd love to hear from you.

Well, as you know, my escape was into Cabot Cove. Now I find that doing the 'thing' you've always wanted to, just for 30 minutes a day not only helps you escape but can help you achieve at the same time. Don't put off writing that children's book or finishing that patchwork quilt. Take time to enjoy it and it turns from a chore to a pleasure!
