Default leaving poker at the table

I've been playing poker full time since the begining of the year. I'm also having a relatively successful year and have a good understand of statistics, varience, luck and the swings that will occur. However, I find that i'm having a hard time leaving my poker thoughts at the table and i'm finding that poker is consuming a large part of my mental energy away from the table. I work out fairly often (3-4 days a week) and have a pretty good social life. I would also like responses that dont' tell me to take time off.
I do play 4-6 hours a day every day. I am looking for strategies on how to clear my mind and help me lead a normal life away from the table instead of fixating on poker thoughts when i'm at the gym or dinner with my girlfriend or trying to fall asleep.

thanks
