The stress in our life is often brought on by our choices and reactions to people and situations. We can choose to not volunteer as much this year or choose to take on less responsibility at home and work. Our reactions to ¡§stressful¡¨ things in our life can be reduced if we decide to let less things bug us. Here are a couple more quick tips to simplify your life reduce the stress and create more harmony:
1. Buy less stuff we clutter up our home, closets and garages with things that seemed to be important. But often if asked a week or two ago about what you purchased you will likely not remember. Instead choose to spend your money on great experiences. For example, instead of buying another pair of jeans or another toy. Take that money and save it up for a special trip, the day at the zoo or a massage. The memories you create will outlast pretty much anything you buy.
2. Automate – If you¡¦re still paying bills by snail mail most everyone now can be set up with an automatic payment or paid online. This will free up your time and precious memory stores. ƒº
3. Clean out your closet or a room. Put aside several hours or more to do this. Throw away or donate anything you haven¡¦t worn in the past year. Find a permanent place for everything. Having even one organized place in your home can really help make your home feel like home. There¡¦s something about cleaning and having a tidy area that can free up your mind mentally and can be so relaxing.
