Do you ever feel rushed? Ever feel as if you are doing a balancing act? If you are like me the answer to both questions is YES! Here are 9 steps to help simplify your life.

9 Steps to Simplify Your Life

1. Take a walk after your evening meal to clear your mind and aid digestion.
2. Post chores on a bulletin board in a central location.
3. Increase precious personal time. Say “no” more often, even to family and friends.
4. Free yourself from perfectionism. In most cases, good enough really is.
5. Use checklists to simplify shopping, traveling and entertaining.
6. Get out of debt. Be happy with less of what you’re told you need. Enjoy what you have.
7. Keep a list of fun activities and be sure you do at least one of them each month.
8. Get enough sleep and exercise.
9. Remember you don’t have to answer the phone just because it rings.
