The first week in August is national ‘Simplify Your Life Week.’ Sounds good, doesn’t it? It is a good time to step back and take stock of your life. Sometimes just clearing away household or office clutter can make a difference. On a more personal note, simplifying your life allows you to take the pressure off of yourself. You can do this by saying “No” more often to those time and resource draining tasks that have no lasting benefit. You can also relieve some pressure by delegating more; don’t take on the responsibility for “everything.” But most importantly, simplify by finding time to relax. So turn off the news, take long walks, commune with nature, slow down, and you may even find yourself laughing more.
