National Simplify Your Life Week

 This year I am posting about the fun National Weeks throughout the year.  This week is National Simplify Your Life Week.  

This week is set aside for us to, well, do just that...  Simplify our life.  A week to declutter/dejunk our lives, eliminate all the clutter, static and anything that causes us stress or anxiety.  The focus is not only external clutter, but internal clutter.  It's time to take a close look at our lives and remove the things that keep us from enjoying life.

There are many ways we can simplify our lives.

Schedule:  Keep a calendar/planner with all of your (kids & hubby's) activities and appointments.  

Meal Plan:  Making a menu plan for the week helps with grocery shopping and knowing what you are making for lunch/dinner.  Eliminates the need to make extra trips to the grocery store.

Declutter:  It helps when you get rid of excess stuff hanging around the house.  Only have what makes you truly happy.  Clearing out your living space is great for clearing your mind.

Eliminate people in your life that cause you stress.  This can be difficult, but by eliminating toxic people, you can add years onto your life.

Take a break from social media.  Check your phone once or twice per day (especially on those days you are not working, or you are with the important people in your life).  This helps you stay focused and present with what is most important in your life.

This is a great time to think about what you allow into your life.

You can participate on social media using #SimplifyYourLife
