7. Eat Slowly Not only will you get to enjoy the food you are eating; there are also health benefits to taking your time. Your digestion will improve greatly and will probably result in eating less at one sitting, therefore losing any extra weight. 8. Make A Weekly Dinner Menu “What’s for dinner?”…those 3 words haunt us all each day. Although cereal is a good stand-by, we could all benefit from spending some time on the weekend and planning the week’s menu / grocery shopping all in one day. No longer having to run to the grocery store each day after work will open your time up substantially (and probably save some money). 9. Stop Worrying Nothing has ever been solved by sitting for hours worrying about what “might” happen. You cannot “what if” your life away. Acknowledge first if this is something you can truly resolve and have control over. If you have no control over it, don’t worry about it. 10. Want Less It is easy to get caught up in wanting bigger and better things. Until you truly appreciate the things you have now, the next big thing won’t put you at ease either. By appreciating what you already have and being thankful is the best advice to follow to simplifying your life. We would love to hear about who and what inspires you.
