♫ Clean up, Clean up, everybody do your share ♪…..catchy little tune I use to sing to my children when it was time to clean their rooms. It is time to clean up our lives. Clear out that clutter. It is impossible to relax with all this clutter around so let’s do it together.

Slowing It Down
- Listen to your favorite classical music. Do only one thing at a time!
- Take your favorite book and soak in the tub.
- Drive slower.
- Remove your watch for a day-or a week
- Get out your favorite hobby and indulge for an entire evening.
- Turn off the TV and relax in your favorite chair.
- Turn off your cell phone and go for a leisurely walk through the neighborhood.
- Sleep in and don't feel guilty about it.
- The next time someone asks you for a favor or to do something for them, tell them you'll get back to them about it. Then really decide whether you want to use your time that way or not.
- Do only half of this.
