Americans are known to over schedule, over spend, over commit and strive to overachieve. This leads us to being over stressed and overwhelmed. This month, we are taking a step back to focus on simplifying our lives, which has physical, psychological and financial benefits.
More isn't always better. Sometimes it's just more. Many times, we don’t need more – clutter in our homes, on our phones, and on our calendars. It leads to stress and a feeling of being overwhelmed on a regular basis.
Simplifying isn’t about removing enjoyment, it’s about making room for things that bring peace and joy to your life. When you declutter your surroundings, you have more space to enjoy the things you treasure most. When you start saying no to commitments that aren’t critical, you have more time for spontaneity, for loved ones, and for yourself. When you cut back on non-essential spending, you have more savings. Simplifying relieves stress so you have more calm and ease in your life.
If you’d like assistance simplifying your life, One Source EAP can offer help with 24/7/365 access at 800-300-0628.
