I am sure you have heard this mantra again and again, but it is one of the most important steps you can take to connect/reconnect with yourself. Search “Simplify your life”, on the web and choose the list that speaks to you. Personally, I like to keep this list to a minimum, so one of my favorites is from an article in Forbes entitled Five Ways to Simplify Your Life:

1. Prioritize
2. Say ‘no”
3. Dive in
4. Unplug
5. Nourish your soul

There are so many strategies that fit under each of these five “well healthy ways”.  I said “no” to excessive holiday decorations a number of years ago and now I focus on family, friends and great food!
