Simplify

Do you ever feel that you're running through life; going from one thing to next? Many of us feel that we're going through the motions, out of touch and more stressed than ever! This week, initiate your own Joy Challenge to overhaul and simplify your life. Here are some ideas to get you started:

*Get up 5 minutes earlier and look at the sky

*Smile at people throughout the day

*Say hello to 1 person each day

*Have a cup of tea when you get home

*Ask how someone's day was and listen without doing anything else

*Before getting frustrated, ask yourself if this issue is a small or big deal?

*Take a walk

*Take 2 minutes to sit in silence

*Sit with your feelings without judgement

*Challenge your thoughts: Ask yourself if they're helping you?

*Say or write 1 thing you're grateful for each day
