Simple Living Tips For Stress Relief Live More Simply To Relieve Stress In Your Lifestyle
Being in the midst of a financial crisis, most of us are trying to learn to live with less. While simple living used to be a lifestyle people would pursue primarily as a means to stress relief and personal fulfillment, many people are finding that a simpler lifestyle is becoming an economic necessity. However, when simple living is not a choice, people can feel more deprived and stressed than fulfilled. (See these resources on locus of control and threat vs. challenge to better understand why.) If you find yourself taking on the practice of simple living due to financial need, and you want it to be as low-stress as possible, the following tips and resources can help you to adapt new habits that can yield positive results with less stress.
By Elizabeth Scott, M.S.,
Develop The Right Attitude
The first and most important step to living a simpler lifestyle and feeling fulfilled rather than deprived by having a ‘life of less’ is to change your attitude. Focusing on what you have, rather than what you’d like to have; on connecting with people instead of impressing people; on consuming less instead of acquiring more, can help you to shift your overall attitude toward the ‘stuff’ in your life. Likewise, even if you’re not going the route of simple living by choice, remind yourself that the end result of the practice of simple living can lead to greater personal fulfillment and less stress. This can help you feel rich in ways that have nothing to do with your bank account.
For more help in developing the right attitude, I suggest you read this article on developing an attitude of gratitude. It’s a good start in the right direction!
Pare Down
Believe it or not, one way to feel like you have more is to give away some of what you already have! If you have any clutter in your house, you can open up new energy by clearing it away; going through and getting rid of things you don’t use may also alert you to things you didn’t realize you had. If you clear away things you no longer need, you’ll be left with something even better—a home that’s a haven from stress, that just feels good to be in. Once you start enjoying the feeling of an uncluttered existence, and once you get used to that feeling, you can appreciate the gifts of surrounding yourself with less stuff. You can really appreciate simplicity in your life.
These articles on the toll of clutter and decluttering strategies can help you to better understand the role of clutter in your life, and change it.
Learn About Resources
There are many different ways to get what you need for less money—sometimes even free! Part of living a simpler lifestyle is knowing what’s available around you, and taking advantage of these resources. We all know about the library, of course, and coupons that you get in the paper, but did you know that you can often rent DVDs for free from the library, or use coupons in conjunction with sales and special offers to save huge percentages of your grocery bill? Becoming aware of all the well-known and lesser-known resources around you can help you get what you need, for less.By Elizabeth Scott, M.S.,

Ernest Borgnine dies at 95 he will be missed.
Ernest Borgnine, who delivered an Academy Award-winning performance as the lonely Bronx butcher looking for love in the 1955 drama "Marty" and displayed his comic side in the 1960s as the star of the popular TV sitcom "McHale's Navy," has died. He was 95.
Borgnine died Sunday of apparent kidney failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, his longtime publicist, Harry Flynn, told The Times. Borgnine went into the hospital "a couple of days ago" for a checkup, Flynn said.
Audiences first took notice of the stocky, gap-toothed Borgnine in the 1953 movie "From Here to Eternity," in which he played "Fatso" Judson, the sadistic stockade sergeant of the guard who viciously beats up Frank Sinatra's Pvt. Angelo Maggio in the adaptation of James Jones' acclaimed novel depicting Army life in Hawaii before theattack on Pearl Harbor.
