Have a Big Appetite for Life But Feeling too Full?

If you're feeling overscheduled or overstuffed in your life these days, simplify your "diet" and find something to which you can say no. Take one or two things off your "to do" list that contribute to feeling overstuffed but aren't necessarily nourishing you. Leave the abundance on your plate for someone else or for yourself at another "meal". Even if it means canceling plans, letting someone down, including yourself; consider the consequences of continuing to over feed. We guarantee you'll feel freer, lighter, and more well nourished, not less.

Another thing, since August is a common vacation month, if you haven't planned one because you're too busy, there's too much to do, you can't find the time, and it's "weighing" on you; create it. Take a break, even a short one and see how the world continues when you step away. This time will not only refresh and lighten you, but it will help you gain perspective to see how you might simplify things when you return so you're not so stuffed and weighed down.
