"Here are 10 ways you might choose to "Live Light" in 2013:
1.
Start by doing a mental scan. What worries you? What isn't worth
worrying about because you can't affect the outcome? Throw it away.
2.
Do you have a grudge or resentment against someone? Holding that belief
creates more stress for you. Forgive that person, let it go, and you
will see how much lighter you will feel.
3.
There are givers and takers in life. Surround yourself with the givers
and friends who give you energy; shed the others and lighten up your
load.
4.
Lighten up your wardrobe - anything that is too tight, too small, or
something you simply haven't worn in two years, give to charity or to a
friend who will delight in having something new.
5.
Now that you have lightened up your closet, try "packing light" for
your next trip. Take just a carry-on bag and you'll find you really
didn't need all that extra "stuff" and there are fewer decisions to make
when trying to get out the door in the morning.
6 Cast off any negative thoughts about yourself - too fat, not good looking enough? You are fabulous. Repeat that. You are fabulous. Throw away that old baggage and "Live Light" with the new freer and confident you.
7. Remember "it's all just stuff." What counts in life is people and experiences, not material belongings.
8.
When faced with a negative situation - go to the extremes - spend a few
minutes imaging the worst and what you might do. You will find that
once you do that, you realize that they situation does have a solution,
one you most likely won't need to implement. Now you can go back to
"living lighter" with less stress.
9
Meditate. Try just five minutes a day, then build up. When your mind is
totally in the moment, you are "Living Light". Meditation has been
shown to decrease stress and promote health and happiness.
10. If you have not yet completed your "Goals Circles" then do so now. (See our book.) If an activity you're doing doesn't fall in one of your wedges, consider not doing it - you will lighten your load and be more focused on achieving your desired happier and balanced life. "
