This coming week is Downshifting week. Downshifting is about slowing down your pace, finding a better work/life balance, consequently embracing living with less and leading a simpler, greener and happier life! It's about making simple changes to improve and enjoy your way of life...make time to enjoy life.
My top successful tips:
- Time - Find the "time" to spend with your loved ones
- Cook a meal from scratch
- Give - Dontate clothes, volunteer to a local charity
- Create hand-made cards with the kids for birthday parties and holidays
- Eleminate non-essential purchases
- Plant/Grow herbs, flowers, plants and trees
- Most importantly, I like to turn off the TV and computer (Internet) and spend quality time with my family, play a few board games!
Support InterNational Downshiting week: Saturday 19th to Friday April 25, 2008. Find out how you can take part and improve your life - visit downshiftingweek.com.
Happy Downshifting week...Be Healthier & Greener!
