Living life on a budget is not as stressful as people think. To make it even less stressful, I have created a super simple Fun Sized Budget Bundle just for you!
Often times when people set health and fitness goals they cut out every single food that was bad for them. Usually that doesn’t work. Instead, pick one food that you know is bad and cut that out. Keep at it and then add another bad food on top of it. Sort of like a snowball effect.
If you have a significant other, it is crucial to make time for them in your life. A relationship is the foundation of everything a life is built on and if you have one, make sure you are taking the time to nurture it.
This is just crucial. You should be drinking half your body weight in ounces of water every day!
Think about it, cutting one TV show from your daily lineup will easily free up over 20 minutes of time to do something more productive. You can read a book, take a bath, take a nap…whatever it may be. Just make sure you are filling your time with something that benefits you and helps you reach your goals.
Chances are you have something on your schedule that you keep saying “yes” to but really it’s burning you out. There is no shame in saying “no” and scratching something off your to do list.

It’s tempting to look at your phone as soon as you wake up, especially if you’re groggy. Instead, start taking this time to yourself. You deserve it.
Rachel Hollis suggests making a mix on your phone or iPod that totally psychs you up. A playlist that can totally transform your mood. The key is, only listening to it when you absolutely need it!

There is nothing wrong with sitting in total silence. Trust me. Raise kids for a decade and you’ll understand.
Washing your face is such a grown up thing. I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner. Washing your face at night and first thing in the morning has a way of washing off the old and helping you start a new.
No one likes traffic jams. But maybe you could find a way to make them less terrible. If you feel frustrated, trying taking a few deep breaths, turning on your favorite station and just enjoying the slow, quiet car ride. Because either way you’re not going anywhere.
To avoid rushing in the morning, it is a good idea to get your outfit and anything else you’ll need together the night before. That way you are all set to get your day started. No extra brain power required.
