Get Rid of Excess Living

In the days of my immigrant grandparents, there was no such thing as "waste". If you only used half a paper towel, you folded it in half, tore it apart, and saved the rest for the next time. We have gotten so far away from that mentality, we have literally drowned ourselves in excessive living, and now it is up to us to throw ourselves a lifeline to get out of this mess. Have you been buying things that you realize you already have at home? Have you taken a good look at your bills to see if there is any extra "padding" in them, or services you don't use? Have you been going out to dinner with friends for fear you'll be left out if you would rather eat home and save money? These are all signs of Excess Living. The beauty is, once you weed the excess out, a beautify clarity comes into focus. It is like putting the plug in a bathtub filled with your energy--financial and emotional. You don't want your energy to be all drained away . You'll find you don't need excess, and that with simplicity comes tranquility.

Welcome! Benvenuti

Welcome to my new blog . I hope to fill this space with lots of personal development articles that will help you live your life with balance and simplicity. Many of my posts will be based on techniques that I have learned through my 20 years of teaching psychology, but I will also include the tips that promote well-being, based on lifestyle tips of the Bel Paese. There are so many wonderful, effective ways to live well in these tough economic times. Ways to reduce stress, save money, and become more focused and skilled in the face of our challenges. This blog is meant to be educational, it is not psychotherapy. As a life coach and personal development consultant I hope to present information that will help you to be all you were meant to be.
