Zen Quickie- 10 Ways to Feel More Balanced Instantly!!

I, like many of you, wear multiple hats. I'm a wife, a mother, a friend, a daughter, a sister, a toy-fixer. I'm a writer, a speaker, a consultant, a lifestylist, an entrepreneur. I could go on, but I think you get my drift!

Juggling lots of things can make us feel a bit crazed, unless we embrace the moments, and leave juggling for the clowns!! I think it's the little things that make the biggest difference, and besides, when we focus on the things we CAN control, finding balance is a piece of cake!!

Here are 10 simple, practical, and totally fun ways to feel more balanced instantly!!

1. 1. Write a morning "to-do" list. Bonus points for smiling when writing it.
2. 2. Drink lots of water- add lemon for an extra zing!!
3. 3. Organize your space bit by bit- start by organizing just the space you're working in right now.
4. 4. Give someone a sincere, unexpected compliment. Notice the little things.
5. 5. Do something silly, like take a dance break or jump for joy!!
6. 6. Donate your time, clothes, toys, and/or furniture.
7. 7. Use a calendar system that actually works for you. Figure out your "Planner Personality."
8. 8. Say "no" to something you know you just can't handle.
9. 9. Handwrite a letter to an old friend.
10. 10. Take 2 minutes in the morning and 2 minutes in the evening to just breathe.

AND *BONUS TIP* if you really want to "get balanced", bubbles do wonders! Blow bubbles or take a bubble bath, whatever your fancy!!
