A week of the new year and of the new month has passed. What other Breathing Space tips will help give you a sense of control?
[ ] On each trip to the supermarket, shop for at least two food items that are new to you or your family.
[ ] Eat in-season fruits that are high in citrus and bioflavonoids, such as oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines. You need your Vitamin C in the winter! Also, take a multivitamin.
[ ] Tackle all household repair jobs before spring. Handle one project per week.
[ ] If the roads are clear, take one new route from work each week.
[ ] Enroll in a course at your local college, and take advantage of mid-afternoon or evening time slots. Most evening classes are smaller, allowing for more class discussion and individual attention.
[ ] Take advantage of all the post-holiday bargains. Buy in bulk and buy off-season items when the price is right.
[ ] Go ahead and schedule that spa treatment you’ve been wanting to take.
[ ] Give your body a treat, go to sleep early at least one night per week.
