Take a Break

Take a quiet herbal tea or juice break right in the middle of the day in a quiet, peaceful place. And don't feel guilty for taking a few relaxing moments for yourself. You deserve it!

Organize Your Closet

Organize your closet. Sell to consignment clothing shops or donate to charities all the things you haven't worn or used in two years.

"Whether you realize it or not, your closet holds many items that someone else in the world would really love and appreciate. Once you've weeded out those pieces that are no longer serving you, consider donating your old clothes to a homeless shelter, Goodwill, or another charity where they will be given or sold to those who need them. It's a win-win!" — Monica Ricci
