❤️ Weekend Favorites: 10 minimalist rules + how to beat end of summer blues

Weekend Wisdom: Juggling everything makes it impossible to enjoy anything.
Something you probably don't know about me is that I have pretty major dental anxiety. It took me a long time to find a dentist I trusted. When I did find one, I stayed with his practice for 15 years (or more) until he recently closed his business. Finding a new dentist has been a challenge and very stressful. I can be calm in almost any situation but not at the dentist. I know how to soothe my nervous system, but I forget at the dentist. If you have something like this too, where the calming tricks don't work I have so much compassion for you. My only advice (and the only thing that helps me) is to give yourself lots of space after the stressful thing. Go home, lie down and watch your favorite movie while your body and brain release the tension. P.S. If you live in Salt Lake City and love your gentle dentist, please let me know. AND NOW, ON TO THE FAVORITESClick here to see all of the Weekend Favorites (including: a funny show I want to watch, 3 rules for better back health, and a playlist to help you declutter). Share the love! If you think this would brighten or lighten a friend's weekend, please forward this email or share the Weekend Favorites with this link. xo, Courtney |

Weekend Wisdom: Don't let your legacy be containers full of stuff. When I started simplifying my life in 2006, I was pretty sick. With a recent multiple sclerosis diagnosis and in the middle of a full-on relapse, I know things had to change. I also knew that stressing myself and my family by going after that overnight fix I was always after wasn’t going to work. Today, I’ve been relapse free since 2008, thanks in part to removing a bunch of stress in my life through simplicity, gentle...
Hello Reader, These are the things I've done that have made the biggest difference and allowed me to be present for what matters to me. Once I began to simplify, I realized I wanted more than to just get through my life. I wanted to show up for it, to be in my life and not just checking pieces of it off my list each day. I wanted to stop proving myself by what I accomplished and start noticing what meant something to me. If you want that too these simple secrets will help. 5 Simple Secrets to...
