Edit, Add, Appreciate — July 5

It’s Sunday…time to edit, add, and appreciate one thing in your life that will help you be a better you.

Edit one thingmaterial objects, negative thoughts, bad habits, or activities that don’t reflect who you are as a person. It doesn’t have to be a physical thing; Sometimes bad habits and negative thoughts are more detrimental than physical clutter.
Add something. Bring in something or reinvent one thing in your life–thoughts, habits, activities, clothing, objects…Add something that will help you be a better person; And yes, sometimes a new pair of jeans can help!
Appreciate something or someone already in your life. Hug your children and tell them how special they are. Call your spouse, just because. Be extra polite to the guy who makes your latte. Frame that favorite piece of art.


The Mr. Linky rules are as follows:
1. Post in your blog what you will edit, add, and appreciate.
2. Link Mr. Linky directly to your Edit, Add, Appreciate post (not to your homepage! I reserve the right to delete you, if you link to your homepage. It’s not personal, just confusing to others if they’re trying to find your EAA post.)
3. If you want to play along in the comment section, feel free. But don’t join the Mr. Linky brigade unless you put up an actual post on your blog.
4. I would be grateful if you place a Graceful Creative link in your post, but you don’t have to.
This week I will:

Edit 100 things from my house. It’s time again
Add the new habit of choosing 3 MIT’s for each day. {Most Important Tasks}
Appreciate this time of my life, where I can just be. No school, fewer obligations — I’ll never get these days back.

For those of you who want to use your own Edit, Add, Appreciate image, Angie created one just for you…

Great Sunday post! I love that you’re always trying to get rid of things you don’t need. SO many people should read this and do what you do because it’s such a great feeling to have a clean, organized house that’s void of all the clutter than unnecessary stuff brings. I also love what you’re appreciating this week — being in the moment, in the now. It sounds like this is a nice, relaxing time for you (other than the wedding planning stuff and the house stuff) so you should take advantage of it. :)

yes, the be part. I’m feeling overwhelmed a bit this morning with things I have going for the new business. Yet, I want to just be. One day at a time.

I also LOVE getting rid of stuff now.

Fantastic list for this week - but seriously, 100 things edited - so impressed! I wonder if I could even do that…hmmmmm

@ PP~
I’m always trying to get rid of stuff! LOL I can’t stand clutter, and with kids, it’s much harder!!

@ Denise~
“Just Be.” That’s all I want to do this week {and beyond.} When I’m *in the moment*, it’s funny how lovely life is! How is your new business going? Do you have any blogs or entrepreneurial groups guiding you? (Have you heard of Princess Startup?)

@ Danica~
100 things doesn’t seem so hard when I think of all the stuff that’s sitting around the house, unused. I guess that kind of why I like to list them on my blog when I get rid of them — maybe others will see how *easy* it is to declutter a lot of accumulated *stuff.*
