Reduce Clutter,
Reduce Stress
September marks the end of summer and the
beginning of fall. It is a great time to get organized
and simplify your life. The goal is twofold: One, to
reduce some of the exhaustion that we face from
juggling too many things at once. Two: to create
enough time so that we can enjoy life without feeling
guilty that something is being overlooked, which only
adds stress to our already stressed-out lives.
Try these tips for reducing the clutter of paper and
other things in your house. To streamline the paper
clutter, try sorting your mail as soon as you walk into
the house. Immediately put junk mail into the
recycling bin. Put catalogs and magazines directly
into the rooms where they can be leisurely read.
Place all other mail (bills, correspondences) into
an "in" basket that you can sort through during the
week. Then, either respond to the piece of mail, file
it, or throw it out.
Instead of trying to consolidate, rearrange, or
organize your things, just try to get rid of them
whenever possible to reduce the other clutter in your
house. Start by going through your house, room
by room. Toss anything that you don't need or
haven't used in the last few years. This is especially
true of clothing. Get rid of all the clothing that used
to fit when you were younger, thinner, etc.
Try to change the way that you think about the
process of reducing clutter: Instead of seeing it as
losing something, try to view it as gaining time for
more important things in life. Reducing the chaos in
our day-to-day experiences provides us with the
time and the where-withal to generate the physical,
emotional, and spiritual energies to find pleasure and
meaning in life.
Let me know about your
experience!
Best of luck,

| Nutritional Tip |
| |
Pernicious anemia has been associated with female
infertility. This form of anemia is caused by an
inability to absorb vitamin B 12. Vitamin B 12 is
naturally found in foods of animal origin. These foods
include meat, dairy products and eggs.
Try this breakfast frittata to help meet your vitamin
B 12 requirements!
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped tomato;
1 cup cooked small elbow pasta;
1/4 tsp pepper;
3 large eggs lightly beaten;
2 tsp of olive oil;
1/2 cup chopped onion;
1 1/2 cups diced zucchini;
1/2 cup shredded part- skim mozzerella cheese.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Combine macaroni with eggs and stir well.
Saute onion in olive oil in a non-stick skillet until
transparent.
Add zucchini and saute for 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and saute for 3 minutes.
Stir in macaroni mixture; spread evenly in the bottom
of the skillet.
Cook until it almost sets.
Wrap the handle of the skillet in aluminum foil and
place in in the oven.
Bake for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with cheese and bake an additional minute
until the cheese melts.
