Time For a Fresh Start!
It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is, a Fresh Start can always be beneficial in at least one and often more areas of your life.
How about one now?
It’s quick and easy to sign up and begin right away.
Here’s How It Works
After you sign up you will receive access to the Fresh Start membership area where you will have access to all of your downloads as they become available.
I like to keep things simple so you will be starting in Week One by taking care of your own personal 7 Tolerations.
7 things that you have been putting up with, or tolerating for the past year or more.
Week Two will be focusing on Reflections, looking back over the past year to see what you have accomplished and what you would like to do better in the coming year.

No Time
I was doing a massive clearing of a closet I have in my office that had become one of those places that you avoid because it is so overwhelming, but you know that once you get it finished that it will be a major stepping stone to making life easier and more efficient.
I was feeling extremely stressed.
After examining my feelings for a few minutes, an extremely handy thing to do if you find yourself feeling stressed – many times we just roll with it and don’t take the time, but if you can pinpoint where it is coming from beyond the surface symptom – many times that will be a major step to removing it from your life.
In my case I made a huge discovery that will indeed help me to remove a major stressor.

Doing the 3 Step
If you find yourself with a little time on your hands or feeling disoriented but would like to move ahead today, here’s what you can do – do the 3 step!
It’s simple.
Decide on 3 things you’d like to do – probably the first three that pop into your head – they will be the things that are likely nagging you the most.
Write them down.
Put a time limit beside each one.
Set your timer for the first item on your list.
Go!

How to Build a Green Super Smoothie
There are countless recipes to make green smoothies – you can tweak them to suit your mood or your ingredients on hand.
Here is a look at the ingredients I like to put in my typical green smoothie. It’s a good idea to switch up some of the basics or go simple sometimes too.
One thing you may notice missing – spinach, kale or swiss chard – my Go To Greens.
I am out at the moment but have some sprouts in my sprouter, so that’s what I am using.
You can buy organic greens at the grocery store or your local health food dealer but you can also grow your own a lot cheaper with much less packaging. More on that coming up along with some more great smoothie ideas.
Remember to buy organic when you can – it is better for your health as well as your compost (invaluable when you continue the cycle and grow more of your own veggies and fruits.)

When Things Pile Up
One day I was cleaning up and the laundry basket I was using to pile things in to take to the basement was getting fuller and fuller. It was piling up!
I thought to myself, if I keep doing this, it is going to get unmanagable and hard to carry down the stairs.
Then it hit me, hey! That is what I used to do in many areas of my life and yes, it did get unmanagable and hard.
What a great illustration of the benefits of doing things more frequently in little bites rather than allowing them to pile up and do in one big session (which usually doesn’t happen until the ‘pile’ is over flowing and we just want to run from it!)
JUST FOR TODAY
Think small. Do it in bits before it piles up.
What ever it is.

Being Pro-Active Can Change Your Life
If there is one thing that can make the biggest difference in almost anything I would say that it’s being proactive in both your mindset and your follow through.
It is going to be the featured theme our first week in the No KAOS Zone because it is central to almost anything that you might want to accomplish – even keeping your house in order.
I did a video about it talking about being proactive in general.
