Letting go, making conscious choices, and expressing gratitude are all proven, perennial wisdoms for enriching one’s life. And wisdom loves simplicity…

Think of three simple things to edit from, add to, and appreciate more in your life. (We’ve actually created “edit, add, and appreciate” column on our own weekly to-do lists.) Sticky notes are also an excellent tool for this – for your fridge, your daily planner, or your dashboard.

What is it time to EDIT out of your life? Let go of one thing – an object, a thought, or an activity. Like…an old sweater that never felt right. Or the thought form that tells you you’re not as far along as you think you should be. Or a small habit, like staying up too late. (This is a great book for helping your in your editing process.)

What do you want to ADD? Bring into, or re-invent, one thing in your life – an object, a thought or an activity. Like…a new sweater that feels JUST RIGHT. Or the thought form that you are always where you’re meant to be. Or a small habit like going to bed early one night a week and letting the chores wait until the next day.

What do you APPRECIATE: More fully appreciate someone or something. Send a thank you note to a partner or friend for the simple and exquisite gift of companionship. Be extra polite to the guy who makes your latte. Get that old painting re-framed, or finally take those pants to the tailor. Spend some time admiring your own eyes.

Edit, add, and appreciate one new thing each week. Start small and feel what happens.
