    Start piling on the blankets and hoodies instead of cranking the heat! I tend to like a very warm home but limiting the thermostat helps more than just my budget.

    We can all benefit from communicating constructively because breaking out of the barrier of your own ego is always helpful. We get so wrapped up in our own thoughts and ideas that having a healthy reminder of someone else's version of reality is grounding, or, it can be.

    It has allowed me to move past feelings of anger directed at myself and others and unburdens me from feelings that really only affect me. It can be difficult to do but creating and sustaining an attitude of forgiveness has helped a lot in my personal life.

    Reworking clothing that has been in the corners and in the closets is always fun and reminds you of the things that you forgot that you had. I feel like every time I dig out a box there is something I swear I lost ages ago that I can mix into my every day things.
