Today's Tip: MAKE YOUR BED!
When I first got married, my husband commented on the "pointless" process of making the bed. The first few times he mentioned it, I shrugged it off and continued to make our bed. A few years later, however, it had already influenced me to the point that I realized I was rarely even pulling the covers up! Part of this was due to our different schedules, co-sleeping with children and the fact that many times when I woke up, someone was still in bed sleeping. But that is no excuse! Even if it is 6:00 p.m. I have found that I feel better if I hurry and make the bed. Somehow it affects not only my room, which my husband argues no one ever sees (but we do!) More than anything, it seems to affect my mood and sense of well-being. My house can be in utter chaos and overwhelming, but if the beds are made, I feel I have a handle on it. So, give it a try! Whether you're married or single, your house is already in order or it looks like a tornado hit, start by making all the beds and if your children are old enough, teach them to do it themselves. Every day. It DOES make a difference!
