Life in the Balance

March 2010 marks the beginning of Life in the Balance Month at Stillwater Family Therapy. All month we will be exploring the difficult challenges of supporting your family, your health, your career, and your friends -- all while surviving/thriving in some of the most difficult economic challenges most of us have ever faced. Join us on this journey of creative discovery on one small step you could practice for just one day that might change your life.

Monday, March 1 -- How about this one: Open your refrigerator. Look on the second shelf on the door. Look at the left hand side of the second shelf on the door. Take everything off that shelf and put it on the counter. Close the refrigerator. Check the expiration date of everything on the counter. If the date is past, throw it out! If you haven't even thought about using it in the last six months, throw it out (there's more at the Safeway in case you need it...). Open the refrigerator. Wipe off the empty shelf. Put the containers you didn't throw out back on the shelf. Close the refrigerator. Take a nap. Nice Job!
