I have come up with the first way to try to reduce the stress in my life.
I have noticed that my stress level is directly correlated with the cleanliness of my house. If I am stressed - the house is a mess. When I'm not stressed - the house is clean. So let's try to work at this backwards… if the house is clean, then maybe I won't be as stressed, because I won't be stressing over cleaning the house… it's quite the vicious cycle, really.
Solution: we have hired a house cleaner. Yay! She's going to clean the house so we will have more time to enjoy our weekends. I have noticed that weekends tend to be saturated with house cleaning instead of fun. It will also help because we are going to be forced to pick-up the house more regularly (aka the pre-clean :) hehe) before the cleaner comes. This way it hopefully won't ever get too overwhelming. I am so excited! I hope this will help reduce the amount of stress.
This is my first step towards my new year's resolution - yay for progress!
