Bring more harmony and balance into your life. Join us

for an empowering evening and learn how to clear clutter

from your mind and home, take charge of your choices,

and create more energy for living a life you love.

Been a while since you’ve seen your kitchen counter? Need

to wear a hard hat when you open your closets? Keynote

speaker Jamie Novak, organizer, humorist and best-selling

author, will have you laughing as she shares her secrets

for organizing your home.

In addition to Novak, CentraState experts will help you

break free from ingrained beliefs that hold you back (like

thinking you have to put others before yourself) so you can

set personal boundaries and make self-care a priority. We’ll

also explore why a well-rounded self-care plan includes

getting your ZZZs and show you how to get the most

restful, rejuvenating sleep of your life! Look inside for more

on event details.

KNOW HOW TO SAY “NO” Does this scenario seem familiar?

After a long, exhausting week, you can’t wait to sleep in on Sunday morning. On Saturday, you get a call from your friend asking you to go to brunch—you guessed it—on Sunday morning. You give her a rambling reason why you can’t do it, and next thing you know, she’s poking holes in your reasoning and solving your problem for you. So instead of sleeping in, you’re eating out. At that moment, it just felt easier to say yes.

“It’s not always easy to flex your NO muscle,” says Amy Metzger, MSW, LCSW, behavioral health specialist at CentraState. “It’s like an actual muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets.”

Metzger suggests keeping this in mind when you want to say NO:

• Resist the temptation to give a long-winded explanation. In fact, don’t give an explanation at all. Just graciously and assertively say “no.” If you feel that’s a bit too blunt, you can simply say: “No, I can’t. Thank you for asking.”

• You don’t need to apologize for saying NO. You have no reason to be sorry.

NO is empowering. It gives you control over your own life and lets you say “yes” to YOU.

Attend our women’s event to learn how to find your SELF by putting you first. (see below)

Lose the Clutter. Find Your SELF. w o m e n ’s e v e n t

Clear the clutter from your mind and home using the 10 & 10 approach from Jamie Novak, author of Keep This Toss That. It’ll help you get and stay organized in manageable bites rather than taking an overwhelming all-or-nothing approach.

• Write down everything you want to organize and then pick your top ten to-dos.

• Hang the list somewhere you won’t lose it, like inside your pantry door.

• Pick one item from the list to start with. Can’t decide? Roll a set of game dice. Whatever number it lands on is the to-do you act on. No re-rolls.

• Divide that to-do into 10 tiny tasks. For example, if you’re cleaning out the fridge, tasks might include throwing out expired food, wiping down shelves, and organizing produce drawers.

• Give yourself 10 minutes to accomplish a task. Setting a timer helps.

It’s fine to do just one task a day. Or a few more if you’re inspired. The key is to get one thing accomplished and off your list. Little wins are motivating. Before you know it, your home will be organized and running smoothly—and so will your life!

How to Create a Sleep Sanctuary

in 5 Easy StepsDo you dream about getting a good night’s sleep?

You’re not alone. Between work, kids, aging parents and endless to-do lists, it’s hard to turn off your mind when you turn off

the lights. Try these tips from Isabella Kaplunovich, RRT, RST, sleep specialist at CentraState, for transforming

your bedroom into a sleep haven:

CLEAR THE

CLUTTER Make sure your

bedroom is clean, serene and clutter-free.

KEEP IT COOL

Studies show 65° is the ideal

sleeping temperature.

POWER DOWN

Laptops, tablets and smart phones emit an artificial

light that can throw off your body’s

internal clock by confusing your brain

into thinking it’s daytime. MAKE

YOUR BED There’s something

about folding down your blanket and slipping into soft, clean sheets that

lets you gently drift into dreamland.

GO DARK Keep your room as

dark as possible while you’re sleeping. It helps your body’s natural sleep cycle

to kick in.
