Unsubscribe. Unsubscribe. Unsubscribe.

Remember the good ole days when you unsubscribed from junk mail and it felt so good? (If you haven't yet unsubscribed click HERE. I believe there is a small fee of $1.) You can also do this one by one for free by contacting each company yourself.

And then you opted out of telemarketing calls. (Click HERE if you haven't and want to!)

And out of prescreened credit offers. (Click HERE, you have the option of opting out for 5 years or permanently.)

And then I took it one step further. I UNSUBSCRIBED from emails and it felt so good! I was a clicking and subscribing queen. Save 10%, get free shipping, whatever the enticing offer was I was in, sign me up. But then every morning I was greeted with 50, 60, or 70 emails! Ugh! Out of these emails about 4-5 were something I was interested in or from someone I knew. So I unsubscribed, from EVERYTHING (well almost everything). I still get emails from my bank, but I changed the settings to receive only important account related messages. I also still follow my airline miles account (how can I dream about vacationing if I don't see how many miles I have :0) I don't miss the emails at all. It is a relief to wake up to 5 emails in the morning and not to get offers from stores throughout the day.


Try it! Stop the junk mail, the calls, the credit offers, and the emails. It really does feel so good.

What small changes in your life have brought you the most peace?
