We make them every day and look at them, lists can be helpful or they can make us feel bad. It is up to us to use the list to empower ourselves. We have David Letterman?s Top 10 lists, tips on every magazine cover and oh let's not forget about the 10 Commandments. I have even made my own list of FlyLady's 11' Commandments. Command-ments. This little list gives you the tools to find peace in your world. Just reading the list is not going to give you the answers to all those questions. But guess what? It is a great start. I know why we love list so much. It is because they seem so easy and we have time to read just a list. So here goes. I am going to take our 11 commandments and show you how doing them is a way to pamper yourself every single day. It is the being nice to yourself your-self that is the key to this peace! 1. Keep your sink clean and shiny! This put a smile on your face and helps you to stay on top of your kitchen. 2. Do your Before Bedtime Bed-time Routine EVERY NIGHT. Doing a before bedtime routine help you to start each morning on 833 S. 170 E. Provo 377-1011 boxmartofprovoyahoo.com 625 N.

Everyone deserves to wake up without with-out stress. 3. Do your Morning Routine Rou-tine EVERY DAY, RIGHT WHEN YOU GET UP. I want you to dress to lace up shoes so that you look good and this will help you feel well too. 4. Don't allow yourself to be sidetracked by the computer. com-puter. We have a tendency to stick our heads in the sand. Let computer time be a way to pamper and reward re-ward yourself. 5. Pick up after yourself. IF YOU GET IT OUT, PUT IT AWAY WHEN FINISHED. FIN-ISHED. This is one thing that we don't even notice until it goes undone. When picking up after yourself all the time becomes a habit, hab-it, you no longer have major ma-jor hot spots to make you feel bad. 6. Don't try to do two projects at once. ONE JOB AT A TIME. Don't pull out more than you can put back in one hour. Getting overwhelmed by a project is not good for your stress levels. Focus on one thing and you will find peace. 7. Do something for yourself every day, maybe even every morning and night. You are worth it! 8. Work as fast as you can to get a job done. This new mm , . Mf& 1 j j will give you more time to play later. Free time is me time! Don't let a job hang over your head. Get it done and forget about it. 9. Smile even when you don't feel like it. It is contagious. conta-gious. A smile on your face can change your whole attitude. Do it even if you don't feel like smiling. The smile tells your head that you are happy. You can do this. 10. Make your mind up to be happy and you will be. We can talk ourselves into anything; why not happy? Get out of your "poor me" attitude and count your blessings. 11. Pamper yourself, you deserve it. Yes you do. You do so much for everyone else, take a few minutes to do something nice just for you! When you develop the habit you will be FLY-ing FLY-ing High! I want pampering pamper-ing yourself to become just as automatic as putting on your shoes and shining shin-ing your sink. If you don't take care of you, then who will? I want pampering to become a way of life, every ev-ery single day! I think you just need to be given permission per-mission to do this. Maybe not even permission, but an order! Now go pamper yourself. Use this list to help you FLY because Finally Loving Lov-ing Yourself is an action that comes to you in each of these 11 Commandments. Command-ments.

In 2008, a typical Utah family's annual gasoline expense ex-pense jumped to 5.9 percent of real income-equating to $5,655 a year or $471 a month for gasoline. This is a huge change from the $3,596 a year and $300 a month in 2005. According to a Wells Fargo study, this extra $170 a month for gasoline far exceeds ex-ceeds a typical discretionary savings in Utah and will adversely ad-versely impact many family budgets. If a typical Utah family has predetermined to spend 5 percent of its real income on gasoline-this would purchase pur-chase 1,261 gallons of gasoline gaso-line (annualized for May 2008)-down 28 percent from 2005. At 21 miles per gallon, this equates to 26,500 miles a year-compared with 36,700 miles in 2005. "Yet keep in mind that the situation might possibly be even worse than the numbers num-bers indicate," said Kelly K. Matthews, executive vice president and economist for Wells Fargo Utah. "Utah's personal disposable income after tax, if similar to the national average, would be about 13 percent less than total to-tal real income." I o&liMUiitif ...Ofc'V.
