Feel Bad AboutThrowing Away Photos? 4 Rules for Guilt-Free Photo Downsizing

If you’ve reached a point in your life where you’ve started to downsize, then you’ve likely grappled with the difficult task of getting rid of photos. After decades of life, how are you supposed to choose which memories are important enough

truck or about how funny your best friend from college was? Keep those photos. Pictures of people whose names you can’t remember or blurry photos you can’t make out can all go. Rule No. 3: Edit Well If you have a lot of photos from a specific event or part of your life, think about how long each “chapter” of your life story would be.

If a certain event didn’t have that much meaning in your life, why dedicate pages and pages of a photo album to it?

For instance, if you slowly increase distance walked, as well as speed, you’ll effectively burn more calories on top of benefiting your health overall. The great thing about walking is that it’s not particularly demanding on the knees, and you can go at your own pace. To get the most out of walking, walk shortly after a meal, such as lunch or dinner. It’s a great way to put those calories to work quicker, which is beneficial to your waistline.

to keep and which aren’t? These four rules can help make this daunting task easier. Rule No. 1: Cut Scenic Views You don’t need dozens of photos of that campsite you went to on vacation one summer. If a location was really meaningful, like the beach at your honeymoon, then keep a few, but pictures of the places you’ve been to are far less special than pictures of the people you love. Rule No. 2: Tell a Story

There is one exercise that is ideal for overall health: walking. It’s no secret that walking is a great exercise. Harvard Medical School looked at various exercises and concluded that walking was at the top. It’s up there with swimming and tai chi. But what makes walking so effective? It’s the ease coupled with its many benefits. Walking regularly helps maintain good cholesterol levels, it can help keep your bones strong and healthy, and it helps manage blood pressure. One study showed that 40 minutes of walking every day helped people reduce their blood pressure levels from hypertension to prehypertension levels, then to normal over time.
