There is an art to organizing type and pictures on a page and making it look beautiful. Many years ago, I went to school for graphic design and although I didn&#8217;t have the yearning to pursue a career in it, I&#8217;m glad I learned how to use the various design and layout programs; I can&#8217;t tell you how often it has come in handy in my own business. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I was designing a brochure for a friend the other day and it occurred to me that a typical mistake non-designers make when doing a layout of a document is using every inch of space on the page and filling it with text, pictures, lines, boxes, etc. I didn&#8217;t realize until now, what a valuable commodity space is. <\/p>\n<p>Space is important and often, the more space you don&#8217;t use on a page, the clearer your message becomes. Take a look at a document that is filled from top to bottom, where do you set your eyes first? After a while of staring at the document, your eyes get tired and you abandon the document altogether. I thought to myself, this idea of creating space on a document is synonymous with life as well; we also need to create space in our lives, to help us see a clearer picture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thatsfit.ca\/2010\/01\/17\/benefits-of-creating-space-in-your-mind-and-life\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Benefits of Creating Space in Your Mind and Life<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thatsfit.ca\/2010\/01\/17\/benefits-of-creating-space-in-your-mind-and-life\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permanent link to this entry\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/thatsfit.ca\/forward\/19316242\/\" title=\"Send this entry to a friend via email\">Email this<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/thatsfit.ca\/2010\/01\/17\/benefits-of-creating-space-in-your-mind-and-life\/#comments\" title=\"View reader comments on this entry\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filed under: Advice, Happiness, Health, Fit Yoga I love my work as a yoga teacher but I also have a real love for graphic design.
