Why Less is the New Success

Imagine a world where I had more time to do the things I love, just by cutting back on a few things I don’t. Sounds tempting, right? But let’s be honest—when I ask myself, “What could I do less of?” the first thought that pops into my head is, “Everything except eating chocolate and scrolling Instagram memes.” But here’s the catch—doing less isn’t about deprivation; it’s about liberation.

Let me break it down with a touch of humor and a sprinkle of my own wisdom.

Less Scrolling, More Strolling

What’s the difference between 30 minutes of scrolling on my phone and 30 minutes of strolling in the park? One leaves me wondering why my cousin’s cat gets more likes than my inspirational shorts in youtube, and the other leaves me with fresh air and maybe a little clarity. Plus, trees don’t judge me.

Less Complaining, More Gaining

I’ve caught myself saying, “Why is it always me?” while staring at a pile of laundry that’s begun to resemble Mount Everest. Maybe if I spent less time complaining and more time delegating, life could look a bit brighter—and cleaner.

Less Multitasking, More Magic

Here’s a secret: my brain wasn’t designed to juggle cooking, answering emails, and pretending to listen to my child’s intricate Minecraft story—all at once. I need to do less of that. Focusing on one thing at a time might make even chopping onions feel oddly therapeutic (or at least tear-jerking).

Less Judging, More Hugging

Okay, maybe hugging isn’t always literal. But metaphorical hugs—kindness, empathy, and understanding—can make my life softer. And let’s face it: I’m just winging it most of the time anyway.

Less “What Ifs,” More “Why Not?”

I need to stop imagining apocalyptic scenarios for every little thing. What if I try that hobby I’ve been curious about? Life isn’t waiting for me to solve all its mysteries; it’s waiting for me to join in on the fun.

A Little Less Perfection, Please🫣😄

I don’t need to have all the answers, and I certainly don’t need to bake perfect cupcakes with a Pinterest-worthy swirl. I need to do less of chasing perfection and more of embracing the delightful chaos of being human. After all, my life’s sweetest moments often come from its quirks, not its symmetry.

So, what could I do less of? I’m thinking about it. And while I’m at it, I’ll do less overthinking and more living.💕💕💕💕
