Will Doing Less Actually Give Me More? I’m Ready to Find Out

Hello Lovelies,

Some weeks, I struggle for topics to write about, and sometimes a giant ball of inspiration strikes me out of nowhere. This week, it was definitely the latter.

I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been part of Respin, and this week marked our final coaching session as BETA testers.

As I listened to these incredible women sharing their updates, it hit me hard.

For so long, I’ve been laser-focused on what I should be doing: eating the right food, drinking less alcohol, drinking more water, moving more, strength training, working on my business, keeping the house spotless, cooking dinner, getting 8 hours of sleep…

Jeez, I’m exhausted just writing it. The constant pressure to do everything “right” has become overwhelming.

But what if, instead, I did the opposite? What if I allowed myself just to be?

I won’t lie; the concept feels utterly alien to me. I haven’t the foggiest idea how to start, but maybe that’s the point.

As someone who practically lives in their to-do list, maybe all I really need to do is… get rid of it.

Ok, I think my heart actually just stopped. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but let’s just say that perhaps Sundays become my free day. No plans, no tasks, just “going with the flow” and doing whatever I feel like doing instead of what I feel like I. should be doing.
