Learning To Love “Just Enough”

Learning To Love “Just Enough”

It’s human nature to pursue more: More stuff. More money. More professional power. While it’s certainly important to both create and reach goals in life, the mindless pursuit of more leaves many of us feeling depleted.

And when we’re always striving to attain the next big thing? We are effectively removing ourselves from the beauty of the present moment.

On today’s show I’m speaking with blogger Tyler Moore about whether it’s possible to be happy with less and, if so, how.

 

Here’s a preview:

[7:45] The relationship between tidying up your stuff and tidying up your priorities

[10:30] Quieting the voice in your head that yearns for more

[16:00] The unexpected benefits of living with just enough

[25:00] First steps for determining what’s just enough for you
