A few years ago I began to see campaigns such as “Be More”, “Do More” and “Get More”. It was all aimed at bettering oneself, your business, your life. Choosing To Be Less.
Choosing To Be Less
I bought into it. Because, well… it sounded good.
Sure, there was good intent behind the messages. But in trying to do more and be more to get more I found myself burnt out.
Over the Christmas holiday, I let it all go.
Less Facebook
Less Instagram
No blogging
So last week working to have less resulted in me posting three times instead of four and….the world didn’t end… and I didn’t feel bad. It actually felt….great!
This week, I didn’t post every day on Instagram. I was too busy with LESS. It was great!
In being honest with myself I know you probably didn’t notice or care and that is FABULOUS!!!
Changing one keyword to do less resulted in MORE.
By doing less and having less I have found that MORE goodness has come into my life this past week.
Why is that?
Because when I am less, this allows room for God to be more.
Less truly is more,

I love this Laura. I really have strived to be more present this past few months. And, it feels good. I have a little ceramic sign that is a constant reminder…Less Really is More.
Have a blessed week.
I think we all need to slow down some, however your slow motion is speed motion for most of us.
So true, I lost myself and am now valuing my time and releasing worries and expectations. To tell the truth, I got tired, real tired. Thank you for sharing.
I think this is so true Laura. Sometimes we forget that we are doing certain things because we love to and we ned to be careful that they don't become a “have to.”
In my case, I'm slowing down because my energy is needed elsewhere and I'm making room for God too.

This is a wonderful reminder, Laura. It does feel very good to not allow social media to consume our waking hours. Love your more balanced perspective and the resulting benefits in our lives.

If you could see my face, right now. You'd see a BIG SMILE!
It is a difficult balance when we are younger to figure out what needs to be done and what we think has to be done. We drive ourselves crazy trying to do it all. The nicest thing about getting older is knowing that we don't have to.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom! 🙂
