Embracing Less for a Fuller Life, simplicity vs. complexity. Today, we’re diving into the intriguing concept of less as opposed to more. Have you ever noticed how we naturally tend to add more stuff to our lives instead of taking things away? Let’s explore why that is and how we can shift our mindset to embrace simplicity.
This week, I was fascinated by a conversation on the Hidden Brain podcast with Leidy Klotz, a professor at Virginia University. He shared a story about building blocks with his child. He would tend towards adding blocks while his son would take them away.
It got me thinking about our cultural tendencies to complicate things and how we might benefit from doing the opposite. Do we need all this complexity, or is there a way to live more meaningfully by stripping back?
What are we hiding from or masking with the complexity?
Join me as I reflect on my life and the accumulated clutter, especially in our busy schedules. I’ll share insights on how saying ‘no’ can empower and how Eastern philosophies like Buddhism advocate for a simpler, more focused existence. Whether it’s our personal lives or business strategies, sometimes less truly is more.
So, here’s my invitation to you: take a moment to look at your life and see where you might be adding unnecessary complexity. Could you simplify things and find more joy in the process? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this, so feel free to reach out. Let’s chat and maybe even have a conversation about how you can simplify your life, too.
