Always busy? Always pushing? Yeah, me too—until I recently decided that hustle culture is draining me. Here are some strategies I'm exploring to shift my mindset to live lighter and invest in my mental health.

1. Rethinking Success

It’s not just money or status—it’s joy, balance, and feeling good about my life and myself.

2. Stop Chasing Busy

Being overwhelmed ≠ being successful. Rest matters. Saying 'no' matters.

3. Enough is More than Enough

More stuff, more work, more stress. Nope. Enjoy what you already have.

4. Choose Memories Over Things

Spend less on stuff, and more on experiences, adventures, and time with people you love.

5. Say No (Without Feeling Bad)

Protect your energy. You don’t have to do 'everything'—boundaries make life better.

6. Slow Down & Be Present

Stop rushing. Live the moments instead of just checking off tasks.

7. Play the Long Game

Quick wins fade fast. Build a life that feels good in the long run.

I'm going to start small and hope that is grows! One shift at a time. What’s your first step toward simplicity? Let's keep the chat going. 💙
