Weekend Wisdom:<\/strong> If you actually want to live with less stress and more peace and ease, it’s time to embrace the idea of letting go, slowing down and living with less.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d rather read a book, chat with a friend, go for a walk or work on my biz instead of scrolling social media. I’ve been pulling back for many months and as a result, see some pretty big shifts for my life and work moving forward. My friend Heidi<\/a> recently shared something that had me in total agreement. She wrote, “One of my latest deal-with-reality moments is acknowledging I\u2019m wasting way too much time in the bottomless depth of Instagram and its algorithm. Eat more protein! Save this dog! Anti-aging tips! Cute donkeys! Improve your golf swing! Hey, I\u2019m the first to admit I\u2019ve learned some great tips through social media and value it for that. But I do realize that what on the surface is masked as self-improvement or entertainment can become a big time-waster. So that\u2019s it. I\u2019m taking my time back. It\u2019s time to be present and live my life instead of endlessly half-absorbing how to improve it through IG reels.” Can you relate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
