Living with less creates time and space to discover what really matters. Through decluttering, and focusing on the best things instead of all the things, you can create a life with more savings and less&nbsp;debt, more health and less stress, more space and less stuff, and more joy with less obligation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel overwhelmed and under-inspired, I know how you feel. I&#8217;ve been there. I&#8217;ve worked too hard, spent too much, and slept too little. I spent much of my adult life tired, full, stressed and sick. I always wanted more or thought I needed more to be happy, but I\u2019ve changed my ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m Courtney Carver and I share my story to help you discover the joy in less. I\u2019ve been taking tiny steps to reduce stress since 2006 after <a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/ms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis<\/a>. While it doesn\u2019t define me or this blog, my diagnosis has had a huge impact on my life. I created Be More with Less and minimalist fashion challenge <a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/project-333\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Project 333<\/a> in 2010 and have been on an incredible journey of love, health, and simplicity. I&#8217;m so grateful to be on this path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Be more with less<\/em> means: Be more you. Give yourself all the space, time and love to remember who you are. Living with less clutter, busyness, stress and simplifying your life will help you make the room to do what you need to do. Simplifying my life gave me the space, time, and love to be more me, and the following practices led me back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-connect\">Connect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Be More with Less is a thriving community of people who crave simplicity in life and work.
