Less is more…

This is one of my favourite sayings, "less is more".

Kind of coincides with quality over quantity...a mindset and lifestyle motto I have embraced since I was really young, (except books, you can never have too many books, lol).

I even had a small professional organizing business and cleared clutter and created more relaxing, organized spaces for clients.

Minimalism and living with less, seems to be more important right now, than ever.

Ever notice how you feel after you clear and clean your office space? Or the fridge? Your car?

Maybe your social feed? Photos? Apps and subscriptions on your phone?

Living with less is definitely not a new idea...

Yogis have been following principles (yamas) that align with living a simpler life for thousands of years.

Specifically, aparigraha, the 8th yogic Yama.

Aparigraha literally translates into “not grasping,” and is a lifestyle practice of non-greed and non-attachment with obvious ties to minimalism.

This is what has been weighing on me, not lately, but for the past few years, actually.

Less for me, moving forward is detaching from social media platforms.

Less posting and connecting and scrolling.
