Weekend Wisdom: You don’t owe anyone your all. Save some for you.
After a short trip, I’m thinking a lot about the energy and attention our stuff requires. My stuff is pretty pared down and yet, it still feels like a little too much sometimes. When I’m packing it and unpacking it and then making it work in a small hotel room, repacking it and then unpacking again, I just think, “do I really need all this stuff?”
I’m going to hold onto that feeling moving into the holiday season when everything is twinkling and merry and bright (and tempting). Things turn up that I never knew I needed or wanted for myself and others. Instead of going all in, I’m going to lean out and remember I have more than enough. There is more joy in owning less than in managing more.
