the first week into 2019, and i love the thought behind setting intentions for more of and less of in the new year. resolutions were never a priority of mine because they always seemed to set us up for fail. too much rigidity. too concrete.
this more/less mentality instead gives us grace – increasing the things that fill us and limiting the things that do otherwise. i see it as a complementary element to how i choose to live anyway: with intention, embracing imperfection in the every day, focusing on things that bring wholeness, simplifying as we go. i liken it to a wabi-sabi way of life.
here is my more/less list for 2019, ever flexible as the seasons change:
more:
walks
reading
snail mail
dinner parties
seeking and dwelling on beauty in the everyday
intimacy with gino
gardening
gratitude
smiles
less:
judgment
gossip
screen time
apology
over-thinking
impatience
here’s to living well and full!
