5 Things I'm Not Doing Anymore (and Why I Feel Lighter)

There's a particular kind of lightness that doesn't come from adding something new… It comes from setting something down. In this episode, I share five things I'm not doing anymore, or at least dramatically cutting back on, and why releasing them has made life feel lighter, kinder, and more sustainable. These aren't rules or resolutions or spiritual gold stars. They're quiet shifts. Chronic postures I didn't realize I was still holding, bags I'd been carrying long past their usefulness. This is a gentle, honest, slightly humorous reflection on good things that, when overdone, quietly wear us out.   💡 Today's Big Idea:  Grace starts when we stop. ⚡️ Today's Small Step: Ask yourself, what's one thing that might feel lighter if I set it down?   **** LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: 🌿The Pace of Grace Community 🌿 Slow down.
