Please leave your email address if you would like a reply, thanks.From managing your own life, personally and professionally, managing relationships, family, school, and giving yourself just enough time to do a workout, how do you live intentionally when you have all of these things you have to do?Everything is a balancing act, and it can feel like you’re drowning with all these things to do. Living with less allows you to get back to being more intentional about who and what you surround yourself with and where you put your time and energy. In this episode, I am joined by a dear friend of mine, Courtney Carver. She is an expert when it comes to bringing simplicity to all areas of your life. Through her business and community at Be More with Less, Courtney has been sharing her personal journey of simplicity with others. However, before she started her business, Courtney’s life was go, go, go and busy all the time! Eventually, a medical diagnosis led Courtney to slow down and to reduce the stress she was living under. This made her realize that living with simplicity was exactly what she needed. In this episode, Courtney teaches us how the principles of minimalism can be applied to all areas of our lives.We’re going to get real in this episode about how you can start living a more intentional and purposeful life, so let’s go!Timestamps:[9:25] - Notice and address the resistance you’re having. What can you do about it and how can you reframe it to work for your life?[17:33] - Project 333 is a Minimalist Fashion Challenge you can do to gain peace instead of chaos in the morning; a beginner's step towards simplifying your life. [19:22] - Life is about mindfulness and choices. We have leverage and power in how we can be open to change whether it’s in our clothes, work, time, relationships, etc. [26:30] - Do less so you aren’t diluting your energy. Do less with high impact and do the things that truly matter to avoid burnout. [27:12] - Do not measure your self-worth by what you did or didn’t accomplish on your daily to-do list. Your self-worth is not measured by your productivity.[28:13] - How much time and energy are you investing in your daily activities? [30:40] - Simplicity doesn’t change who you are as a person; it brings you back to who you truly are. _______________________________________________________________________________For more information on the Make Time for Success podcast, visit:https://www.maketimeforsuccesspodcast.comConnect with Us!Dr. Christine Li [host] - Website: https://www.procrastinationcoach.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/procrastinationcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/procrastinationcoach/Courtney Carver [guest] -Website: https://www.bemorewithless.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bemorewithlessdotcomInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bemorewithless/Podcast: Soul and WitMinimalist Fashion Challenge: Project 333
