I saw this for me last year, when my “one word” was Simplify.\u00a0 Sighhhh\u2026it brings calm just writing it. It evokes a physical lightness in me\u2026just the idea<\/em> of simplifying is so nice.\u00a0 It was definitely the right word for me last year, as I moved, downsized my home, got rid of literally half of my possessions, traded my SUV in for a small car, and just stopped trying so hard all of the time. I gave myself permission to \u2018do\u2019 less and \u2018be\u2019 more.\u00a0 Truly underneath this craving for simplicity was a desire to connect more with people.\u00a0 A desire to have experiences such as travel more and be a part of fun events.\u00a0 To be out in the world more present and less distracted.\u00a0 Ultimately I needed head space\u2026. and I had to take real, measurable action to get it.<\/p>\n

So after moving and downsizing, what\u2019s it like?\u00a0 Do I have more head space, feel freer or lighter?<\/p>\n

The answer is very simple.<\/p>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n
