The pressures of life can be overwhelming, and often lead to stress and anxiety. But where do these pressures come from? Could it be that we create them ourselves?
We try to squeeze so much into our days. We work hard, take on new hobbies, and feel compelled to say “yes” whenever someone asks us for help. It’s not surprising that we feel stretched and stressed. We don’t even have time to ask ourselves, “does all this activity truly make me happy?”
So, what is the solution? Could it be that by doing less, we gain more—not in quantity, but in clarity and peace? Perhaps we should focus only on what truly matters, and set the rest aside. This may help reduce pressure while also giving us space to do the important things better.
If doing less leads to happiness, why do we ignore this wisdom?
