INTRODUCTION: THE POWER OF LESS
There are many things we would like more of in our lives: more free time; more space; a more healthy lifestyle; more positive relationships… but when our days are packed full of commitments, it can be tricky to work out how to achieve these things, let alone how to fit them into our busy schedules.
The answer is simple: all you need is less. Every area of our lives can benefit from streamlining; when you cut out the things you don’t need, you leave room for the positive and beneficial things that you want to focus on. Declutter your home, for example, and you’ll have space to find the things you need and store the things you love.
The same principle can help you to strip away the unhealthy elements of your diet and replace them with nutritious alternatives, or to identify the niggles in your relationships and put them behind you. By learning to prioritize and pare things down you’ll feel the benefits across all areas of your life – you’ll feel less stressed and more fulfilled. And it’s easy to do, too, if you take it one step at a time. This book shows you how to do just that, so read on and tune in to the power of less.
