The Courage of Wanting Less in a World That Wants More
Nov 16, 2025
There comes a moment, quiet, subtle, almost imperceptible, when the constant reaching for more begins to feel less like ambition and more like noise.
More goals.
More connections.
More conversations.
More expectations.
More doing, achieving, performing.
For so long, “more” is what we’ve been taught to celebrate. More means progress. More means success. More means you’re moving in the right direction.
But then, one ordinary morning, something inside you feels… full. Full in every corner of your life, yet strangely empty in the centre of your being.
And when you finally pause long enough to listen, a whisper rises from the quietest part of you:
“What if less is enough?”
Not because you’re giving up.
Not because you’re shrinking.
But because your soul is tired of carrying what was never meant for her.
Because somewhere along the way, “more” stopped expanding you and started depleting you.
Less is not lack. Less is liberation.
Wanting less doesn’t mean you want a smaller life, it means you want a truer one.
Less comparison.
Less external validation.
Less overcrowded schedules.
Less pretending.
Less noise around your worth.
And with that comes more of what actually matters:
More inner peace.
More clarity.
More presence.
More spaciousness to hear your own desires.
More connection with the parts of you that got buried beneath all the striving.
This is the moment when you stop chasing and start choosing.
When you release what drains you so you can rise into what aligns with you.
But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough: wanting less takes courage.
In a world built on performance, “less” can feel rebellious.
It triggers questions.
It invites judgement.
It challenges the collective obsession with constant motion.
But your nervous system knows.
Your heart knows.
Your energy knows.
It’s not that you can’t keep doing it all, it’s that you’re no longer willing to abandon yourself to maintain a life that looks good but doesn’t feel good.
The real courage lies in choosing the life your soul is asking for… not the one the world applauds.
So here’s your gentle reminder today:
If you’re craving less, honour that.
If your body wants slower, listen.
If your soul is whispering for space, give it to her.
If your energy is pulling you inward, trust where it’s guiding you.
You are not here to endlessly perform.
You are here to experience the fullness of being alive, and sometimes that fullness comes from simplifying, clearing, and returning to what feels undeniably true for you.
Less can be the doorway.
Less can be the soft return home.
Less can be the beginning of a richer, deeper, more meaningful chapter of your life.
And if you’re feeling this shift… you’re not alone.
I’m right here with you, walking this path of intentional, soul-led living, choosing less noise, less pressure, less expectation… for a life that feels like more of me.
And more of you, too. 🤍
