Stop Striving and Start Thriving!

Here are five reasons to stop striving:
  1. Striving creates a feeling of lack. It puts us out of alignment with what we want, because it has us focus on what we don't have.

  2. Striving keeps us living for the future. We lose touch with mindfulness and gratitude for what we already have.

  3. Striving is very poor self-care. It can burn us out.

  4. Striving turns other off.

  5. Striving blocks creativity!

Sure, we can have goals and move toward them. We just need to leave out the hurry, worry, pining, pushing, and struggling that striving fosters. We can let inspiration gently take us by the hand and lead us to our goals.

All my best,
