Episode 3437: Courtney Carver explores five everyday habits that quietly increase stress, from staying constantly busy to overexplaining your decisions. By replacing these patterns with healthier boundaries and simpler routines, she shows how creating more space and intention can lead to greater calm, energy, and peace of mind. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://bemorewithless.com/daily-habits/ Quotes to ponder: "Always being busy has become an admirable way for people to avoid themselves." "Doomscrolling is when a person actively seeks out saddening or negative material to read or scroll through on social media or news media outlets. The idea behind doomscrolling is attempting to get access to all the information you need to keep yourself protected from what’s dangerous around you." "The only people upset about you setting boundaries are the ones who benefited from you having none." Episode references: Sara Kuburic: https://www.sarakuburic.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
