Hey everyone, it's Bo Dalton here. You know, a while back, my wife and I started this cool tradition. Each New Year, we pick a word – a sort of motto to live by. This year, the word we went with is 'less'. Sounds simple, right? But here's the thing: we realized we're just swamped. Overwhelmed, stressed, you name it. As this year winds down, I'm telling you, I'm wiped out. I'm thinking about my health, family, just the whole quality of life thing. It's like, enough already. We need to dial it back. Cut down on commitments, drama, running around like headless chickens. And yeah, even screen time needs a trim (actually screen time needs a big trim) . And the clutter? Don't get me started on the stuff piling up at home and in the garage. We're going for less of all that. But here's the kicker – it's not just about having less. It's about making space for more of the good stuff. More peace, more being 'there' in the moment. More quality time with the family. So that's our word: 'Less'. Here's to making more room for what really matters.
As we wrap up, remember this: whether you choose 'Less' or another word, I encourage you to give this exercise a try. Instead of falling back on the same old New Year's Resolutions, find a single word that resonates with you for 2024. It's about focusing on what truly matters, simplifying your approach, and making a real, sustainable change. Here's to a year of meaningful transformation!
