The Things I’m Not Doing 💛

I came across this in a James Clear newsletter a while back, and I keep coming back to it:

Success is largely the failures you avoid
Health is the injuries you don’t sustain
Wealth is the purchases you don’t make
Happiness is the objects you don’t desire
Peace of mind is the arguments you don’t engage in

It’s a simple flip, but it really makes you think. We’re so used to measuring what we do — it’s easy to miss how much of a good life is made up of the things we quietly don’t do.

Not buying the thing that would clutter the house (and your head).
Not replying when you’re tired and a bit prickly.
Not pushing through a niggle that turns into an injury.
Not getting pulled into an argument you won’t care about next week. 😅

Avoid the bad to protect the good.
Sometimes progress is what we don’t do — and the peace that comes with it. 💛🌿
