What Six Weeks & a Suitcase Taught Me About 'Enough'

Have you ever lived with just the essentials—no storage bins, no junk drawers, no “just in case” items?

I did. Six weeks, one suitcase, and a surprising realization about what truly supports emotional clarity and nervous system balance.

🌿 When Less Becomes More

I didn’t expect travel to transform how I relate to my space. But with fewer choices and no clutter, I noticed more peace and more focus.

It wasn’t the destination. It was the freedom from decision fatigue. I began to understand how physical clutter contributes to internal overwhelm—and how simplicity softens your nervous system.

🧠 A Simple Practice

Open one drawer. Just one.
Let go of five things.
Notice how your body feels afterward. Lighter? Clearer?

🔁 The Real Takeaway

"Enough" isn’t a number—it’s a feeling. And sometimes we have to remove distractions to really feel it.

💡 Try This:
Clear a drawer this week. Reflect on what you're really holding onto—and why.
