What if the path to your goals isn't about adding more—it's about subtracting what's in the way?
As we approach the end of the year, most of us are thinking about what to ADD: more workouts, more meditation, more productivity. But research shows we have an "addition bias"—we instinctively solve problems by adding rather than removing, even when subtraction would be more effective.
In this episode, we explore:
Why we default to addition (and why subtraction feels like giving up)
Four key areas worth subtracting: narratives, distractions, behaviors, and physical clutter
The science behind why less actually helps you accomplish more
Real examples of people who reached their goals through subtraction, not addition
A simple practice to start subtracting this week
Your brain has limited processing capacity. Every choice, notification, and commitment takes up mental bandwidth. When you remove the noise, what's essential becomes clear.
This week's challenge: Identify ONE thing to subtract. Just one. Notice the space it creates and what emerges.
Remember: The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let go. Subtraction isn't about deprivation—it's about discernment.
Sound interesting? Take a listen and then explore what subtraction might look like for you.
