Summary

Courtney Carver of Be More With Less shares seven things to do when you're really sad. Episode 2002: 7 Things to Do When You are Really Sad by Courtney Carver of Be More With Less on Simplifying Your Happiness Courtney Carver was stopped in her tracks with a scary MS diagnosis after decades of debt, discontent, and trying to do it all. She had to slow down, prioritize her health, and figure out what was really important in her life. She discovered what mattered most by getting rid of everything that didn’t matter at all. In the end it all came down to love and health. She went from a busy, overwhelmed advertising director to spending 2-3 hours every morning taking care of herself, loving her work, and being present and engaged with the people she loves. Her family changed, too. They moved from wanting bigger closets, nicer furniture, and more stuff to downsizing into a 750 sq. ft apartment with no storage. Courtney has written books, courses, and hundreds of articles to help you simplify your life and work so you can focus on what really matters.

0:36.3	I love sitting still, doing less, and finding ways to just be more with less.
0:41.9	I've been practicing this for years and sometimes I forget that slowing down takes work and practice.
0:48.1	We will continue that practice together moving forward, but I recently recognized that sometimes
0:53.4	doing is essential and occasionally busyness can be a well-deserved distraction, especially when
0:59.6	you are really sad. I get down like everyone else, but it's rare that I'm really sad.
