Creating a More Spacious Life

Find more ease and freedom by recognizing what you can control

The real freedom you crave isn’t in rearranging your life, it’s in changing how you experience life.Monkey Business Images/Shutterstock

I’ve worked with a number of people who want more spaciousness in their lives—more time for rest, play, reading, reflecting, self-care, and hanging out with friends and other loved ones.

The challenge isn’t that it’s hard to create more time (although, for some people, it’s actually very hard). The challenge is that no matter how much time we have, we aren’t likely to experience it as spacious, restful, joyful, or playful.
