This group will be closing its doors on on June 30. While there is a lot of content that we keep putting out, we haven't (to be completely transparent) solved the puzzle of how to make this an engaged community. So, we decided to pause our activity here for now. There's always a slight chance we may reactivate it later. It's been a fantastic journey sharing personal development tips, experiences, and supporting each other's growth. We're incredibly grateful for the community we've built here, and would like to keep in touch with your on our social media channels: Here's what's next: - We'll be continuing the conversation on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hustlelesslivemore. There, you'll find inspiring content, challenges, and opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals. - Head over to our website where you'll find a treasure trove of articles, guides, and templates to fuel your personal development journey. While this group is closing (it may be re-opened in the future!), the learning and growth never have to stop! We look forward to seeing you continue your path on our social media platforms and website. As for the Hustle Less & Live More team, we're busily preparing our upcoming workshop for high-potential managers & executives at Salesforce. In the meantime, feel free to share your favorite memories or well wishes for the future in the comments below!

Looking for a way to boost your mental well-being? Art therapy might be the answer. It's a form of therapy that utilizes creative expression through art materials to explore emotions and experiences that can be difficult to communicate with words. Art therapy is a safe and supportive space for individuals of all ages and artistic abilities. Recent studies have shown promising results for art therapy's effectiveness. A study published in Cureus found that cancer patients who participated in guided art therapy sessions experienced a decrease in negative emotions and a rise in positive emotions, highlighting the potential for art therapy to improve psychological well-being [insert reference to the study here, e.g., "A literature review on art therapy...Cureus"]. Art therapy can be a powerful tool for managing stress, anxiety, and depression, fostering self-esteem, and promoting emotional resilience. If you're interested in exploring art therapy, consider reaching out to a certified art therapist. They can help you tap into your creativity and unlock the healing potential of art.

Yes, I am telling you to do nothing. Well, just eat nothing. Already decades ago, the Russians were among the first to conduct studies of the effect of fasting. And, what they found was astonishing: - Cancer cells decreased in 100% of the cases - The effect of chemotherapy got reduced when fasting 24h before - Anti-aging effects - Better digestion - Weight loss - More energy - ...the list goes on. There are various ways to fast: 1. Intermittent (16-18h) 2. 24-72h 3. Multiple days up to 2 weeks (some go longer) If you'd like to go on a multiple day fast, it may even be best to do that in an environment with additional support. E.g. there are fasting clinics or retreats that help you deal with whatever comes up but also enable you to persist longer and really follow through with your goal. I haven't yet made it beyond 24h. What's the longest you have fastest?

Yes, massages. We all know about them but take too little advantage of this amazing tool. While a general Google Search says that there are 7 types of massages: Swedish, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Aromatherapy, Thai, and Sports, many therapists may tell you that there are probably numerous more. Massages don't just help you relax, but they are a great tool to remind us to 'feel' our body again. They can help you: - Detox - Destress - Relax - Release tension - Reduce pain Often times, they are best enjoyed in the evening times without any commitments afterward and plenty of room for you to just relax and maybe even go to sleep not too long after. Ideally, you shouldn't eat anything within 90 minutes prior to the start of your massage in order to have a better effect. If you're not sure which massage type to go for, just ask your doctor or go with your intuition. My next one will be a lymphatic drainage massage. Which one will be your next one? If you don't have one scheduled, take this post as a sign, go ahead and schedule one, and tell us when it will be!

Known for thousands of years with many ancient tribes, it only emerged 'again' in modern times in the US in the 1960's. Shaw-Metz's (2023: "Coming up for air: Breathwork practice for stress management in the healthcare setting") description of breathwork is on point: "Breathing techniques, or breathwork, is a complementary modality that encourages controlled intentional breathing designed to interrupt the cycle of stress and promote the relaxation response. Breathwork is a safe, practical, and easily accessible modality for use in any healthcare setting, daily practice, or during a sudden onset of acute psychological distress." While you can do breathwork at home, the effects are typically accelerated when doing it in a group setting. Simply look for 'breathwork session near me' in Google, and you'll probably find some providers. Ideally, there is at least one facilitator in addition to the person leading the session (typically groups of 10 or more). Let us know: have you done breathwork before? What came up for you when you did it?
