How would your life be different if you cared less?

Now don’t confuse caring less, for being careless. These are two entirely different things.

Caring less is more about what others think of you, and even in some cases, some of the thoughts you have about yourself.

Caring less about everything else going on around you allows you to focus on what you believe to be important. Caring less helps you shut out all the noise and shine a light on what you want to prioritize.

Caring less helps you avoid the perfection trap. When deep down you know you’re doing or have done your best work, then caring or worrying less about the outcome allows you to be more creative and put more of yourself into your work.

Caring less has nothing to do with compassion or empathy for others; in fact, I would strongly argue that caring less gives you more compassion for yourself. Caring less what others think about you gives you the freedom to be more of who you really are; it allows you to be the most genuine version of you.

Caring less about what’s next also allows you to focus on the present, to really pay attention to what’s in front of you right now.

Caring less does not make you carefree, but it can alleviate some of the pressures and stresses of daily life.

Caring less can almost be thought of like a secret superpower. Just imagine all the things you could do and say, if you just cared a little less. But like any other superpower, caring less should not be abused.

So go out today and care just a little less than usual and experience how much more you’re willing to try, and reveal more of the real you. If you find that caring less doesn’t work for you, you can always go back to caring more.
