Have you ever found yourself buried under a pile of things you've convinced yourself you need?

Seneca's wisdom urges us to reassess our so-called necessities. Think about the last time you couldn't use your phone for a day, or you skipped that daily coffee purchase. Did the earth stop spinning? Hardly.

We clutter our lives with habits and material objects, often mistaking accessibility for necessity. When these are stripped away, we're faced with a surprising revelation: we can not only survive but sometimes even thrive without them.

Applying this idea to your daily life is as simple as it is enlightening. Start small; choose one thing you believe you cannot live without and take a break from it. This break will challenge you, no doubt, but within this challenge lies the potential for growth.

It forces you to flex your adaptability muscles and often reveals simpler, more creative ways to live. The space it creates—both physically and mentally—can be filled with experiences, relationships, and activities that nurture your soul, rather than just your comfort zone.

So, what's one thing you could go without, starting today?
