13 Positive REMINDERS: Less Hustle, More Being

Modified: May 23, 2025 · Published: Jan 7, 2018

one of the positive reminders: less doing, more being

Sometimes what we need isn’t a big resolution or a five-year plan, just a few gentle nudges in the right direction. This year, instead of making a long list of goals, I’m turning to positive reminders. Here are the 13 reminders that speak to my heart — maybe they’ll speak to yours, too.

Do you make New Year’s resolutions?

I usually do (guilty!), and honestly, I kind of love them. But this year, I’m trying something different.

No pressure-filled goals. No rigid intentions. Just a handful of gentle reminders to guide me through the year—positive reminders that help me feel a little more grounded, a little more me.

I plan on writing them down on a piece of paper and stuck it somewhere I’ll see every day. (pinboard above my desk = high visibility)

If I had to pick just one to carry with me into this new chapter, it would be this: Do less. Be more. That’s the one that makes me exhale.

13 Positive Reminders to Live Gently

So here they are. 13 little reminders I want to keep close this year. Maybe one will speak to you, too.


Do less. BE more.

LOVE everything you do. Do everything with love.

ENJOY the PROCESS. The results will come.

Take CARE of yourself. Really, truly.

MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY first. It’s not selfish, it’s foundational

ATTITUDE is everything.

Trade expectation with APPRECIATION.

BE GRATEFUL. For the big stuff and the tiny, perfect moments.

If it FEELS RIGHT it’s MEANT TO BE. Let go of the rest.

Trust your gut. Your INTUITION knows things.

LIFE is a GAME. So play (and have fun).

Welcome MIRACLES.

BELIEVE.

And speaking of miracles, I’ll leave you with this beautiful poem by the German poet Hilde Domin. I come back to it often; it’s quiet but full of light.

Not to become tired
but to hold out your hand
to the miracle
gently, as though to a bird.

Hilde Domin

Do you have any fave positive reminders and affirmations? Tell me, I'd love to know.
