Yes to this! 'Enough' is the cure for pretty much all the destructiveness we are experiencing now. Enough wouldn't fuel an economy built on more growth and more profit, enough wouldn't drive a labour force built on more "productivity" (let's firmly plant those speech marks where they belong!), or consumption, consumerism, fast fashion, or any booms, trends, fads etc you care to mention. I do wonder why we gave up on enough so easily though when it benefits all of us. More doesn't buy you more happiness, so I even include the miserly billionaires in that equation. We clearly can't deal with more. Why can't we deal with enough?

This is such a valid point. It also drives in another point that enough is subjective. What is enough for you, might be way more or way less for someone else. It’s important that you know when you’ve had enough, when you’ve done enough…and most importantly that you recognize YOU are enough.

Many years ago whilst in England, I learned about a lie down. At 3 p.m. My body is set for that event daily.
