“Become the best version of yourself” they say.

Today, it seems like simply living isn't enough anymore. We're constantly bombarded with the idea that we need to optimise our existence 24/7.

Wake up at 4 am, run for two hours, drink green juice, build your side hustle… the list goes on.

• Have a hobby? Monetise it.

• Watching a TV series? Make sure you're learning something.

• Rest? Only to recharge and be more efficient.

• Not pushing yourself every single day? You're failing.

• Chilling on a Sunday? Prepare for the guilt trip on Monday.

I'm not saying that doing healthy things is not good, I'm saying the pressure that comes with ticking all of the boxes might not be the best approach.

But let's pause for a moment. What does being the "best version of yourself" truly mean? Who decides this? What if we just lived and enjoyed every moment?

As a society, we've become obsessed with efficiency, productivity, and optimising our time. There are countless books and influencers promoting this message. But should our happiness and sense of fulfilment hinge solely on achievements and productivity?

The Art of Simply Being

It's so important to carve out time for things we love, yet the lines seem a bit blurry. I often find myself feeling guilty for watching a show without a learning purpose. I love savouring the small things, but my mind often questions, "Is this worth your time? How is this contributing to your future?" While questioning is good, sometimes it's perfectly okay to do something just for the joy of it—for entertainment, connection, or relaxation.

• It's okay to do nothing.

• It's okay to stop.

• It's okay to disconnect.

• It's okay to enjoy things for their own sake.

• It's okay to have intentions, not just goals.

• It’s ok to experiment without getting it perfect

Redefining Success In a world where success is often measured by numbers and bank balances, the pressure for more—more money, more time, more connections—can be overwhelming. Why not create a space where life is lived through a creative lens, driven by curiosity and experimentation rather than KPIs and OKRs?
