What is One Less. One More.?
Welcome to One Less. One More., a newsletter dedicated to the transformative power of daily choices that uplift our lives and enhance our well-being. Here, we pursue happiness, peace, and success through the ancient, irrefutable, incredibly simple seven steps to a lifetime of happiness.
My name is Robbie Vorhaus, and I am your host. I am a teacher, speaker, and author, but mostly a student of the illusive nature of happiness and well-being. I may not have the answers, but I sure have many questions.
Throughout my life and counseling hundreds, possibly thousands of people, I’ve discovered seven irrefutable steps to living a happier, more productive life.
One Less. One More. is a journey of intentional awareness and personal growth by practicing just seven things:
Consciously choosing to be happy.
Decrease and resist negativity.
Increase and allow positivity.
Consistently practice choosing happiness, preferably daily.
Connect with others.
Practice gratitude.
Reflect and adapt.
This practice can be distilled further to our title, One Less. One More.
The "One Less” is the daily shedding of negative aspects—habits, thought patterns, and behaviors—that no longer serve us, bring us joy, or align with our best interests. Through this process, we create valuable space for positive personal development and abundant growth.
And the “One More” is simultaneously choosing to consciously add one positive element to our daily routine — an empowering habit, invigorating activity, or transformative mindset— that ignites inspiration, fulfillment, and heartfelt joy.
By infusing our lives with these uplifting experiences, we awaken a profound sense of happiness and purpose that resonates throughout our entire being.
Rooted in timeless wisdom, One Less. One More. follows the age-old principle that consistent, conscious, small changes are key to cultivating a life that aligns with our deepest desires and brings us ever closer to profound fulfillment. We believe in the immense significance of self-awareness, mindful choices, and deliberate actions as they shape a meaningful and joyous existence, ultimately leading us to experience true happiness.
Join us on this path, where each day offers opportunities to let go of what no longer serves us and embrace what inspires and fulfills us. Together, we'll unlock our extraordinary potential and create a life that flourishes with purpose, joy, and unwavering contentment.
Count on guest posts, interviews with global leaders, personal insights, case histories, book reviews, inspirational recommendations, Q&As, and more.
