You may be very busy in you career or personal life, but are you also creating extra busy-ness? Busyness is often tied to our sense of self-worth with the beliefs/stipulations: I’ll be happy when this is complete, I can rest later, or a feeling that rest equals laziness. If life feels too easy, it may trigger a feeling of inadequacy or waiting for something bad to happen. Constant, chronic busyness can also be a way our mind avoids certain things, a built in safety override, when we don’t have the capacity to be with the intensity of challenging thoughts, emotions, or feelings. Whether the busyness is real, perceived, or created, there is a feeling that you never have the time to rest or do what you want to do.
