Are You Busy, Anxious, Worn Out, or Stressed Out?
Most of us are constantly caught up in an avalanche of busyness. We say yes to too many things; demands from our jobs and family life seem to swallow up whatever “free time” there might have been otherwise; we multitask, with 7 different things going all at the same time (although there’s really no such thing when it comes to tasks that require concentration, so it’s more like switch-tasking, which further dilutes our efforts).
We’re overscheduled, busy, anxious, worn out, stressed out, and sometimes downright miserable…
…and yet we don’t do anything to change it. Sometimes we half-heartedly attempt to, or listen to podcasts and read books about it…and then resume our hectic lifestyle thinking that “someday” we’ll slow down.
When we’re not busy, we feel guilty, like we’re wasting time and should be doing something more productive.
We’re addicted to work, to tasks, to doing…swallowed up in the avalanche.
