Are You Busy Being Busy?

 

There are many reasons why we may be busy all of the time. Busy is much different than being productive.

Are we intentionally “busy” in order to feel or prove something, or distract ourselves from something?

Is it “I am busy, therefore I am worthy?” Remember, you are already worthy. You don’t need to prove your worth to anybody. The truth is that people are living their own lives, and thinking about their own path and responsibilities. Their focus is not on us. Although they may be interested, they don’t care to make what we are doing top of mind. Also, many times people sense when we are putting on a show of being busy, as an attempt to prove our worthiness.

If we are using being busy as a distraction to not have to feel something, then we need to get real about what is going on within us. We have to work through our pain, our emotions, and our discomfort. We can’t make it through to the other side without getting hurt a bit. Once we work through our pain, we can release what is bearing down on us. The painful moments and discomfort are part of the resolution. We can’t keep shoving down our feelings as they’ll inevitably keep coming up for us.

• Grab a journal.
• Sit with your thoughts.
• Allow things to come up, without the knee jerk reaction of pushing things down.
• Come to terms with the notion that things will hurt, embarrass or cause anger, and accept that it’s okay.
• Allow them to surface and show themselves.
• Then decide what can you edit out of your schedule.
• Once you have your list, keep referring back to it as a reminder.
• Make it a daily practice to recover.

And remember, you got this.
