My busy badge.
Yolanda S.
A recruiter that is unorthodox in her approach to the recruiting world. A coach with the moto of 'Leaving you better than how I found you'.
I decided I am going to stop wearing this busy badge after listening to John Kehoe and how working hard is not what it is all cut out to be. John highlights the downside of it. The first downside is it does not give you quality of life and the second downside is that you do not get quality ideas. Like wow! Who would have thought? I sat up and put my hand up and I totally agree even before making that conscious decision.
It freaked me out as I decided I am going to be judged by my fellow human being but something has got to give. My health was waning away. My blood pressure is sky-high. I was overweight. I was snappy and anxious most of the time. I constantly felt under attack. What am I going to tell people now when they ask me how I am doing?! I still feel awkward when people ask how I am. I was hoping that people are so 'busy' that when I tell them my new story they will not even notice.
The collective consciousness is so hardcore that to unplug from it is hell. What made it so important to me was that I did not like what I was becoming. I have turned into an ogre and time was always of the essence. Running around like a headless chicken and having no time to properly connect with people let alone myself.

Conclusion
What does busy mean to you and have you felt the pressure of comparing yourself to others and feeling guilty? All I know is this. The more I say I am living life and have peace and tranquility, the more the Universe assists me in creating what I now know is good for my well-being.
Decide what is important for you and place your attention on your intention. Dream of that perfect life and believe that you are powerful enough to create it. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. You are a force to be reckoned with and creativity in your grasp.
Remember
The sky is no longer the limit. Go out there and spread your wings beautiful.

1 年Great piece and so relevant.! Thanks. If I may add, being "busy"could also be a person's coping mechanism or escape from another reality. This journey we call life, is complicated and not everyone is equipped well enough to see it (yet). Sometimes it may be that a person unconsciously create drama by being "busy" to avoid the challenge they face. Let us be kind to our-self and to those around us as we learn new ways. #selfawareness

1 年Thanks for the great piece Yolanda S. ! I have a question. Is great working smart with results. But how does one navigate in a corporate world where working hard is emphasised over working smart?
