Stop being busy and wear it as a badge of honor.
Think about how busy we are. Being busy came to be something to boast. I am so busy. I can’t calm down. I’m in an endless rush.
We’re living in an era of mass distraction. Every minute we are engaged in something. No wonder our stress levels are sky-high. More people are familiar with burnout.
It’s is a crazy game. Busy is noise. Massive distractions. Lots of unimportant things instead of focus.
Stop being busy. Just stop. It is possible to pause now.
Once you decided to slow down, your schedule clears up. Your to-do list shrinks up to practically nothing. It’s a great perspective, right?
How can you calm down? Just say that you are not going to be busy anymore. Even if your days are packed, you can still slow down. Control your schedule, and focus on the most significant tasks.
”The gentle overcomes the rigid. The slow overcomes the fast. The weak overcomes the strong. “
“Everyone knows that the yielding overcomes the stiff, and the soft overcomes the hard. Yet no one applies this knowledge.’
~ Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
