Why your “hustle” is actually a hiding place. 🚩
We’ve been conditioned to believe that if we aren’t exhausted, we aren’t working hard enough. We wear “busy” like a badge of honor, but let’s be real for a second:
Constant movement is not the same as meaningful progress.
Most of the time, we stay busy to avoid the quiet questions:
• Am I actually happy, or just occupied?
• Am I moving toward my goals, or just running away from my fears?
• Who am I when I’m not “producing” something?
True growth doesn’t happen in the chaos. It happens in the gaps. It happens when you have the courage to say “no” to the good so you can say “yes” to the great.
If you’re feeling burnt out, it’s not because you’re doing too much. It’s because you’re doing too little of what actually lights you up.
Today, I want you to do one thing that has zero “productivity” value. Sit for five minutes without your phone. Walk without a podcast. Stare at a tree.
Reclaim your headspace.
If you’d like some free resources to help, just let me know and I’ll send them to you.
