#beingbusy

The village farmer who tills his land and sells his produce, the village shoe-maker who makes shoes to order, the various kinds of shops in market; in the rural and urban areas, the restaurants that cater to the needs of different classes of population, the banks, insurance companies, transporters, cold storage companies, PVRs, beauty parlors, boutiques , malls are some example of Business firms familiar to us.

This is what being busy looks like. 🤯 No space. No margins in life. It's not glamorous. It's time to delete some old belief systems around being busy. ❌being busy does not mean success ❌being busy does not mean happy ❌being busy does not make one more worthy I have found the times I am busiest is the times I am the most stressed. For me, being busy has served many functions. - to distract myself when I'm upset or disturbed - to avoid emotional pain - to make myself feel enough Many of us have realized (because of the pandemic and being forced to slow down), just how much we were pushing ourselves. I know for myself. I hate being busy now. Yet the habit of piling things on is still there. I am working on it. I have to be aware of it. And when I'm triggered I notice I get into workaholic tendencies... then I know I have to pull back. Because when I'm busy, to be brutally honest. I don't enjoy life. I don't get the time to really engage with people, I rush through projects, I even forget what I did that day... So I have learned: - do less - fit less in a day -make space for the spontaneous - say no, if it's not a hell ya - simplify - Prioritize - take down time - make space for pleasure What have you found helpful to create more space in your life for the things that nourish you? 💗 🎨 art by me Acrylic 2022 #artist #artistofinstagram #thoughtfortheday #thoughtfulartist #socialcommentary #thinkingaboutlife #beingtoobusy #beingbusy #addictiontobusy #simplify #simplifyyourlife #doless #createspace #slowingdown #lifeisbetterslow (at Courtenay, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZXn312vrzp/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you are too busy to develop your talents, you are too busy. #repost @successpictures Feeling the need to be busy all the time is a trauma response and fear-based distraction from what you'd be forced to acknowledge and feel if you slowed down. #busynesskills You think that God will understand that you're a busy man? #busyness It's easy to get lost chasing more without considering what we really want. #beingbusy If you don't have time to pray, then you're busier than God intended for you to be. #busy You're always "too something" to someone. Be "too good" for it to matter. #beingtoobusy Mediocrity creeps up on us when we're too busy, too arrogant or too comfortable, to keep learning, growing, and improving. #makingtime God is never too busy to listen. Don't be too busy to talk to Him. #maketime Don't confuse activity with productivity. Many people are simply busy being busy. #donthavetime Being busy means doing stuff. Being productive means getting stuff done. #nothavingtime If we want to hear God speak, we've got to learn to listen. #nothavingthetime If Satan can't make you bad, he'll make you busy. #dontbetoobusy You'll turn out ordinary if you're not careful. #notime "I am too busy." That's the adult version of, "My dog ate my homework." #busybody "Too busy" is a myth. People make time for the things that are really important to them. #toobusytodevelop Nobody is too busy. It's just a matter of priorities. #toobusytoimproveyourself I'm too busy is not an explanation, it's an excuse. #youarenottoobusy Busy is a drug that a lot of people are addicted to. #toobusyforgod Champions are rare. Everybody has some chance, some opportunity to change and improve but not everybody takes advantage. Be somebody who does. #beingtoobusyforgod A lot of the best work I've ever done started out as something completely different, because I gave myself permission to have space around my time and expectations. #improvingyourself It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about? #mediocrity We cannot embrace God's forgiveness if we are so busy clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges. #keepimproving (at Mount Juliet, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0mBc1eFTf3/?igshid=1t6nxothvpsmm

If someone tells me they're busy for me it's equal to telling me that they don't want to talk with me. Being busy isn't a reason to cut off. If you want something- you find a way, if you don't- you find an excuse.

But I've officially been bored for the first time in 20 years. It was nice to relax for a while but that's just not my nature. So I'm *relatively* busy again and I love it!! But please don't not call me, because I'll probably make time for you.

Business as Usual
