Ever thought that you’re too busy?
Let’s have a look at this and change a bit your perspective around it!
Let’s dive right in!!
Why do we say we are busy?
Usually, if you say that “you’re busy”, people understand what you mean and value it!
It means that you’re doing lots of things which is the opposite of being lazy and not doing anything at home!
So, you get kind of a “medal of honor” for being busy.
It’s something that is valued in our society as I said, because it goes with the idea that you’re “doing something with your life, you’re ambitious!”
Of course, there is never a problem with any thought we think, until we believe it’s a problem!
So, first of all, check with yourself how you feel when you think “I’m really busy”.
If you feel good thinking this thought, no need to change anything!
Let’s see what thinking this thought creates for us…
Doing many things = it’s a good thing!
Again, doing many things sounds like we’re doing a good thing, that we keep ourselves busy and we’re doing something with our life.
Let’s shake things up a little bit and look at different ways to look at “being busy!”
Do you like being busy? What’s your definition of being busy?
If you would not be busy, what would you be?
What is the opposite of being busy?
What life would you live if you weren’t busy?
Is there a way you can be very active (and not a couch potato) without being busy?
Non-busy people are lazy people?
What is coming up for you when I’m asking all of these questions?
As you can see, always, it’s not what we are thinking that matters but what we make it mean.
What do you mean by “you’re busy”? Again, is it that you have your life in your control?
These questions are just to raise awareness around something I hear a lot and that people say and think a lot and you know me, I like to see what’s under it and why we do what we do…
Why?
So that if we don’t like the results we have (living a busy life?), we can change it if we want to!
An alternative to business…
When people tell me they are really busy, I try to read between the lines as to how that thought makes them feel.
If they feel proud and it’s something they like, I think: Keep believing this thought!!
But let’s question it if you don’t feel THE BEST when you think that you’re super busy…
After asking myself all of these questions about business, I have to say that I came to the conclusion that… People who learn how to get organized, they aren’t busy.
I’m bringing you a different perspective here, of course and as always, take the best and leave the rest!
The easiest way to imagine it is to ask yourself, if you look at last week, how would you relive it MINUS feeling busy? Knowing that thinking you’re busy is optional?
And then, the question would be, what do you prioritize? Because sometimes, people are busy because they do all the things!!
But was is essential in your opinion?
Thinking of last week, if you would relive it, what would you do again and what wouldn’t you?
In summary…
I like it when people say that they are busy like they are reporting the news, that it’s a fact.
As you saw today, it’s never a fact, a circumstance, it’s always something that we choose to think!
At first, you don’t really choose to think it but when you start being more conscious of what you’re thinking, you realize if it’s serving you or not.
So, check in with yourself.
If you like being busy and thinking this thought makes you feel good, by all means, keep it!
But if you don’t feel good when you think it, question its veracity… And think of a way to live that you would do whatever you want MINUS feeling busy.
And what do YOU think about this idea of thinking for yourself that you’re never ever going to be busy again?
How could you create this for yourself and what would be the impact for you and for yourself?
