Do you ever catch yourself saying, "I'm too busy"? It's a phrase we've all used at some point, often when we don’t want to do something or when we are putting off doing something. But is the notion of being "too busy" more of a mindset than a reality?
From demanding work schedules to personal commitments and all the other distractions vying for your attention, it's easy to believe that there's simply not enough time in the day. But here's the thing - it’s not that there isn’t enough time, it's how you manage it that makes a difference.
So how do you break free from the "too busy" trap and carve out space for the things that truly matter, like finding fulfilment?
It starts with a shift in perspective, seeing time as a precious resource and shifting your focus from trying to do more and instead look at prioritising your time into quality over quantity. Realising that you are just as important and deserving of time and not giving it all away to everyone or everything else.
Identify what brings you joy and fulfilment and prioritize those activities in your schedule just like you would a meeting at work. Finding time for your fulfilment isn't a luxury, it's essential for your overall well-being.
So, are you experiencing feelings of dissatisfaction, emptiness and unhappiness?
If you can identify with one or more of these feelings and you’re still ignoring them you aren’t prioritising yourself. Not booking out time for doing or creating things in your life that will bring fulfilment, not only will it affect the quality of your life you run the risk of total burnout.
So, the next time you catch yourself saying, "I'm too busy," pause and ask yourself: Am I truly too busy, or am I simply not prioritizing what truly matters?
Remember, time is a gift, it will run out for all of us at some point, so make it your priority to spend it wisely. Living a beautifully purposeful and fulfilled life isn’t that worth spending time on?
