How often do you pack your schedule ridiculously full — keeping yourself going to the point of burnout — rather than just sit with your thoughts and learn what it is that you actually enjoy? Do you know that we often fill our schedules to avoid confronting our fears and insecurities?
In this episode of Get It Together, Weirdo, Sarah explores our societal obsession with busyness and its impact on our well-being.
As an antidote to burnout and dissatisfaction, Sarah encourages us to slow down, embrace stillness, and redefine productivity to align with our own values and happiness. By experimenting with new perspectives, challenging conventional notions of success, and cultivating self-acceptance, we can live more authentically and find joy in unexpected places.
What you’ll learn in this episode
- How we use busyness as a distraction from our fears and insecurities.
- The negative impacts of over-scheduling, including burnout and lack of fulfillment.
- How to redefine productivity and success beyond societal expectations.
- Practical advice for discovering unexpected sources of joy and fulfillment, like trying new activities, reevaluating daily routines, and letting go of perfectionism.
Noteworthy quotes from this episode
“In a world where busyness is celebrated like some sort of twisted badge of honor, it's time to take a step back.”
“We use busyness as a shield, a way to avoid dealing with our insecurities and our self-doubt. So let's unpack this a bit. We feel anxious about not doing enough, about not being enough. And then we feel guilty because we can't keep up with everything we've piled onto our plates.”
“When we embrace our true selves without judgment or shame, we open up so many possibilities for growth and happiness. Try experimenting with new perspectives, pick up a new hobby just for fun, or explore a different way of thinking about something.”
