"I'm Busy" is a Lie We Tell Ourselves
We've all been there. We've been invited to something and we really don't want to go. But instead of just saying no, we say we're busy. busy seems to be the catch-all excuse in our culture. There is a difference between being busy and not being able to just say no thank you to an invitation. busy is a lack of priorities in your life.
Let's face it, we are all pretty much back to max capacity in our lives. And now we've reverted back to saying "I'm busy" rather than keeping the priorities we had during the pandemic.
We're all busy, right? And we only have so much time to get things done. So, when we say we're busy, what we're really saying is that this thing isn't a priority for us. It's not that we don't have time, it's that we don't want to make time.
It's easy to convince ourselves that we're too busy for something and then use that as an excuse not to do it. It seems like every day there are more things to do and less time to do them. You feel overwhelmed and anxious like you're always behind schedule.
Busy is a lie we tell ourselves. And it's a harmful one at that. When we buy into the idea of being busy, we put unnecessary stress on ourselves. We forget that taking a break or spending time with loved ones is just as important as checking off items on our to-do list.
Busyness doesn't make us productive, it makes us stressed and unhappy. The truth is, you can get more done when you take the time to relax and rejuvenate.
Saying no is hard. It's easier to just make up an excuse and busy seems to be the go-to. Busy is just a lie we tell ourselves. It's a way to avoid saying no and it's a way to avoid confrontation. We need to learn to just say no and set boundaries in our lives. Otherwise, we'll always be busy and we'll never have the time for what truly matters.
