When you are asked “How are you doing?” how many times does your reply contain the word “busy”?

What does “busy” really mean?

What are we usually using it for?

This is my experience which I would like to share with you.

1. What we often think it means:
I have an important job.
I have an exhausting boss.
I am a successful businessman.
I love my job or business.
I have a great social life.
This is a difficult period in my life.

2. What is very often the hidden truth:
I am a workaholic because at least I feel successful in that part of my life and it balances the other parts.
I am working too much because I do not want to deal with my feelings.
I am constantly working because I am postponing to take important decisions in my life.
I have to work a lot, because I need more certificates, a better position, to finally feel good enough.
I have to hustle, because I do not feel worthy or/and wealthy enough to enjoy life. So I keep on postponing it.
I am not able to say “no” to my colleagues, friends or family members, so I let them plan my days.
I am always taking care of others, in order to not having to deal with my own life and emotions.
I am not able to ask for help, because I consider it as a weakness. Doing everything alone takes all my time.
You are not my priority.
It makes me look important and useful.

Let’s be honest:
❓Which kind of BUSY are you most of the time❓

Good news is: no matter which answer is true for you, you always have a choice to change that.
