Ahhh the word 'BUSY'... I'm trying to take it out of my vocabulary. If we look at the way we think and if I'm thinking "I'm always busy" then I will be. Instead I'm saying "business is good, there is a steady flow of work" because I want a steady flow, I don't want to be busy.
For some reason, busy has become the norm and it's not healthy for us - we can lie in bed all day and read (who said we couldn't?) or we can sit in our garden and paint, then meditate and then listen to music (who said we have to be "doing something" while we listen to music? we can just sit and listen).
I think we can all get caught up in the unimportant stuff... it's not until we ask the question - what is important to me? to my partner? to my family? do we really know how to differentiate the important and unimportant stuff.
Great post and great food for thought. Thanks.
