There is a saying “being busy isn’t a badge of honour” and that’s so true. Would you rather fulfil tasks that mean something rather than constantly chasing the idea of being productive for the heck of it? Goal chasing, chaos and being busy keeps us from actually sitting down and feeling. Why are we so afraid of that?
Have you ever noticed that you seem happier when you tick off your daily goals, life seems a little more content? Why is it that we determine our self worth according to the productivity we exhibit on a daily basis?
The brain releases endorphins when we complete our tasks hence being productive makes us feel like we have accomplished something but did you realise that subconsciously you have started associating your self worth with productivity?
As a human, we are so much deeper than that. The fact that the idea of “hustling” 24/7 is ingrained in our heads due to society is quite harmful. There is no shame in working hard towards your goals but as humans, we are allowed to rest and that will not lessen our self worth or determine it.
Know that you are smart enough, good enough and never let these things define you.
Until next time.
