No one ever told me busy-ness is the antidote to a meaningful life‪.‬ No One Ever Told Me

Being busy is a mindset, not a state of being. More often than not, busy-ness means we aren’t being present in the in-between moments of our lives. Busy doesn’t mean fulfilled. It doesn’t mean important, purposeful, or productive. It means our lives are frenetic, lacking thoughtful contemplation and consideration of how we spend our time. And it can be difficult to actively avoid this tempo of modern life. No one ever told me it’s time to switch off.
