Hi, my name's Nicole and I'm a busy-aholic. Busy is an addiction that can mask itself as success.
Some days I run my day. Other days my day runs me. I can usually tell by how I answer my husband when he asks me how my day was. Can I really think of what I did? How I moved the needle? Or does it just seem like a blur?
I actually sometimes get this anxiety of sorts when I'm not busy. Am I forgetting something? Was I supposed to be somewhere? I've got time, what am I checking off of my to-do list next?
Guidepost 8 in the Gifts of Imperfection is cultivating calm and stillness. I'm going to try to instill this practice throughout my day by taking a breath before responding or jumping into anything. To build a practice of adding quiet into my life.
I'm hoping it will help things to get clearer. Allow the stuff that doesn't hold true meaning into my life to fall away. And with that clarity for any busy or anxiety addictions I'm harbouring to lose their hold as well.
