Really Busy? Maybe Not...

If you are like me, your plate feels full. There a big things to take care of, and the tiny details that follow. Between seeking information, implementing changes, taking care of clients and developing a strong brand, we don't have a lot of time in our hands. Or do we? I found the article segment below and it filled me with valid questions about my state of busy-ness:

"Am I Really Busy or Does It Just Feel This Way?

Most of us judge how busy we are by how much we have to do. When there are too many things to do, we think we're busy, and when there isn't much to do, it feels like we're not busy at all. But in fact, we can feel busy when there isn't that much to do, and we can feel relaxed even when there's a lot going on. The states of "busy" and "not busy" aren't defined by how many things there are to do.
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no such thing as multitasking; the brain can tend to only one thing at a time. Being too busy or not being busy is an interpretation of our activity. Busy-ness is a state of mind, not a fact. No matter how much or how little we're doing, we're always just doing what we're doing, simply living this one moment of our lives. –

Learning to balance our mindsets to allow us to still enjoy life will fill us with more joy, no matter how busy we think we are or seem. How long is your to-do list? How relaxed are you during down-time? Do you even feel like you have down time?
 
Don't convince yourself that you are important because of what you have chosen to do. Life still needs you to simply BE. Know when to release and let go, and when to be on!
 
Remember, we only have this moment. Stay present and clear.
 
Here and Now,
