Are you busy as a beaver?
Flip the script!
Being busy connotes productivity. Building something. Working hard. Being accountable. Being true to your skills. Making good use of every day (and night).
In our fast-paced 24/7 world, however, being too busy can mean burnout, missing family and friends, skipping the good life, or just being terminally exhausted.
Spin this around and stay busy…
🐿️ connecting with friends for coffee, lunch or a walk
🐿️ creating art, music, stories and poetry
🐿️ collaborating with colleagues to lift others up
🐿️ consuming nourishing food with good company
🐿️ caring for your soul
You will never regret that you did.
