thank you for this post and this reminder. It’s SO easy to get caught up in our own lives.. being busy.. doing what needs to be done and forgetting about our other part of our life. Thank you<3

Wow! This spoke to me so so much. I always feel like I have to be doing something. And if I am not I feel lazy and unproductive. Thanks for much for sharing this. It really opened my eyes! Hope all is going well with you and being “busy”

Definitely guilty of this and need to work on it more! I LOVE all the quotes, because they are so TRUE…I also agree that if you aren’t connected with the universe, than what are you really connected too…Great post!

I could have written this post myself. I especially relate to, “I think (sometimes) being “busy” is my defense mechanism for being afraid of what happens if I’m NOT busy.” but also LIKING being busy. You’re right that it can be good and bad and finding a balance between them is important. To me, I focus on my intentions. Am I intentionally choosing tasks or am I just doing them because I feel like I should?

Hi my name is Cat and I’m a busy-o-holic. Seriously there should be a support group! I think this might be it?! Great post and great reminder that it’s OK not to be busy – as much as I love it, and naturally lean towards the must-fill-every-second mentality, I do think there is so much value in slowing down and doing less

Yes. This. You spoke of it when we hung out but reading it more in depth now- and honestly, something I can relate to. As much as we love something (whether it be blogging, dancing, twerking or exercise), it’s always important to step back and think of the bigger picture if that suddenly becomes overwhelming- and as you said to me, be selfish- we deserve it.

I want that curried cauliflower couscous salad please.

wow I looove this!! It’s SUCH an eye opening moment when you stop and ask yourself why you’re feeling the need to be so busy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts <3 <3

“I was once vegan, and now I’m all about balance.”
What a provocative statement, implying that if one is vegan one is not balanced. Seductively confusing the origin of your troubles. I find this divisive, judgemental and if one reads your story, simply inaccurate.

I suggest you write …”I once had orthorexia nervosa, and now I am all abot balance”, but the word VEGAN sells, doesn’t it?

Rose, definitely not vegan

i love your honesty here. Just found your blog through Fit Foodie Finds. I was busy at one point of my life(early 20s) because I didn’t know how to say no(I thought Christians always have to say yes to everything). After that I decided to never be too busy again. I wanted to be free in case someone needs help or a friend. I also read a book “Becoming Real” where the author talked about people always saying to him “So how are you? Staying busy?”. He realized that we don’t need to bu always busy to be happy so he started telling people “Trying not to be busy”. I think many times busyness allows us to avoid the deeper questions in our mind like “Why am I here? What’s my purpose? and Is there a God?” Hope you figure out what’s best for you!

I actually just wrote a post today focusing on some of the same stuff! It’s easy to get caught up in “busy” without taking a step back to figure out what it is we’re doing. Without focused goals we can try too hard with everything and just wind up with nothing, or at least nothing we really want! I personally need to take a step back and evaluate how I spend my time and energy and focus attention to where it matters most.
