When Being Busy Started Costing Me More Than It Gave

in FreeCompliments7 hours ago

Our life is filled with a lot of things that we have to think about constantly and the amount of things that we are involved in definitely does not let us take a little bit of break as well and because of the competition that we have around us we don't even think about taking a break or even slowing down because most of the times when we even get a thought of that we feel like knowing down would be a very good ingredient for our failure and that is why we try to avoid it at all times.

This is something that has got involved in our mind set quite a lot that if we are going to slow down at any given point of time we are going to lose out on a lot of opportunities and it is going to be a reason that someone else goes ahead of us which is something that we are going to try and avoid all the time and all of this causes a lot of pressure on us which is very much visible and also has a lot of effects.

But there is a point in everyone's life when they start to realise that slowing down is definitely very necessary and we can't be moving all the time at the rapid pace that we think is going to be the adequate thing to be done and when it was my turn it was not something that I choose myself or understood because of a particular thing that happened naturally but it was kind of a thing that I got forced into because of burnout.

The concentration of performing and never backing down from anything that I was involved in definitely put a lot of pressure on me but that is the mind set that we all have today in the modern world and that is something that we try to implement in every single thing that we are involved in which is done to maximize are productivity and things like taking on a lot of extra pressure and exhaustion was something that got very much normalised.

There was one particular day when my body and mine was not ready to accept anything else and can't take anymore of it which is win I had to forcefully take a break from everything else and at that point of time I actually realise the fact that how tired I actually was and the amount of pressure that I was forcefully putting on myself which is actually not giving me enough returns but at the same time it is costing me quite a lot.

Peace is one of the most valuable resources in our life, and slowing down is going to help us achieve that to a very big extent, which is something that we need to realise and not slowing down while pushing ahead for all of these things is actually not letting us achieve it, which is one it is a particular that we need to actually overcome. Right from our childhood, we have always been told that we should always try to stay busy in something or the other because we are going to keep making progress and utilising time to the best possible way, which has been taken in a very wrong manner, and has become the motivation to overwork.

One of the biggest things that we need to actually realise is going to be about the fact that rest is never going to be the opposite of growth because in reality it is actually a much needed aspect in our life as well because it gives us the much needed opportunity to think in a better way and also with a clear mind which we could not have done without getting that clear space because of the type schedule that we are involved in.

Another strange thing that happened with me after I started to Slow Down was going to be by the fan that I suddenly started to feel that time was something that became a lot more manageable because when it was the time to rush everything will time it used to look like that there is no time and time is going by very quickly but when I started to look at things more slowly and try to do things calmly suddenly time started to become a lot more manageable and I could stretch my tasks in the better manner.

Productivity is something that we try to maximize by trying to do everything quickly and also in a rapid way but in reality the thing that we should be focusing on instead is going to be the quality of work which we are doing rather than getting things done at the faster page because ultimately it is going to be the way we are doing it which is going to matter the most and that is something that I also realised while slowing down.

There are many such instances in my life when I still get the age to speed up things again but it is something that definitely does not feel comfortable anymore once that I have tested how slowly everything can be done in a much better way and the amount of benefits that it has to offer and it is a very nice Life lesson that I have learnt which I still go by and believe in every single day.
