Undoing the Obsession with Doing
Manage episode 375448761 series 3341007
In their latest episode, Gareth and Kim tackle the issue of societal obsession with busyness, looking at how our need to be busy can distance us from our authentic selves and others. They reflect on how acceptable it is to be very busy, and how it often wins external approval. Yet they outline how, in reality, being constantly busy often serves as a defense mechanism against feelings of inadequacy or imposter syndrome. They bring to light how a busy life allows us to deflect from ever dealing with these types of uncomfortable emotions.
Gareth and Kim also look at busyness from a practical point of view, acknowledging that our lives will always have a certain level of busyness, but reflecting on the role of social media in amplifying this cycle of busyness and the comparison trap. They highlight the need to recognize these detrimental habits and discuss practical ways to achieve a healthier balance on a day-to-day basis.
They examine the impact of relentless activity on our relationships, our self-awareness, and our general level of contentment. Emphasizing that societal expectations can prevent us from fully engaging with our lives, they explore the emotional upsides of slowing down to enjoy the present moment, and the simpler things in life. As always, their eye-opening discussion generates an awareness of where this highly prevalent issue has originated, and they provide listeners with valuable advice for achieving a more balanced and fulfilling life in mind, body, emotions, and soul.
