SLOWING DOWN

There are some periods in our life that are unavoidably busy. We have an impending deadline, or a flurry of events we've committed to one after another, or it's school holiday time and we're trying to meet the needs of our children and work – all at the same time. Things tend to come in waves. But what happens when a wave subsides and we're left with not as much to do?

Many people tell me that they feel restless or lazy as soon as they're not doing anything productive. This can feel heightened off the back of an exceptionally busy period. You might notice this particularly when you go on holiday. Even though you may think to yourself, “I'm just", you inevitably fill your days with activities because, well, you're on holiday and it doesn’t happen very often so you better make the most of it! We can fall into the habit of perpetual ‘' just because we feel more comfortable being busy. But do you truly have so much to do or are you just caught up in the rush?
