Yes, you can train yourself to be less busy and dramatically improve your life! 😀 [Video]

I’ve got a confession to make, two actually. And if you’ve also ever felt like your life was just too busy and complicated, then this is probably going to sound familiar.

First confession. I used to agree to do way too many things that I didn’t really want to do, and I would say YES too quickly without really thinking about it. Go on that camping trip that I really don’t want to. I’ll see you tomorrow! Spend my weekend helping you move. Even though we just met. You got it buddy! Make sure that I’m putting the new cover sheets on my TPS reports. Yes sir, Mr Lumbergh!

Next confession. The little time I did have left over after trying to please everybody else often got wasted on things that didn’t even really matter to me. Busywork, unimportant tasks, projects, meetings, time wasters like compulsively checking email or social media, and spending a surprisingly large amount of time trying to come up with creative ways to get out of all the commitments and promises I probably shouldn’t have made in the first place.

But you know what? I’ve learned my lesson. I’ve started saying NO more often and prioritizing my own happiness and well-being. And let me tell you, it feels amazing. So if you’re feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin, take it from me and start saying NO. Trust me, your future self will thank you. #selfcare #priorities #learningthehardway #shorts
