Are you wearing “busy” as a badge of honour?

We all have the same amount of hours in a day, days in a week, weeks in a year, but it’s how we use these hours, that varies from person to person. Do you ever wonder how some people manage to fit so much into their days and achieve remarkable results?

We can't control the amount of time we have, but we can control what we do with it. Too often, we walk around declaring how busy we are, as if 'busy' is a badge of honour. But research shows that ‘chronic busyness’ can be detrimental to our health. The long-term activation of the stress-response system, and the overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones, can disrupt almost all of your body’s processes. This can lead to anxiety, depression, headaches, heart disease, sleep problems, and memory and concentration impairment.
