Busy, Busy, Busy.
You don’t stay busy because you’re disorganised.
You stay busy because your nervous system learned early that doing equals safety.
That’s not dramatic.
It’s adaptive.
For a system shaped by uncertainty, responsibility, or the need to stay alert, stillness isn’t rest.
It’s exposure.
When nothing is happening, there’s no distraction.
No buffer.
No external anchor.
F*ck the rules
You’ve been praised for how much you can handle.
How well you multitask.
How calmly you hold it all together.
And because you can cope —
you keep coping.
You say you’re fine.
You squeeze more into days that are already full.
You push through pain, tension, stress — because that’s what you’ve always done.
