The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | Are You Too Busy?

Ep #20: Are You Too Busy?

January 19, 2022

In the last 50 years, the word busy has become synonymous with a sense of importance. Something about being busy makes people feel needed or wanted, and it’s something we overthinkers strive for. I’m noticing more and more clients complaining about feeling busy, but the truth is that busyness is something we’re doing to ourselves and a choice we make for our lives. 

I personally have suffered from overscheduling myself for my whole life. Whether it’s a dinner invitation, a kid’s birthday party, or family commitments, saying no never felt like an option. However, discovering the reasoning behind this habit has allowed me to slow down and look after myself before committing to help others, experiencing more joy in the process. And the same is possible for you too.

Join me this week because I’m sharing the truth about overscheduling, overcompensating, and not having established boundaries around your time. I’m showing you how to give yourself the gift of space, so you can recharge and be more effective in how you help others, without burning yourself out through busyness.

If you want to learn more tips for managing your stress and your overthinking brain, I highly recommend signing up for my weekly newsletter here!
