The Paradox of Busyness: Embracing Rest and Realignment

The paradox of busyness. - For the first few years of my business, all I ever wanted was to work with cool clients, and be on shoots all the time. To me being busy was success. Some of you may feel the same way. The more you do or can get done in a day, the better you feel about yourself. The opposite was also true for me. I worked myself every day to the point that I would burn out, but yet I still felt bad taking a break. I felt like I was unproductive. Over the past few months God has been showing me the importance of sabbath and rest. Not only is it good for health, but it’s also a mental reset and an act of faithful obedience that the job will be done even though you rest. The other thing I’ve noticed is that in my busyness, I was attending to everyone else’s dreams and desires except my own. I would do shoots for all kinds of clients, but when it came time for me to work on projects for myself, post, etc. , I was either too tired or unmotivated to do it. It’s interesting how the very thing I wanted is the very thing that’s now keeping me from doing what I want. If you find yourself in a similar position, I definitely encourage a rest day. You need it. Then finding the projects or work that will really move the ball forward and removing the ones that don’t, that way you free up your time to do the things you want to do. Don’t cheat on yourself! Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 • • • • •
