Stop Saying You're Crazy Busy

from Sparked! · host Cara Bradley

You don't have to live in the crazy busy state. In this Spark, you'll learn why busyness is a state of mind, not a fact of your schedule, and what it's actually costing you in your health, your relationships, and your attention.You'll meet "busy me," the speedy, scattered version of you that knocks things over and talks too fast, and "best me," the grounded, clear version that gets just as much done. Then you'll get simple mini wins you can use today to shift states: stop, notice, take five breaths, get outside for two minutes.If you don't choose your state, the world will choose it for you.Read the original Spark: https://carabradley.substack.com/p/be-aware-of-busy-meSubscribe to Sparked on Substack: https://carabradley.substack.comMore on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sparkedwithcara?sub_confirmation=1Website: https://carabradley.net
