The Trap of Busyness
Busyness often serves as a distraction from addressing deeper emotional and spiritual issues. By keeping individuals overwhelmed, it acts as a protective mechanism that prevents them from confronting feelings of loneliness, inadequacy, or unresolved personal matters. This busy state can create a false sense of control, allowing people to avoid self-reflection and ongoing struggles. Recognizing and breaking free from the cycle of busyness can provide the opportunity to engage with one’s true self and pursue healing.
