Deep dives

The Shift to Reactivity

People often relinquish control of their lives gradually, leading to a state of 'reactive life syndrome.' This condition results from succumbing to societal pressures, constantly reacting to obligations rather than living intentionally. As individuals become overwhelmed by daily demands, they may find themselves swept away by busyness without purpose, losing connection with their true desires and values. It's crucial to identify how and when this shift occurs, as awareness of it can be the first step towards reclaiming personal agency.
