Why Being Busy Is Healthy

Being busy here refers to being active and engaged in any activity that keeps your brain busy or work-related activities that keeps you focused. These activities include writing, research, exercising, painting, cooking, planting in your garden and many more that will keep your adrenaline rush going and give you a sense of focus.

Being busy also means that you are constantly improving yourself. You're doing such tasks because you want to get better at it. In other words, those activities would lead to boosting your self-esteem and your mood. The happier you feel about yourself, the better your performance. When you're confident, you always have more room for improvement and for learning from any possible mistakes made.

Your brain is happy when engaged in something creative and intellectual. When you're focused on the task at hand, you have no room for negative thoughts because you're too busy to think. The less time you spend worrying and reminiscing negative events that happened in the past, the better you'll feel; but not to the extent of overworking. It is not healthy at all.

Being busy is a sign of stature. And while it may seem exhausting to be always on-the-go, being productive provide means more happiness than more downtime. I can attest to this fact because there are even times that I am working very hard to meet deadlines and still have a million and one things to do which other people can't imagine I'm capable of.

I am always on the rush. Being busy gets me fired up and energized. It gives me a feeling of self-accomplishment. It keeps my mind active and constantly thinking, making my brain work a little bit harder than it normally does. The fact that my mind is switched on and can do different things means I am developing myself as a person.

I believe that If you're busy doing a number of different activities, such as learning a new skill, doing a market research, building a business, or even socializing, you are pushing your boundaries, learning more about yourself, your skills and abilities and what you can achieve. You are utilizing your potentials at its optimum level. You learn how to prioritize, organize and find more ways of doing things efficiently and effectively.

The very fact that you are accomplishing a lot in your life everyday can boost your self-esteem. When you continually learn and develop in the process, it can lead to a higher level of confidence. You can easily relate and connect with other people on a more personal level.

Seeking and living a pleasant life might make you happy in the short run, but without purpose it could make your life miserable over time. Keeping yourself busy therefore, makes you happier and healthier rather than doing nothing.

Keeping yourself busy in doing meaningless or unnecessary tasks, is a waste of energy. But when you're doing something productive and meaningful, it gives you a sense of fulfillment; thereby, making you happier than being idle.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
