Now let's get going with today's episode.

Well, hello and welcome to this week's episode that I'm going to start with a question and I want you to answer honestly. Do you wear your busyness, your over-scheduledness as a badge of honor? When people ask you,

how are you, do you say busy, busy, busy, never enough time to get it all done do you?

If you said yes shepishly you are not alone for those of you who don't know me

my name is Terry Cole I'm a licensed psychotherapist,

a relationship expert, and the founder of Real Love Revolution and the upcoming Boundary Boot camp.

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about how you can do less and live more.

Doesn't that sound good?

Adding one more thing to your to-do list, no.

What is it? Because what I find in my own life is that when I was younger, maybe even in my

20s and 30s, I thought that busyness equated to success. I thought that me having so many meetings and so much to do meant I was being successful.

And then the older I got, the healthier I got, the more I realized anyone can stay busy all of the time

and what is the cost of staying busy all the time because it isn't free to be

scheduled in that way so let's start breaking down how we can shift it.

So the first thing is stop the chronic screen time, right? It's the chronic screen and sound time.

So if you are waiting online, are you on your phone?
