Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Do you ever find yourself running around like a wild animal for absolutely no reason?

Or maybe you observe this in others. Everyone's in a Russian traffic. Everyone's cleaning their

house like there's an invisible timer. People are walking like, the world's going to end or like

they've got a plane to catch. Slow down. It's hilarious to me how we can go through life,

walk through life as if we're being chased by a bear,

chased by a tiger.

And what's interesting is that our brains, unless we're conscious, will have us believe

that our inbox, our pings, our notifications are like a tiger.

They need us.

We always need to be on guard, alert, responsive. But isn't being responsive

all of the time making you tired? I swear when I've spoken to different burnout experts

and people who even focus on fatigue as its own subjects, it's not from doing more necessarily than others. It's the internal

state. It's the fight or flight. It's that low level anxiety that is always there. I see this

manifest in the form of rushing. And I don't know about you, but I know that whenever I'm rushing,

unless there's a legitimate reason,

a.k.a. A. A.A. A. A. A. A. A. A real flight to catch. And perhaps you're late. I'm never late.

I'm always early at the airport. My friends, there is no rush. It's made up. It's a story that you

have. And here's why you want to get a hold of that. There is no finish line or the finish line

is your death. When does the rushing end? When is there ever a stop that comes to it? Whenever I hear

friends talk about how stress they are, how busy, how there's too much going on, I love to remind

them that they're choosing that.
