Being Not Doing: Don't Get Caught in the Productivity Trap

We are living in the time of the productivity trap. We constantly question ourselves and how much we are DOING, which leads to feelings of guilt. If you are caught in the productivity trap and wondering if you are doing enough, join me for this episode.

Why we tend to grasp at what we CAN control, which is usually some sort of productivity
Why my message is, “You ARE doing enough.”
Why our new goals should be to tune into ourselves, find out what feels good, and figure out how to add more of that to our lives
