Ted in Your Head

Show Notes

Are you super productive and proud of it? Do people tell you that you are always busy doing something? Great!

However, when you stop, slow down, or pause, do you feel anxiety, fear, or guilt? If so, you may have a hidden fear of slowing down or relaxing.

There is a term called Hurry Sickness, which is the feeling of being constantly rushed and stressed.

There is also such a thing called Doing Addiction: always needing to be doing something.

These are just two reasons why you might feel anxious, guilty and have great resistance to pausing, stopping, resting or relaxing. There are others.

In this episode, Ted talks about a fear that you might not even know you have. This fear can control you, push you, and create overwhelm, fatigue and illness. If there is something telling you that if you pause, relax or take time off it might create a catastrophe, then take the time to check out this podcast episode.

When was the last time you sat outside and just looked at the sky? Not took a photo of it. Not posted it. Just sat there and looked at it. If you had to think about that for a moment — this episode is for you. Somewhere along the way, many of us have traded the sky, the trees, and the mountains for a small glowing screen. And that trade is costing us more than we realize.
