In our current culture, we are essentially expected to act and work like we are machines.
There's both a spoken and unspoken 'rule' that in order to be living a 'good' life, in order to be doing things 'right' we must be in what is pretty much a perpetual state of productivity, wellness, forward momentum and achievement.
Whether this be in our money making efforts, our personal growth, our physical health or in our spirituality - there is an underlying narrative that to be stagnant, to not be giving our 'all' at any given time, to be moving backwards, to not be working to improve and to be in any kind of state of slowing down or inertia is to be failing, missing out on our potential.
This leads not only to a culture of burnout where we feel excessive guilt about having to take what are natural, normal and humane breaks, and to states where we find ourselves legitimately crashing and not being ABLE to carry on even when we want to, but it ALSO leads to this culture of MASSIVE over consumption, numbing out, escapism, self sabotage and a whole host of other coping mechanisms we employ to try to help us get THROUGH the perpetual pushing we're doing in the rest of our lives.
It leads to things like addictions, endless hours scrolling, periods of DEEP lack of productivity we then feel guilty about but feel that we have NO control over - lending itself to vicious cycles of over doing, burnout, over consumption/addictive behaviors to try to cope, deep guilt, over production and a constant quest to 'fix' and 'better' ourselves as we try to keep up with what is essentially a totally unreasonable SYSTEM.
Today we are going to talk about all of this.
Why overproduction is leading to overconsumption. Why we get caught up in burnout, in numbing and coping behaviors. Why the constant drive to 'improve' is likely HINDERING our progress towards becoming the people we want to be - and how we can turn this WHOLE ship around by rejecting culture in a REAL way - and finding our enough as we move forward in this life at a HUMANE pace.
This isn't easy work, but it's important.
