Descripción del Episodio

I know you’re busy. Which is why today’s message is the one thing you need to hear right now.

I need this message too. We all do.

Because there’s only one thing I want you to do this week:

NOTHING.

That’s right. I want you to do absolutely nothing.

No, I’m not smoking anything funny when I say this. I’m dead serious.

Hear me out.

There is an art and a science to doing nothing, and we need to put it into our daily lives.

All this constant doing is impacting your energy, your drive, your stamina, and your ability to be present, which in turn affects the decisions you make and your relationships.

Look at it this way. What are you doing right now?

Because I bet you’re scrolling through podcast episodes to listen to as you jump on your Peloton, drive to work, fold laundry, organize your desk, or whatever it is you do when you multitask.

You and I live in a world that glorifies productivity and accomplishment. The busier we are, the more important we must be.

But all that busyness is not making you happier or healthier. In fact, you’re writing to me every day asking how to deal with burnout and overwhelm.

And look, I’m not exactly an expert. I struggle with this too, which is why I wanted to talk about it.

I can’t even take a freakin’ bath without feeling the urge to answer emails on my phone (and oftentimes, I do).

Like you, I have absolutely no idea how to do nothing.

But I know I need to learn how to turn off and unplug, even if it’s just for a minute.

This episode is the tough love that we all need. And it won’t require you to take a week off from work or be somebody who meditates all day.

We’re going to talk about how to create moments of peace in your daily life, no matter how complicated it may seem right now.

So whether you’re on vacation, studying for exams, running your own company, raising a family, or you’re in between three jobs, this episode is for all of us. And it’s one you deserve.
