Rushing Is Wrecking Your Nervous System

I rarely say this but…
 
This YouTube video changed my life.
 
2 days ago the YouTube Gods recommended this video by Holistically Rah called Rushing Is Wrecking Your Nervous System—And Delaying Your Destiny’.

As a certified workaholic, who struggles to place rest above achievement, I’ve watched countless videos like this.
 
But this one hit different.
 
Here’s 2 things she said that stood out to me:
 
Rushing is a form of resistance.
  • It doesn’t get you ahead.
  • It keeps you behind.
 
This hit me.
 
I find being addicted to work, is more than just wanting to be hyper-productive and being a goal-digger.
 
It’s a significant fear of falling behind, so great that you sacrifice everything possible to stay ahead - including sacrificing yourself.
 
She also said:
 
Rushing won’t get you there faster, it will just exhaust you before you arrive.

This one hit home.
  • Every early morning.
  • Every late night.
  • Every project.
  • Every meeting.
  • Every zoom call.
  • Every attempt to get ahead, is actually holding you back.
Grinding harder, doesn’t get you closer to your goal… it pushes your goal away.
 
This video felt like 7 months on therapy in 7 minutes.
 
Check it out and let me know what you think.
