Busy isn’t the same as active
More activity isn’t always better. Filling every hour can be its own way of avoiding, keeping busy so there’s no time to feel or face something.
The goal isn’t a packed schedule. It’s a balance that includes things you enjoy, things that matter to you, and enough rest.
If your week is full but nothing in it feels good or meaningful, look at what the activities are for. Swap one task for something you’d enjoy, or for time with someone you care about.
