Many of us are busy because it’s normal and it feels safer. In toxic relationships it’s easier to stay busy. They leave us alone a little more than if we just take time to do nothing.
After we get out of these relationships it’s still our normal to stay busy. Some of it is conditioning and some of it helps us to avoid all of the uncomfortable emotions and thoughts.
We might feel less bad staying continuously busy, but it doesn’t necessarily help us heal.
We must slow down at least a little in order to face and process the thoughts and emotions we are experiencing. This is the process of healing.
