In the article, I reflect on my self-discoveries during the pandemic, questioning the notion that being busy and productive is inherently good. The AI review highlights my experience of how even positive activities, like exercise or staying informed, can distract us from deeper emotional work, personal growth, and truly balanced wellness. I want to encourage listeners to reflect on their own distractions and how they may hinder their personal growth.   Key Takeaway: Even seemingly healthy habits can serve as distractions from confronting our deeper emotional pains  - it's essential to evaluate our motivations and prioritize emotional well-being over constant busyness, achievement, and productivity.   Peace.

In this episode of Question It, I share my personal journey of discovering how my seemingly healthy habits might have been hiding deeper emotional pain and hindering my growth for decades. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I experienced a significant shift in my life by slowing down and reducing distractions, including cutting back on news consumption and exercise routines. This newfound stillness enabled me to tap into emotions I had long suppressed, leading to moments of deep reflection—and, I’ll admit, a lot of crying. Through this process, I realized that while I thought I was nurturing my health, I was actually avoiding my emotional pain and the feelings that needed my attention. Join me as I explore how removing distractions has helped me confront my emotions, been essential for my personal development, and how my journey might resonate with your own experiences. Key Takeaway: Reflect on your own habits: Are they genuinely serving your well-being, or are they distractions keeping you from addressing deeper emotional struggles? Peace. Love. Connect.
