Deep breaths, a good laugh, and self-kindness go a long way!

🌀 "I’m so busy!" 🌀 It's a phrase we, as social workers, hear and say a lot, often as a badge of honour... or maybe a way to cope with feeling overwhelmed. But did you know the roots of "busy" include meanings like "diligent," "careful," and even "active"? Yet, another meaning hints at anxiety - a feeling many of us know all too well.
What if we shifted our "I am" statements away from just being busy? Imagine affirming: "I am diligent." "I am focused." "I am careful with my time." These words honour our effort without feeding into the overwhelm. 🧘♀️⠀
Next time you find yourself saying, "I’m so busy!" - pause, breathe, and reframe. Your energy and care deserve recognition, not anxiety. ✨⠀

If you find a way to be happy and spill your sense of well-being onto others, you are a genuine success.
