This episode examines a common, unhelpful response to feeling uncertain, afraid, and not secure, which is to try to get more done or to make ourselves busier. I talk about a recent experience kidding myself into thinking working in overdrive and constantly trying to "help" was my trying to be productive. In reality, I was unwilling to slow down because it meant having to feel a lack of security or stability. I didn't want to accept the reality that what I used to associate with security and stability had been permanently altered by Coronavirus. While it doesn't feel good at first leaning into this truth, something special happens when you give yourself and others the grace and space to do so.
