When movement becomes your mask.
You keep moving.
Emails.
Errands.
Calls.
Tasks.
Noise.
You say you’re being productive.
You say you’re just “getting things done.”
But deep down…
you’re avoiding stillness.
Because stillness?
Stillness makes space for feelings.
And some days, that’s the one thing you don’t want to feel.
Busyness becomes the shield.
The badge.
The safe, socially acceptable way to hide from burnout, grief, confusion — or just the ache of being a human.
You’re praised for it.
Rewarded for it.
But inside…
you’re exhausted.
Busyness isn’t always about getting ahead.
Sometimes it’s about not being left alone
with what’s underneath.
Ask yourself:
- Is my schedule full — or is my heart just full of things I haven’t faced yet?
- Am I moving toward something — or running from something?
- Would I still feel valuable… if I stopped?
This is the Cushy way.
Movement with meaning.
Action with alignment.
Stillness without shame.
You’re allowed to slow down.
Your worth doesn’t live in what you get done.
It lives in who you are when you stop doing anything at all.
