We're kind of all just blindly going about things, hoping that it will work out.

So it feels like, you know, we are bombarded with this hustle culture. matched

Like, you know, we haven't been taught how to rest. matched

Like that is true, what you were saying before. matched

So how do societal expectations make rest feel like a luxury we can't afford? matched

I think that there's a really deep cultural narrative here that's

definitely ties our worth to our output.

That is gold.

You can trace it back through religious work ethics, through to industrial capitalism, to where we are now.

Modern work culture has really amplified that.

Social media has made it so hyper-visible in a way that it never used to be.

I think that we live in a society that treats busyness as a badge, saying the term, oh, I've been flat out or have you been, oh, you know, busy.

It feels like it's a badge you wear with pride and there is a form of implicit hierarchy to this.

If you're not exhausted, are you trying hard enough?

If you have time to rest, are you ambitious?

Are you doing the things?

Right.

And the cool part, the truly cool part of this is that that logic is endless.

There is always more to do.

That to-do list, the moment you tick it off and feel that deep sense of satisfaction, guess what?
