Are you stuck in the productivity cult? I’ve been there for most of my life — chasing every ticked box, every dopamine hit from getting things done, while unknowingly sacrificing presence, joy, and real rest.In this honest reflection, I explore the hidden costs of being endlessly productive, and why I believe productivity has become a modern-day religion — one that shapes our identity, warps our nervous systems, and traps us in cycles of burnout.This video isn’t about rejecting productivity altogether — it’s about reimagining what it means to be human in a world that constantly demands more. It’s about letting go of performance, reclaiming space, and redefining success.✨ Key topics covered:- The burnout loop hidden behind “being responsible”- Why rest becomes just another productivity tool- The illusion of value through over-functioning and hustle- How identity gets entangled with performance- Breaking free through presence, play, and purposelessness- Letting go of "in order to" behavior- The shift from productivity to contemplationIf you’ve ever felt like rest needs to be earned, or that you are only valuable when you're doing something useful, this video is for you.I’m sharing this not as a solution, but as part of a larger transition in my work and life — away from burnout, towards real presence and deeper meaning.🎙 Want more?I'll be posting regular reflections on reclaiming space, living with less urgency, and creating without attachment to outcome.🔔 Subscribe to join the journey.💬 I’d love to hear your thoughts:Do you relate to the trap of “productive rest”?Drop your experiences or questions in the comments below.#ProductivityTrap #BurnoutRecovery #ContemplativeLiving #SlowLiving #RestIsRevolutionary #BeyondHustle #SelfWorth #SpiritualProductivity #PresenceOverPerformance
