SLC-S29/W4-“Thinking and Ideas!| Rethinking the Normal!”
Hello friends Assalamualaikum. This is @mahmud552 from #Bangladesh.
Dear Steemit lovers, we all know that the fourth week of the 29th session of the Steemit Challenge is underway, an important competition of this session is thinking and ideas in which we can reconsider normal things, and we are sharing our thoughts on this topic, this beautiful competition was organized by @ninapenda, who titled his competition SLC-S29/W4-“Thinking and Ideas!| Rethinking the Normal!”

We think about many things in our lives and have ideas on many things in our lives, but there are some things that are very normal but we need to rethink those things, because many times we think one way but it turns out differently, why sometimes there is a gap in our beliefs, today I will share one such thing with you.
|

Most of us think that being busy all the time is proof of success, we almost naturally think in society that the more busy a person is, the more successful he can be, because of busyness, that person sleeps less, works a lot, but we should question this belief, because excessive busyness creates stress and creates initiative.
The reason we think of rest and leisure as laziness, but it makes us sick, because of this belief we give more importance to the quantity of work than the quality of work, because of this belief we learn to neglect our physical and mental health, basically being busy all the time is not the main reason for success, the main reason for strength is leading a healthy, balanced and meaningful life.

We rarely challenge this issue, because there are several deep social and psychological reasons behind it, we think that being busy means feeling important, we want to be praised, respected and accepted, which is why we are afraid to go against this idea, we think that if I work less, do not rest, then others will get ahead of us, this fear forces us to accept it silently.
From childhood we are taught that hard work is everything, but along with hard work, rest is also necessary, it is not given equal importance, which is why this issue is deeply embedded in us, that is why that belief exhausts us, but at the same time it also gives us a sense of identity security and recognition, you know, we rarely want to question our own identity.

If this natural way of thinking that we can be successful only if we are always busy can be changed, then we can make significant improvements on a personal and social level, our mental health will increase, depression will decrease, we can learn to rest without feeling guilty, the quality of our work in all areas will improve, we will have the belief that working with less attention will be more effective.
The competition between sick people and family and friendships will decrease, family and friendship relationships will become stronger, we will think that not tired people but healthy people are able to work well for a long time, if we reduce our busyness and give importance to awareness, rest and meaningful work, then we will do better and more work and our life will be beautiful.
|

If this natural idea of being busy all the time completely disappears, then it will bring positive changes as well as some things may be lost from us, it is important to admit that if this is completely removed, in some cases it can bring laziness and slackness in work, the moral story of hard work may be lost, this self-esteem that I have worked hard to get here is the strength of many but it can weaken.
The real problem is not busyness, but rather meaningless and compulsive busyness. If it disappears from our midst, some structures will break, but if we change it correctly, we will create a deeper, more sustainable and mental structure, which will play an important role in the stability of work and the beauty of work. For this, we all need awareness about this.

Hi @mahmud552 (72), welcome to thinking and ideas week 4
Working all day long and all week long is a choice that people make. Most times people are put under pressure to make a living and they see rest as a waste of time so they keep pushing with the work to meet up.
Secondly, the economy has put people in this stressful state. They no longer think about their health, but about their work.
Thank you very much for reviewing my post.
As with most things in life, balance is the key.
Thanks for the invitation but I am too busy to start another project at this time. Would you be interested in joining my games? We could definitely use a few more players. It only takes a few minutes per day to play.
