Many times when someone asks how someone else is doing, the other person may respond, “I am so busy.”
I always find the response “That’s good” to be odd.
Why are they glad the other person is busy instead of well or happy?
And some people even say, “Well, at least it’s better than the alternative.“
Better than being relaxed and at peace? Better than someone feeling they are enough and that they don’t have to hustle to fit in? Better than feeling balanced and healthy?
I think it’s so important for us to practice mindfulness.
