June 7, 2010 - Are you busy as can be, but not seeing the results from your busyness? Then you could be falling into the trap of confusing distraction with action. Is everything that you are staying busy doing moving you towards reaching one of your goals or simply filling your time? Oftentimes busyness is a way to avoid what seems overwhelming or intimidating. It is a way of putting things off without feeling like you are procrastinating because at least you are doing something.

Take an MM&I Moment to ask yourself why you are filling your time with busyness instead of getting down to business. Then be open to all possible resources and support to help you get beyond what might be holding you back from making that next move. Take this moment to shift into action with what will help you move forward to see the results that you desire.
