Traditional Chinese medicine

When the fuyang pulse is faint and stringlike, it should indicate abdominal fullness. If there is no abdominal fullness, there must be difficult defecation and pain in both rib-sides. This is deficient cold ascending from below. Treat it with warm medicinals.

趺阳脉微弦，法当腹满，不满者必便难，两胠疼痛，此虚寒从下上也。当以温药服之。

15 Harmful Habits Holding You Back

6. Glorifying always being busy.

总是很忙

Constantly being busy is not a status symbol, badge of honor, or healthy habit.

总是很忙不是地位的象征，荣誉的象征，也不是健康的习惯。

On the contrary, maintaining an impossibly busy schedule is typically an unconscious response ingrained in us from some traumatic experience we endured. Stay busy so you don’t have to feel it, our unconscious mind convinces us. If you achieve enough success, it negates the pain. In turn, we avoid and repress and numb our emotions by taking on an impossible schedule and keeping ourselves restless, like some sort of human Energizer Bunny.

相反，保持繁忙的日程是我们对创伤经历的一种根深蒂固的无意识反应。保持忙碌，这样你就不必感受到它，我们的潜意识会说服我们。如果你获得足够的成功，痛苦就会被抵消。反过来，通过制定不可能完成的时间表，让自己坐立不安来回避、压抑和麻木我们的情绪，就像某种人类的能量兔。

But even he eventually runs out of fuel.

但他最终会耗尽燃料。

Let’s make one thing clear: An impossibly-busy lifestyle simply isn’t sustainable. A packed schedule doesn’t make you important, it makes you neglectful. A full calendar might give you material wealth but it’ll rob you of your inner peace. Even if you’re doing it in the name of a burning passion, you’ll only end up burning yourself out in the end.

让我们明确一点：忙碌的生活方式是不可持续的，拥挤的时间表不能让你变得更重要，只会让你变得疏忽大意。安排得满当当的日程表可能给你带来物质财富，但它会剥夺你内心的平静。即使你以热情的名义来做这些事情，你最终也只会燃烧自己。

We’re called human beings, not human doings. Stop giving so much and start taking what you need. Take time to rest. Take care of your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Take the space you need to refresh.

It’ll pay off in the long run.

我们是人，而不是人类的行为。不要总给予太多，开始索取你所需要的。花点时间休息。照顾好自己的精神、情感和身体健康。腾出你需要的时间来使自己恢复精力。从长远看，这是值得的。
