00:00:29The main thing I wanted to talk about is I have a sometimes Weekly Newsletter. I say sometimes weekly because if

00:00:51About what's on my mind and then I share things about the podcast. Maybe some events. It's really fun. And if you want to sign up for it, please go to Jen mcfarland.com free and you can get your hands on it. I love it. It's a labor of love. That's why I sent it out.

00:01:19But the thread that I wanted to pull.

00:01:33The health repercussions of burnout and yet we all live in Hustle culture as a nurse. We are encouraged in fact, to live in

00:01:51Something I'm not fully in alignment with like, why do we have to be in this hustle? This cultural hustle all the time, going out and getting things. And as I was reflecting on it this morning. I was wondering why do I feel so miss aligned with the hustle? And I was like, maybe it's because of what that word has always meant for me and I was like, maybe I'm thinking of the wrong words and then I looked it up and I was like now this is the same word. So for those of you who haven't got to know your dictionary in a while, I seem to be very well acquainted. With mine hustle is to force someone to move hurriedly or unceremonious. We in a specified Direction.

00:03:34My podcast typically comes out on a Monday and that means that on Sunday. I'm doing a lot of work around marketing, getting the word out. If I have a guest. I have to let the guests know what was going on. This is all kind of part of the I guess podcast hustle for like being successful, right? I was going to that checklist and then I was like wait,

00:04:11And then I was like, I should myself a little Grace because I've been really busy. I've been traveling around. I have been busy with family. We've had guests, I'm traveling again over the course of the next couple of weeks and it just felt right to take a day off for the first time in over a year. And I was like, yeah, that's cool. And then I thought about for an hour and then I thought about the hustle and that's why I hustle culture is one of the things that I'm ruminating on what I first started. My business, I was reading a lot. And the thing I was most concerned with was sales, always sales. And the reason I was so concerned with sales is I never done that before. So I fell into listening to Gary vaynerchuk and I discovered somebody named Grant Cardone who talks a lot about sales and they were going through what their day looks like.

00:05:38The segment isn't for you. If you believe in influence And discussing ideas and what those ideas are like, then the segment is for you to see if you are a solo printer or small business owner. You don't have the bandwidth for the hustle that they're talking about. You don't have a staff of like a hundred people you have handlers were saying, you need to be here. You need to go there. You don't have somebody recording your segments editing them for you.

00:06:43Hustle has a couple of different sides to it. Hustle needs to be something that you are aligned with and this notion that we have of what hustle is and what hustle is.

00:07:01And what you've got going on?

00:07:09Maybe 3 sided coin. I don't know if there is such a thing, you know, but if we're talking about busy movement and activity.

00:07:24And it's attached to something.

00:07:31So, it makes sense for them. I'm suggesting that.

00:08:38But many of us don't have a Handler or a team of handlers. We have to make targeted movements ourselves and it might mean that we get more rest and it might mean that we take care of ourselves a lot more and practice a lot more self-care. And it might mean that that busy movement and activity.

00:09:11There's a beauty in Stillness.

00:09:26Doing speaking gigs and doing all of the tanks. What about our families?

00:09:39I'm not taking a nap during the day, like this glorious thing that you used to do as a kid.

00:10:03Stillness.

00:10:12And people that matter the most at the anti Hustle.

00:10:21The more time we spend outside of the Fast Lane, it's time that we have to make connections that matter. Most if you're moving by force and you're getting everything by force and things are coming at you at Force.

00:10:43Maybe you are.

00:10:47But if you're not, don't beat yourself up about that.

00:11:05Doesn't mean you're a failure.

00:11:15Just because they make more money than you doesn't mean that they're more successful either.

00:11:25I think that's entirely possible.

00:11:34Getting a clear guide and sense of what success means to you.

00:11:43What all that busy movement is really about because if you're not clear about what success means of what success looks like, and what your goals are.

00:11:56This isn't about having a plan. This is about core beliefs about personal alignment.
