Full Schedule

I used to say “I’m so busy” all the time.  Well, it’s still true but I try not to say it anymore.  I prefer to say I have a “full schedule”.  Doesn’t that sound better?  I feel like the phrase “I’m so busy” sends a message.  I don’t have time for this, that, the other thing or (even worse) you.  The word “busy” to me implies a frantic state, somewhat like a running around or even a somewhat “frazzled” state of mind. 

But when I use the phrase “full schedule” it feels grounded.  It feels like I’m saying my feet are on the ground and I have a calm approach to the things that are going on in my life.  It feels like I’m saying I elect to have a lot on my plate.  It’s my choice because I’m one of those types of people who enjoys and prefers having a lot going on all at the same time.  It makes me feel productive and it makes me feel like the fullness has a lot more to do with my purpose and intention than anything else.  Can you relate?
