I'm hyperactive

Because I'm this way?

Life is too short: You don't want to have any regrets and you want to do everything in record time. Your agenda is always full, to the point of bursting, because you dedicate yourself to a thousand activities.

Be careful though! By dint of wanting to do and try everything, you risk not even having time to enjoy your pleasures. You cannot accumulate assets and, at the same time, truly enjoy them. Some occupations deserve to be savored calmly. If you go too fast, you risk not enjoying life.

You don't like doing nothing: For you, non-movement = death, nothingness. You don't understand people who get up late, who can stand still and do nothing on a beach or, even worse ... take a nap! You think sleeping or resting is a waste of time.

You are very demanding of yourself: you are combative, and for you it is a duty to take life head-on. Failing to do so would be a personal failure. That's why you go through almost inhuman rhythms to prove that you can do it.

Be careful though! Who are you trying to prove what? To yourself or to others? Being demanding on yourself is a great show of strength, but being realistic is even more so. Sooner or later the chin or body will not take it anymore, and then you will be even more disappointed.

You are afraid of finding yourself in front of yourself: You run left and right, you are always on the phone or in a meeting ... you might be wearing the "busy" sign! In this flurry of activity, you don't have time to ask questions and reflect on your moods, to think about yours concerns.
