I remember the first time hearing this and thinking that it was a bunch of spiritual craziness. And truth be told, it is at first. We are not programmed to think that we determine so much of our life, and part of that is how we relate to time.
Are you constantly saying you don’t have enough time? There isn’t enough time in the day? It takes up too much time? You will do x,y,z when you have time? You will really go for your dream once it is time?
All of those phrases are your contracts with time. When you go full force into your destiny, into what you are awesome at, so many doors open up. And one of them is with your relationship to time.
Besides all the spiritual shifts you need to make, there also is the practical reality. These are the habits you have in place to keep you conveniently stuck and out of time to truly go for it.
Here are some:
- Too many emails that pile up in your inbox.
- Lack of filters or folders in your email accounts to sort for you.
- Disorganized papers to be filed. When? You guessed it. When you have time!
- Always answering emails and texts as they come in. It takes your focus off of you.
- Letting go of things that are not that important.
- Delegating certain tasks that someone else can do for you.
- Avoiding creating a sacred time for yourself to get clear on your dreams, goals, and tasks to do.
- Not keeping an up to date calendar (hourly) and sticking to it. There is freedom in structure.
- And the list goes on.
So, the next time you tell yourself that you don’t have time, change that thought. You create your reality. And also the way you play with time.
So, sit down, and figure out what takes your time and find a way to shift that TODAY! You will be amazed at the results.
