Do You Really Not Have Time?
The block of not having enough time came up a during the workshops last week (you can watch the replay below) so it was great to offer a new perspective on this, which seemed to really land with everyone.
The thing is, we all have the same 24 hours.
Yet somehow…
we find time to support others
we find time to meet the expectations of others
we find time to scroll, watch, distract
However, when it comes to ourselves and pursuing the things that light us up, the dreams we say we care about, the rest, the stillness, the creativity..
Suddenly, there’s “no time.”
THE HONEST QUESTION
Are we truly lacking time or are we not choosing ourselves within the time we have?
Choosing ourselves might look like:
getting up a little earlier to meditate or work on our vision
switching off the noise
saying no when you’d usually say yes
creating space instead of waiting for it
I know this can feel uncomfortable because it requires us to believe:
“I am worthy of this time.”
THE BELIEF SHIFT
Instead of saying “I don’t have time…”
We can ask:
“Where am I giving my time away?”
It's important to pose this question from a place of awareness rather than judgement because your time is your energy.
TURNING BELIEF INTO ACTION
To no longer be last on your list, find just one small pocket of time this week that's yours. Protect it, honour it and use it for something that fills you up.
With love and light
