Time … Got Enough????

Time … at times it feels like my nemesis.
I was born 4 days late. I think that might be why I’ve felt like I might miss something. I’ve felt this all my life … as far back as I can remember. Do you relate?
I’ve had to learn to become friends with time … and in business that can be especially hard. I want to do so much … and of course business bleeds into personal … and there I am, feeling like I don’t have enough time …
for myself,
my family,
my friends,
my projects,
my clients,
my dreams. etc.
However, I have found one thing that has really helped me to let go of the enemy and embrace my challenge as I do believe it is there to teach me something …
I have found a way that helps me manage my time, energy and thoughts …
A CALENDAR!
In my Outlook calendar, there is not one day ever that there isn’t an activity on it. And it’s not because I’m working 20 hours a day (although sometimes I do), but it’s because I put everything that I want to create my time for on there.
EVERYTHING!!!!! (except sex)
I put my personal time on there because my personal time I have to recognize is as important as, or more important sometimes, than my business time. So, with my schedule, I have chosen to make sure that my personal life is a priority as well. SO, on Mondays, every Monday, I have family dinner on my calendar. It is important to me. Early in the am, I have meditation, create my day, etc. That is important to me … just as important as a meeting, or a project due date. Some days I have lunch dates with friends, dinner with my hubby, family time by the pool and personal time for me … right along with all of my business time. It’s all on there 🙂
I have found that it doesn’t allow me the opportunity to make excuses. It holds me accountable to me and my true desires when I am not in the rush or the bustle of a day. It is a reminder to my head from my Spirit that this is important enough to me that I have added it to my calendar … so I better create the time to honor that. Most importantly, it has allowed me to get out of my head. I don’t want to keep it in my head; there’s too much going on in there …
So, what are you going to add to your calendar today … that you have been neglecting, not making time for or just keeping in your head for “if” you have the time?
What I know for sure is that we create the time for the things that are important for us … and it is up to us to honor ourselves by following through and being accountable …
I have time right now … to go get my nails done … Adios ~ SDJ
