When does time not exist for you? For me it’s floating in a pool, swimming laps, engaging in deep conversations, dancing, reading, listening to music, doing yoga and meditating. How often do we really give ourselves time to simply be and to do the things we love? As of a recent coaching conversation with my life coach, Dulce, I discovered that I needed to schedule at least three hours a day for me. At first, I was shocked that I needed this much time for myself. How could I possibly need that much time? Is this selfish? Considering that my life purpose is to help others, I have now come to realize that it is what it is. This time makes me more grounded and ready for service.
On that note, how might you schedule more time for you this week? One thing that has worked for me was to write a list of all the things I love. Then, I used the list and scheduled time for one or more of the items each day. This technique has worked wonders for me when traveling and out of my routine.
See you on the journey!
