Hurrying is my default! 3 Reply Malag10 months agoMalagI know what sounds good, I can talk it, but my experience still only hints at where this question is going 2 Reply Heather10 months agoHeatherInstead of saying I don’t have time to, I should say I have time to. Removing the don’t. I wonder if a shift like that will make me less stressed when I worry about deadlines? 2 Reply Lily Fire10 months agoLily FireMy goal is to take time for spiritual growth on a regular basis. This seems to always be pushed to the bottom of the list of things to do. I am determined to change this and know the results will be life changing. 3 Reply Mica10 months agoMicaBummer, Cambrie! Hugs to you! – 0 Reply Mica10 months agoMicaI think I procrastinare more; but indeed I seem to get ‘enough’ done, and I meet deadlines if I want to. 2 Reply Melissa10 months agoMelissaA sigh of relief. 2 Reply slawrence10 months agoslawrenceStress goes down if I let it, and my mind opens up to what I could be creating that I haven’t gotten around to before this. 2 Reply pkr10 months agopkrWhen I view time as abundance rather than scarcity I calm down. I do not feel so frantic to “get everything done” without enjoying any of it. I am present and aware. 3 Reply Linda10 months agoLindaI would say I have a LOT more time now than normal, and it feels very freeing to not have a tight schedule. 2 Reply TeriB10 months agoTeriBI feel like I have more time to accomplish things on my to do list, not having to rush through them to get them done, however, I also realize that if I don’t get my tasks completed there is always more time tomorrow. 3 Reply Pilgrim10 months agoPilgrimWhat probably happens at first is I make my list longer, since I feel like I have more time. Then I get real, assess my energy and what may be possible within a certain framework, such as an afternoon or a day. If the weather calls me outside for a walk, then the "list" gets adjusted or maybe put off for a day. I assess as I go. I am fortunate to be retired so I have this flexibility; have some health issues so energy and the "actually possible" need to be considered. And I write in my calendar/...What probably happens at first is I make my list longer, since I feel like I have more time.

The haves rather than the have nots! 0 Reply Debra10 months agoDebraThere has been tremendous change for me, not simply viewing a transition from scarcity of time to abundance, but feeling it wholeheartedly from within. I have always been a “doer” and that ate up my time in almost constant activity. That stance has changed and I am feeling blessed to have time to spend in solitude and prayer.

I have always been a “doer” and that ate up my time in almost constant activity. That stance has changed and I am feeling blessed to have time to spend in solitude and prayer. The flexibility that I have woven into my work routine (after many, many days left exhausted from too much work and no breaks) has spawned taking time for educational/inspirational moments. In an office setting, I didn’t provide for that. Being at home has not led to boredom or to too much on the ‘to do’ list; quite the contrary —- my inner life is awakening with this new-found abundance and that is such a welcome gift.

No longer are a career chasing nonsense dollars and symbols of prestige using my time to enrich captains of business. My health, my family, and my home are now front and center. 5 Reply UntamedCheetah10 months agoUntamedCheetahI appreciate my family and close friends, instead of focusing on what I have lost and the material things I don’t have right now. Things I can replace, relationships, deep caring soul-nourishing relationships, I cannot. 1 Reply KELLIE10 months agoKELLIEIt calms and slows me down to enjoy the moment 4 Reply Gayle Reisig10 months agoGayle ReisigI know I have enough of what I need. Time is a mystery to me. I’m retired and caring for Grandbabes and I am blessed and grateful for the opportunity to serve and be the best Nanny I can. It’s all gift and I am so grateful. This is my first time here and I am grateful to be here. Thank you ??.

The intellect can’t lead as the life doesn’t follow.
