-EPISODE SUMMARY-
PRACTICES:
- Connect to the present moment in a way that makes sense to you. For instance, guided meditation, visualization, dancing, stretching, shaking, oracle or tarot cards.
- Meander through a city instead of planning out a trip.
- Connect to the voice that is telling you that there isn’t enough time with curiosity and compassion. What is it telling you ? Why is it here ? What part of you is it ? What is it trying to do for you ? Then hold that part of you, although it may be uncomfortable. It will get easier.
- Practice sitting or lying while not doing anything. This is not meditation, but rather allowing your body to do whatever it wants with self-acceptance and self-compassion. Allow time to be expansive in this moment.
- Lean into the addictive behaviour. What is this really about ? What feelings are present ? What are you running from or not wanting to be with ?
- Try not making to-do lists and simply let things naturally flow.
- Take a minute, put your hand on your chest and breathe for a minute.
IDEAS:
- Time impacts our physical, emotional and spiritual lives.
- We are inherently worthy without doing anything, yet we often develop an addiction to doing.
- Sometimes this addiction can take on other forms: to self-harm, to self-hate, to not being still, to being on, to working, to productivity, to an inability to be with self.
- An addiction is something you are repeatedly doing that you don’t want to be doing.
- Often, an internal critic is trying to protect us in some way, for instance from failure, or from a message that you are receiving from the world.
- We’ve been taught to sell our time and turn our life into a resource.
- We are taught that time hacks will make us more productive but deeper work is required to have a healthy relationship to time.
- We can move from a sense of time scarcity to time abundance.
- When we heal our relationship to time, we free up our energy to do the things that are the most important to us.
- People with a healthy relationship to time don’t say scarcity scripts or phrases, and are present and intentional. They collaborate with time in an expansive relationship and don’t try to control it.
