-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.
