Do you sometimes feel like your life is riddled with competing priorities, impossible to-do lists, feelings that intrude and keep you up at night, and distracting information overload?

You'll find practical help here!

I worked with the exercise you shared in your last e-zine but found that, no matter what I tried, I was not able to step beyond my feelings of overwhelm. Help! Can you give me some more detail about where I can go with this?

How you experience your time is affected both by your feelings and by your circumstances. While you may not be able to change or directly impact your circumstances, you are always making choices about your feelings. So, in today’s exercise, I am going to walk you through a brief scenario and then offer some questions to help you recognize your feelings and then affirm your power to make conscious choices about them.

When you’re overwhelmed, it’s hard to let go and stop working to overcome it, even for a second. But the reality is that as your efforts become more and more frenetic, you’re behaving like someone who’s drowning.

Time is an enigma. It is concrete. It is measurable. It is finite. We have the same 24-hours each and every day. And yet how those hours feel to us is powerfully subjective – so much so that their duration seems to vary.

In this podcast I’m enlarging our exploration of rituals with an exercise to help you shape a ritual for yourself — one that’s grounding and sustaining, no matter what.

Rhythm and repetition keep us going – and they can be comforting in their predictability. Rhythm and repetition also offer a platform for developing uniquely personal ways of interacting with time.
