Time: Are You Good at Managing It?

Sprouts! The topic of today’s musing is TIME. Are you a type A Super Girl/Guy who over estimates your ability to get it all done? Be honest. I know I am. As a result of my very long “YES, I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU - SURE, I’LL GET RIGHT ON IT” list, we hemorrhaged money this week. Why? Because I bit off more than I could chew and let time get away from me. I devalued me. It’s really easy to take care of myself when some else is doing it for me. My 21 day supervised fast/detox was a breeze. They made the juice, I drank the juice. But now I’m home and sadly, I can’t always be trusted to love myself. Poor planning and a willingness to blaze through my boundaries taught me a valuable lesson. Say “NO”. Duh? I’ve written about this loads of times and yet I still do it - I suspect you do too. Sometimes “NO” is the mantra that inspires the clock. Happiness, spiritual tune-ups, health, and a plump wallet all require consistent attention. When we work too late and don’t plan ahead the stores close. That means no green juice in the morning and a reliance on the take-out/eat-out crutch. Next comes poor food and drink choices, followed by over spending and perhaps regret. When I feel like crap I’m less likely to workout. Meditation can blow me - it’s torture. Do you see the downward spiral? We’ve all experienced it first hand but how often? If you occasionally overextend yourself big whoop, it’s natural and human. But if you give more than you receive on a weekly basis it’s a problem. No fair to you! Perhaps it’s TIME for a New Years Resolution in March! What are your reflections on time management? Join me this weekend by planning the week ahead. I vow to shop smart, cut and wash my veggies ahead of time, store them in air tight containers so they last longer, write out some meal plans, soak and sprout my grains, beans and nuts, dust off my dehydrator, burn some incense and go for a very long and quiet walk… Maybe I’ll touch my toes too. Perhaps a bath. Edward (my elliptical) misses me terribly. I miss him too - sorta. Peace and minutes,rnKris
