Become Time Conscious. ⏳
Learn to live with time, not kill it.
It's so easy for time to slip through our fingers. Time really does fly.
Doing a time and/or life audit is a beautiful practice to carry throughout the year. Each month, quarter, or season is an excellent opportunity to evaluate, course correct and enhance whatever you have going.
The most important relationship I have is with with the Creator. When busy-ness consumes us, it’s natural to pull away from God and focus outward. Cultivate the ritual of communing with God, asking how and where you need to move and grow.
At the start of the month, write down, on paper, preferably in the same book, what you’d like to accomplish with and for your family, health, finances, etc., as well as the steps needed to meet those goals.
Resting isn’t just about sleeping. It’s relaxing to recreate! Plan rituals--these or your own--throughout the month that allow you to nourish yourself and restore your soul.
I decided to add creativity back into my life. One month I learned how to refurbish furniture, another, painting pottery. This year, gardening and sewing are on the agenda. Choose something you would like to learn or improve and go for it.
When you’re ahead of the game with your finances, you are setting yourself up for success. Create, and/or review your income and outgo to make sure you are on track.
At the end or start of every month, set a reminder on your phone to de-clutter your email and phone inboxes. Delete, answer, or unsubscribe. Start the month with a clean slate.
Set aside an hour each Sunday to plan your week. At the end or top of each month, review the past months’ wins and misses. This will allow you to stay focused, be present, and move forward.
These simple acts of self recognition and healing will make the best use of the valuable time you have. Don’t let your time slip away unconsciously. Own it!
Activating just 1 of these 7 keys will help you stay organized, focused, and add time to your rest bank. Paying attention to your self will create room for the peace and joy you desire. ⏳
