There is never enough time
1. Is it true?
Oh gosh, it sure feels like it!
2. Can you absolutely know that it is true?
Well, I should add There is never enough time for the things I want, should, or need to do.
I still want to say yes. Well, actually sometimes there is enough time. But boy, I still am pretty convinced. Ok, I’ll leave room for doubt.
3. How do you react when you think that thought?
I am greedy for time. I am stingy, a time miser. I don’t want to give up time. I feel bothered by phone calls or long emails.
I see this image of holding onto a ball and people trying to take it away from me. I scratch and I scream. I throw myself on top of the ball with my whole body, so nobody can get it, and then all these people take it from me at once. I feel hopeless. I feel angry. I feel tight and closed up.
With the thought: stress, tension, separation.
4. Who would you be without the thought?
Oh boy, this one is so hard. I can’t even begin to step into that one. But ok, let’s try.
Without that thought I wouldn’t have an idea of what I should be doing or need to be doing. There would only be what I AM doing.
There would be peace. I would be relaxed. I would be led by what is showing up in my life. I would be moved, sort of like I am not doing it but I am just witnessing where I am moving.
Turnarounds:
There is always enough time.
- For all the things that need to get done. Because if they didn’t get done they didn’t need to get done. I mean look at where I am today! I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. And I am here with all the times that I didn’t get everything done.
- For everything that is necessary to be on the path I am. No more and no less. Ooooh, what if I really trusted that?
Ok, the time issue is still a big one. I want to try tackling it another way. More to come…
