CREATING 'SPACE' IN TIME
I have been the Queen of Worry for 42 years.
I have had to learn, and still am learning to, express myself in a loving way.
So, with that in mind, I have been practicising with my words and have come up with a time management "tool". I leave it here so that maybe you will be inspired, should you come recognize, that you may be having this challenge also.
It truly has lifted the "worries" away.
Again, using the Law of 3. Create a TODAY list.
At the beginning of each week I write on a piece of paper for each day.
Using the most imminent (scale of 1 - 10 least to most important), I create time and "space" for each day. I work it using the law of three. But I address myself first. Knowing that in caring for "self" we care for others.
For example:
Monday
P(hysical)
What do I require on a physical level. i.e. eat 3 meals and 3 snacks
E(motional)
What do I require on an emotional level. i.e. something is bothering me and I need to express a "need" (which I now call requirement because needs create neediness). Practise Expressing a need to a "safe" person, and soon you will be expressing yourself in a healthy way ALL THE TIME.
S(piritual)
What does my own Spirit require? i.e a good laugh, a snuggly blanket.
Then, at the bottom, I leave room for the most important errands or tasks that day or the next. i.e. if I have dishes falling behind, I will take 15 minutes (the law of 3 - Three 5's) and dedicate to such things as chores.
And I add things according to importance i.e. what can wait until tomorrow, and what can't. i.e. an appointment happening on Thursday and at what time.
Write them down on those days. This leaves you with the ability to "manage" mankind's creation of "time". You have "time" for an appointment, you have "time" for yourself.
The most important part, leave space in time. It creates the ability to create a space of self care (nurturing spirit), it creates arriving on time, etc.
I think you get the drift.
I am going to go now, and enjoy my "space" in time.
