Are You Using Your Time Well?

This is a question we often ask ourselves, but in this case I do not mean ‘are you running yourself into the ground trying to fit everything and everyone that you ‘should’ into your day?’ 

What I am asking is “what are you doing with the Spaces In-between?”

Within the pauses, the sitting in traffic, the travelling on the train, the waiting patiently to be a patient in the drs waiting room….. Is where transformation occurs.

Perhaps it is merely that we stop long enough for us to catch up with ourselves at these moments….. All the echoes of decisions past & actions initiated have time to make themselves at home within us.

These pauses are essential to our integration. Just ‘being’ is not much encouraged in this society. We are a nation of ‘doers’. This is played on by corporations who wish to capitalise on our natural impatience….

…. But when we give in to buying and quick-fixing, what we actually surrender is far more than our cash.

What we give away is our autonomy and our ability to ‘sit with something’ until we find our authentic solution.

So next time you are ‘stuck’ somewhere…. Bumper to bumper or waiting your turn, you have a choice ….. Will you engage with the frustration and seethe, or will you instead engage with the here and now, take a deep breath, and just ‘be’ for a minute or two……?

There is always a choice……
