Use Your Time Wisely…Does This Really Mean What You Think It Does?
Summer has a way of creating possibility. Typically, the calendar isn’t so packed. Evenings stretch a little longer. We imagine this is finally the time to tackle everything we've been postponing. After all, you want to use your time wisely, and that means accomplishing something like:
- Creating a new online course
- Organizing your office
- Bringing a new business idea to life
- Writing the book
- Adopting a healthier routine
- Reading the stack of books waiting on the nightstand
For women who are driven and deeply committed to living meaningful lives, free time can quickly become another project to manage. Without realizing it, we carry an invisible list of who we think we should become if only we had enough time.
Many women have come to believe that emotional well-being means feeling happy, calm, confident, and positive most of the time. So when anxiety appears, when grief lingers, or when uncertainty settles in, they assume something is wrong.
This may surprise you: There’s a vast difference between having centering practices and being a centered person. A centering practice can regulate your nervous system for a few minutes. An embodied center changes who you are under pressure. A centering practice is something you do. An embodied center is how you live.
