I'm reflecting right now on how I spend my time.
Our lives are made up of just moments..... that add up to time. So how we spend those moments are incredibly important, I think.
I'm considering, very carefully and very cautiously, how I choose to spend my time. As much as I work hard to not be overscheduled, I find myself there once again. No matter how much or how little I work.
What things are absolutely critical? For me having a balance in my life is most important. A balance between eating well, exercising, sleeping, and doing those things I enjoy most like spending time with family and friends, reading, cooking and doing an art project.
Taking the time to say "no" to things you don't really feel are a priority is the first step. Don't make decisions out of guilt.
Being under scheduled is under valued.
As the Chinese proverb says, "Outside noisy, inside empty."
Good reminder. I find myself thinking more that it's not just another day. It's a day of my life gone. And I'm probably on the downside, so each one should be precious.
