Possibly every week.
I could write books, train for marathons, and have a clean house if only I took my time more seriously.
Now this isn't supposed to be a guilt trip to get you to stop watching the Bachelorette. Nor will I try to stop you from flipping on Facebook for the tenth time today.
Just notice it. Notice the time slipping away every single day. How many times do you see someone post photos of their kids asking where the time goes? It happens all the time.
So, just for today, commit to stopping for one minute and just paying attention to what is going on around you. Don't try to change or fix anything, just notice it. The one thing I've notice this past week is that the problem isn't that I don't have enough time... I don't make enough time.
I don't take my priorities seriously and haven't for a long time. I'm too busy trying to comfort myself from daily life instead of getting on with what I'm supposed to be doing.
The best thing about a birthday (or any big event) is the clarity that comes along, and I really try to make each year better. I know this year's focus is going to be on time management and paying attention to what makes me feel good and what things can go.
It's a little like New Year's Eve for me tonight, without all the winter and regrets. I look forward to 47 29 again this year and looking forward to making it the best one yet.
Happy Birthday to me :)
