The most precious resource we have is our time.

You’re not seeing things, I truly did type that twice.

Through tragic events that occurred in my circle ⭕️ of relationships I realize now more than ever our time is finite. What I know for sure, is that consciousness and time are intricately intertwined.
Every day is a choice.
Every moment you have a choice.
What do you choose?
What are Discounts?
Discounts are instances in which we “overlook” or shortchange” our needs; in order to allow focus and attention on others.
How Do they Show up?
Let me give you a few examples:
- Using “Sure” “Ok” or ” “I guess so” when you really want to say NO!
- Working on someone else’s goals, and not giving any attention to yours
- Putting the needs of others over yours at the expense of yourself or your health
- Working over and above at your job with no set stop and start work hours to the detriment of your family.
How Do I Eliminate the Discounts?
1. Listen to your intuition
Author Melody Wilding provides clear tangible ways to listen to your intuition instead of fear in her book Trust Yourself.
I’m leading a group of individuals from our department at work through a deep dive book review. The depth of content in this book made it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read.
“While fear’s voice is critical, intuition’s is encouraging and a reflection of deeper wisdom. Intuition urges you to shine, move at your own pace, and pursue what you need – even if that’s different from what the majority would choose.”
2. Set Boundaries
- Set routines for yourself both personally snd professionally. These routines will help you protect your peace proactively.
- Yes, there are times routines are interrupted. This is a natural part of life. But if they are ALWAYS interrupted then something deeper is going on. It’s time to take a step back and understand why.
3. Slow Down
- We often speed through life from point A to Point B. We don’t give ourselves the opportunity to slow down enough to think through each choice consciously.
- One way I force myself to slow down is the “pause button”. Before I say yes, or any answer in regards to my time I take a breath and a moment. I tell myself:
If the discount is too great, I decline. It’s just not worth it.
In closing, unlike other posts this one is not power packed full of research or data, but rather, I really want you to listen to your heart on how discounts are showing up in your life. Knowing is truly step one.
In peace,
J
