Today my little Annie turned 13. Born 920gms and 10 weeks early, Michael and I marveled all weekend about where that time went. Of course when we started thinking about it, soooo much has happened in that 13 years. If we review the flow of time, we can see exactly where it went and what it was filled with.
I’m learning a lot about time. I feel pushed around by it, and I have frequently underestimated how long a task or commitment is going to take. In fact this lesson is one of my biggest. I like to do what I say I will do, and I am constantly re-negotiating the time-frame of a promised task or an idea that I have.
What I notice most is that sometimes when we allocate a time do a task, the energy, focus and creativity required might not be available or in alignment at that moment. Hence artists who write music at 3am or whenever it flows.
This month I have made a conscious effort to shift my attitude toward time and deadlines. I have asked myself questions, like if that doesn’t happen when, what’s the worst that can happen. I have given up the control and gone more with the flow and what I am delightedly learning is that when I have been doing that this month, I often get a better outcome than what I was aiming for.
I keep being pleasantly surprised, and of course the more that this is happening, the more I am trusting the process. You see ‘trust’ is the main component. Not the time. It’s the trusting of myself, trusting in the process and trusting in the universe. I’m trusting everything is in perfect timing and everything will work out for the highest good. This is not only working but it’s liberating and I’m feeling way less stress and pressure. Try it yourself, let the time pressure go and see how you feel.
Until next week, Much love and hugs
Andy
