If you find yourself wanting to make a change in your life but are struggling to find time, then this article is for you.
"Time is our most valuable resource-We don't get to choose if we spend it or not- but we do get to choose how we spend it." - Rob Stanish, Mindset Coach
With that said, thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read this. This is the Walk You Through It Blog where I take you with me on a journey through things I've struggled with and together we walk through how to overcome them and move forward.
Stop lying to yourself.
I'm going to start here. Progress starts when the bullshit stops. If you are finding yourself saying "I don't have time" what that really means is that it's not a priority to you. If something truly matters to you then you will make time for it. It's that simple.
"I don't have time for that" is just an excuse. It let's us off the hook. Just by making a simple shift, from "I don't have time" to "It's not a priority right now", allows us to be more honest with ourselves. Once we can see that we're not making the thing we desire a priority, we can really start to figure out why and do something about it.
take a look.
I want you to become more aware about how you are currently spending your time. Don't change anything to your daily routine. Just track it. See what you are doing each day and for how long. There's power in seeing where you currently are.
Once you've got an idea of how your spending your time then you can see what is taking priority right now. I want you to ask yourself if the things you are doing are aligned with who you want to be? If you want to be healthy, but you're prioritizing television over going for a walk then is that aligned with who you'd like to be? I think not.
Again, we need to get honest with ourselves about where we are actually at.
Make a decision.
It's time for you to decide. It's your choice whether you have time or not. Like I said before, we make time for our priorities. If you are ready for change and willing to make it a priority then now is your chance to decide, act, and commit. You've made the decision to change that habit, lose that weight, stop smoking, spend more time with your kid, be a better partner. Whatever that decision is I want you to act right now. Think of one thing you can do right now and do it. Then think of something you can do each day to keep you on track and commit to doing it. Tell someone about your decision to change and ask them to keep you accountable, hire a coach, or write it down in a journal. There's power in writing out our goals and decisions.
Thanks for reading! See you next Sunday at 6am EST.
