As I sit down to write this – I wonder where so much time has gone… I try not to set stringent deadlines for myself as these inadvertently create stress and personal pressure even though deadlines are set with positive intentions. To do lists are a part of my daily planning, yet weeks might go by before I feel I have a clear head-space to actually produce quality for something other than work. Yet does work not suffer when we don’t make time to fuel ourselves?
I always play with that “fine line” we speak of – how much socializing is actually healthy, how much alcohol is okay? Is sleeping in a sign of laziness? How much procrastination is okay? Truth is, there are no answers to these, or any questions you might be seeking an answer for – since we are each unique beings, the answer that is right for you, is the answer that comes from you, after the question comes through you! This is a process we follow in order to sift and sort through our life’s experiences.
The key, I have learnt, is to accept yourself and your choices – if you socialize and have one too many causing you to sleep in instead of waking early to complete a task you set, so what? As long as you had a good time and added to the experience of others having a good time, then why not? It is our mind that conditions us to look back and judge ourselves for something that has already passed, but it is a task in futility and one which does not aid personal growth.
I listened to an Abraham Hicks talk online the other day that said something pivotal for me which I would like to share – you have a built in guidance system and it speaks to you through your feelings. If you feel good in the moment, do it, if you ever feel bad in the moment it is an indication of you going against your essential nature in that moment. We are brought up to consider everything before us, but this is actually a different truth to the one our spirit wants us to uphold.
So go ahead, feel good and do whatever you want, because time passes any way… whether you spend yours happily or sadly, is entirely your choice… <3
