How much time do you invest in your life, in your marriage, in your kids, your job and your friends?
I
No, don't mean that you have to calculate how many minutes or hours you use at different things. But have you ever stopped up and noticed if you are on autopilot or if you control and pay attention to what you do?
How often do you find yourself missing the exit sign on the highway, go to the kitchen and don't remember what your where to do. How much time do you need to think about how to eat, how to breath or how to drink. All this you do on autopilot. Have you ever tried to be there when you do this. Next time you will eat, try to notice how it feels, how the different tasts are, how the smell is, how the content is. Be aware of where you are and what you do. You will probably have a new experience. If you have kids, do you really listen or are you just there giving them the autopilot response.
If you set time to invest in yourself you don't need more time in a day. But you have to be more aware of what you do when you do it. Be there, experience what happens and what it makes you feel. If it feels god, love it. If it do not feel good. Find out why it does not. Pay attention to what makes you glad, do more of it. If it makes you unhappy, try something different. If you continue doing what you do you will end up where you are. Change your pattern, try new things. Try communicate with other words. Try doing things different. Get to know who you are, what you feel and what you want.
