What’s your hurry?

“But Kim, I just don’t have enough time.”

I hear that a lot. I used to be the chief of that club…you know, the Not Enough Time club?

Then I realized a few things.

1. I have as much time in a day as every other person on earth (24 hours).
2. I actually waste A LOT of time doing useless stuff (like spending 3 hours on social media, or 2 hours trying to get a blog post perfect.)
3. My priorities set my time, get my priorities straight and I will always have enough time to do what I want to.
4. I choose HOW I use my time.
   
5. What’s the hurry?

I had the belief that life was a race and that I had to get everything done BEFORE I could relax and be happy. In fact, until a few years ago, that song by Alabama, “I’m in a hurry,’ was my theme song.

“I rush and rush until life is no fun. All I really gotta do is live and die, but I’m in a hurry and don’t know why…”

Yep that was me.

Then I realized that my sense of urgency was from a place of fear. In fact, it was a HUGE limiting belief, that I had to ‘escape.’ I had to escape something I didn’t like, so I put a lot of pressure on myself to get away from it. Well that had the opposite effect, and then I beat myself up because I couldn’t get everything done. I was so busy ‘trying to get things done so I could live life’ that I wasn’t living life and it certainly wasn’t fun.

Then I looked closer and behind that limiting belief I saw fear.

Fear of missing out.

Fear of falling behind.

Fear of ‘not enough for me.’

And I realized that the person who sets the tone and pace of my life is ME. No one else. Not my coach. Not my spouse. Not my clients…ME.

And so I ask you NOT to do the same. Set a pace of life that fits you.

Don’t believe the hype that you will miss out on something and that you must hurry. If you feel a real calling to do something do, don’t get trapped in that fear ball either…but don’t do something soley for the reason that you *might* miss out.

There is more than enough.

There is an abundance of opportunity.

And you are just fine right as you are.
