Compassionate reality makes all the difference.
But what do I mean by that?
Well, following outmoded scripts about time management can feel like a daylong trudge in shoes that don’t fit. That’s because time paradigms that lack compassion lack insight.
Enlisting the power of compassionate reality, on the other hand, will quickly recharge your decisiveness and productivity.
How this helps:
If any of these 3 myths dominate your thinking about finding time, adopt a more realistic and compassionate perspective to get the results you want:
Myth #1:
“If I keep running faster, I’ll eventually catch up!”
Compassionate Reality #1:
“If you can’t keep pace with your expectations, develop new, attainable standards.”
This helps return your focus to working well, rather than obsessing on what might pass you by. If you make time choices that are true to who you are, you will never be left behind. Slow and steady wins the race.
Myth #2:
“I should just do what (X) does – which means I should be like (X).”
Compassionate Reality #2:
“Success begins with actively appreciating who you are.”
Start by affirming your personal progress. Then focus on your capability to create a time schedule that meets your unique needs. Consider others as gifts in your life, not standards to live up to. The more you affirm your actual strengths, the more effectively you will relate to your time challenges. Your decisions will more consistently address your actual needs. As you directly benefit from these choices, you generate a positive cycle of realistic assessment and decisive self-confidence.
Myth #3:
“Cutting out time for personal fulfillment will give me time to get everything taken care of.”
Compassionate Reality #3:
Meeting your own needs is the cornerstone of good decision-making. Successful time management requires clarifying priorities. Only then can you act decisively. You make your best decisions when you are rested, reasonably relaxed, and feeling secure within yourself. So treat yourself as a finely calibrated instrument. The more attuned you remain to the ever-changing world around you and to your own changing needs, the better use you’ll make of your time. Furthermore, the more you enjoy life’s small pleasures, the more easily you can simplify your schedule without feeling deprived.
So, how will you enlist the power of compassionate reality, starting today?
