Time is the New Currency – by Dr. Jordin Wiggins ND

“I’m busy.”

An EXCUSE we tell ourselves to keep us in a state of OVERWHELM.

 

I hear it every day, “I don’t have enough time”. But we all have the same 86,400 seconds in

a day….

“I want to lose weight. But I don’t have time to exercise”.

“I want to eat healthier. But I don’t have time to prepare meals”.

“I want to stop being so stressed out. But I don’t have 15 minutes a day to meditate”.

 

Time has become one of the biggest excuses we use NOT to get things done.

 

What happens when our goals and actions are not aligned? That’s right, nothing!

 

If you want to keep feeling the way you are feeling, keep doing what you are doing.

Simple right? So, why is it so hard?

 

Keep reading for 3 easy tips to change your relationship with time, so you can start

achieving your health and wellness goals.

 

  1. SHED THE BELIEF THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TIME

    When you have a month to do something it will take a month, but if you have a week, it will

    get done in a week. Doesn’t make sense right? Ever notice there are those people that

    seem to get 1000 things done before you have had your morning coffee and checked

    Facebook?

    The concept of time, much like the rest of our reality, is in our minds. Let’s make time work

    for you, instead of being a slave to it. Stop viewing time within the confines of a limiting

    spectrum by:

    • Get a planner – Take 20 minutes and write down all your important meetings,

    dates and appointments. Do it now! If you respect time, it will respect you. I

    absolutely love my Passion Planner.

    • Put down the phone/tablet/laptop – Depending on which reference you read, the

    average person spends 45-90minutes a day on social media! Wait what? That’s

    time to meal prep, get in a quick work out and meditate! We get into bad habits,

    and most of the time we do not even realize we are doing it. Try turning off your

    Internet or phone while you are working on something you need to get done.

  2. JUST. DO. ONE. THING. AT. A. TIME.

    It is often overwhelming when you look at everything you have to do all at once. However,

    when you break it down into smaller chunks, suddenly things become more manageable.

    • Grab a piece of paper and list every To-Do rattling around in your brain.I

    mean everything!

    • Now highlight what needs to get done today, this week, this month in

    different colours.

    • All you need to focus on is what needs to get done today.

     

    For an alternative perspective you can look at Stephen Covey’s Time Management Matrix.

    Or read his books First Things First or 7 Habits of Highly Effective people.

  3. TAKE BRAIN BREAKS

    For some reason we believe, if we stop everything will fall apart. A had a professor tell me

    this is not only unhealthy, it is also arrogant. It was one of those “Ah-ha” moments. The

    world will not stop if I take time off! I see it with my patients, but it was difficult for me to

    realize myself. If you do not stop, eventually the body will do it for you, by making you sick.

    Stress is a contributing factor in many chronic illnesses. So start taking time to:

    • Take breaks throughout the day – eat meals. Drink water. Stretch. Go for a short walk.

    • Schedule something in your calendar that you enjoy doing at least once a week.

    • Plan a vacation. Or a stay-cation.

    Breaks don’t make us lazy, incapable or inefficient. In fact, it is the opposite.

 

So there you have it. Start a healthier relationship with time.

 

Delete the words “I don’t have time” from your vocabulary, to start becoming a happier

healthier and more fulfilled you!

Now that you have more time… let’s do something with it!

 

IT’S SIMPLE.
