Are You Controlled by Time, or Aligned With It?
Time. It’s the one thing we all wish we had more of. Yet, no matter how much we plan, schedule, or hustle, most of us still feel like we’re racing against the clock. But what if the real issue isn’t how much time we have… but how we think about time?
In today’s post, we’re diving deep into the time scarcity mindset—and how to break free from it. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a busy parent, or someone who simply feels like there’s never enough time in the day, this is for you.
Why “I Don’t Have Enough Time” Might Be a Belief, Not a Fact
Many of us unconsciously treat time like a taskmaster. We measure our worth by how much we’ve accomplished. We feel behind if we’re not constantly checking off a to-do list. And we buy into the belief that being busy means being valuable.
But here’s the truth: “I don’t have enough time” is often another way of saying “I’m not enough unless I’m achieving something.”
That belief creates burnout, anxiety, and a deep sense of dissatisfaction even when we’re reaching our goals.
Shift #1: Become a Time Expander
Want to feel like you have more time? It starts with presence.
When we’re fully in the moment, in our bodies, in our breath, time feels like it slows down. Think about how time feels different on vacation, during a walk in nature, or while enjoying a great conversation. Those moments feel expansive because we’re not focused on the past or future we’re just here.
Try This:
-
Ask yourself: “Where are my feet?” This simple question helps shift your awareness into the now.
-
Use your five senses to ground yourself. This technique can ease anxiety and stop racing thoughts.
-
Set a presence reminder—a few times each day, take one minute to reset and reconnect.
Shift #2: Milestones vs. Moments
We spend so much time chasing goals. But are we enjoying the process?
Here’s a powerful question:
Would you rather have a wildly successful business five years from now, or enjoy every single day of the next five years while building something meaningful?
So many of us are taught to live for the next milestone. But real peace, fulfillment, and alignment don’t live at the finish line. They live in the way we show up right now.
Time Isn’t the Enemy—It’s the Mirror
Time isn’t out to get you; your mindset about time shapes how you experience it. When you stop treating time as something to conquer—and start honoring it as a space to live, feel, and create, you unlock a more powerful, joyful way of life.
So let’s end with this reflection:
Are you always trying to “get there,” or are you entirely here?
Because the life you love isn’t waiting in the future.
It’s already unfolding in this very moment.
