Hey, Sis!
You know what today is?
Making Moves Monday!!!
So whether today is a Happy Monday for you
Or just another Mun Dayne?
This is your Moment!
And in this Moment, you get to choose how the rest of this day will play out.
Ready to dispel everything Routine
And leap into the Remarkable?
Today's word is Balancing Time.
We all have the same amount of it
And yet,
There are some who seem to get so much accomplished, almost effortlessly
Some who spend all day, 'multi-tasking' themselves to 'almost done' and 'still more to do's'
While some who seem to be barely moving at all,
but are content with doing 'just enough'
to accomplish their tasks of Today.
But when you BALANCE your time effectively,
You will find that 'Sweet Spot' of maximizing each area of Time
Developing the 'perfect' recipe
Of balanced proportions for Your schedule
Which allows you to become more dynamic in all areas of your life!
Sis, Are you Ready to Make a Move?
Then let's dive in!
CHECK IN #1: BALANCING Between Spending or Wasting TIME
Like money, time is a valuable resource.
People mistaken money to be our greatest asset,
But truth is, money comes and goes
Can be EARNED, SPENT, LOST, and REALLOCATED.
But once time is LOST,
You CAN NOT...Get.... It... Back
Which means, we must Balance between how we Spend our Time
So we don't become Guilty of Wasting our Time.
How you Spend your time, attests your Value Statement.
Time is NOT cheap.
So we should prefer to Spend it on things that matter.
Like with family
With close friends
Doing enjoyable things, things that benefit
Or things that bring Life to Us and Others!
However, when We engage in things that do the opposite,
Like Over-working
Overspending or Overeating
Gossiping, Complaining, Arguing...Facebooking
Engaging in behaviors that drain life from us or Others
Then We are actually Wasting Time,
That we Can't Get Back!
Ephesians 5: 15 -16 says:
' See that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the TIME for the days are evil"
Balancing Time, means we must actively CHOOSE
Where we place our efforts,
Whether You continue to Spend or Waste your TIME is up to You.
You know who you are, Sis!
It's time to Make A MOVE!
CHECK IN # 1: BALANCING Between Saving or Investing TIME
Financial Experts encourage us to build strong Financial Portfolio's
when we're young, so that we can EAT when we're old.
This concept of planning for a Future state of well-being
Is In-Genius!
Why wouldn't we want to INVEST our money
When we're Energetic enough to do more with our TIME...
So we can rest and live off the SAVINGS during our older less active years?
Time is the Same.
In fact, things seem to get better with TIME.
So, TIME is a commodity that must be SAVED and well INVESTED.
In order for us to cash in on the best RETURN.
The most common way we SAVE time, is by planning ahead
Procrastination is a DEFEATER of time.
But do you know a better way to SAVE time?
INVEST time in REST!
As a Single Mother, it was difficult for me
to both work full time and be the 'Soccer Mom'
But I knew this was an investment, with Massive impact
On both our FUTURES.
My children were COUNTING on me, to be THERE!
And they didn't ask to have only one parent
Anymore than I asked to be a Single Parent.
BUT!
If I would have prioritized, BUILDING my career as more Valuable
Than INVESTING in being at my Son's Baseball games
THEN, I would have missed the invaluable RETURN that this
Small INVESTMENT made in the life of me and my SON, today.
So how did I balance both?
REST.
More specifically, spending RESTFUL times with GOD.
Every Saturday, my house shuts down for a day of Rest.
No Tv, No Video Games, and No Loud Music.
And it was during these QUIET
FULL 24 hour day of REST
that my mind would be renewed
My body replenished
And my clarity was restored.
Which Rejuvenated my Energies Levels
And made me more equipped for the tasks to come
Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually.
So by me balancing in a day of REST
I was actually SAVING time.
Saving TIME from the sickroom
Saving TIME from the stress hall
SAVING by INVESTING in ME!
So, As we all start to RUN into Week
And We will!
With all the busyness of our demanding schedules
Please Remember today's Word: Balancing Time
Find your Sweet Spot, Ladies!
Develop that Recipe for Success
Become a MAXIMIZER of your TIME
Rise from Wasting to Spending,
Determine when to Save it or Invest It.
BUT whatever you do,
MAKE THAT MOVE!
Until next time...
