Time expands and there's always time

My mantra for tackling limiting belief #2: 'I don't have the time'

I had a baby a few months ago, and boy are newborns intensive on a mama's time!

I was so solely focused on my baby girl for a few months there that when she started sleeping through the night, and I got some personal time back, I didn't really know what to do with it!

The juggle is definitely real - any child under 5 is pretty demanding on your time for attention. But I got into the habit of thinking - ' I have a baby, therefore I don't have enough time' when the reality of my situation was probably more like ' I have a baby, while she is very very demanding on my time at the beginning, every month she becomes less demanding on my time. By asking for support, I can free up more time for other things I want to fit into my life. By focussing on what's important to me, I can free up more time for the things that are a priority. And lastly, by being honest with myself, I can choose to simply do less and enjoy the moments with my baby. I don't have to have multiple identities all at once unless I want that.'

There's an infinity in every second if you choose to savour it. Time is relative and it will expand (ironically) as you slow down.

Why? How? Because the less stressed version of you will act with deliberate purpose, clarity and integrity which will allow you to act upon the things that bring you joy and the things you truly prioritise. All the rest is bullshit background noise.

Once you drop the extra stuff in your life, you will have plenty of time.

Extra stuff like, doing things you feel obligated to do, but don't actually want to.

Doing things that aren't fun to you but that could be taken off your hands for a relatively small fee.

Racing against time - a woman's biological clock

What about the feeling of racing against biological time? Like having all the kids you want, before you can't, or doing all the things you want before you die?

The answer is still clarity will bring you back more time.

In terms of the biological clock, yes there may be scientific limitations to physically birthing a child so it's up to us to be open-minded through the journey.

1. Be clear about your preferences - why do you want children? how many? how do you want to structure your family? Do you prefer to be in a loving relationship first? What do you want to achieve in your life?

2. Once you're clear about your preferences, start taking actionable steps to achieve them

3. Although, you're taking actionable steps to achieve your preferences, be open-minded to structuring your life in a different way
