I can only speak as a young woman in her 20’s, and I’ve noticed I spend my time recklessly.
You know how people say not to spend your money recklessly? I definitely did as a teenager and in my early years of college. Now, I feel like I have a good relationship with money.
I understand that money comes and goes. I understand my spiritual connection to it… in the way that I don’t fear spending money if it’s for a good cause. Even if that’s just sending a friend a care package or spending extra on a garment that’s made sustainably and ethically. I’ve learned the more I spend money with heart, the more it finds its way back to me.
But time… time I spend recklessly.
I love this world and I love every being (and inanimate object lol to stuffed animals that I can’t throw away), so it’s hard for me to put myself first. I easily get caught up in the fast paced current of this society. Jumping from one task to the next. It’s hard for me to set aside time for my soul.
I’m making a promise to myself, right here out in the open… that I will take the pay cut, walk away from the relationship, ignore the judgements and self doubt… in order to stay true to who I am and spend my time on what feeds my soul.
How have you been spending your time? Is there a promise that you can make for yourself? Feel free to write it here, out in the open, to hold yourself accountable.
