151. Get Snobby With Your Time

You have 24 hours in your day. Are you spending those hours in a way that honors your goals, desires, and happiness? You get to choose how you spend your time. It’s time to reevaluate what matters most and get snobby with your time.   Time Traps That Steal Your Time Social media Relationships Intrusive Thoughts All-or-None Thinking Mental, Emotional, & Physical Wellness   Your Time and Your Core Desires When it comes to getting snobby with your time, it’s vital that you identify where your time goes each day. Take some time to plot out your day and see what’s taking up your time. Do these things align with your desires? If there are time traps, like social media or relationships that don’t bring you joy, consider how you can replace those. While I often talk about social media as a distraction, not all distractions are wrong – so long as they come with boundaries. Setting yourself healthy boundaries on the things that don’t serve your higher desires allows you the freedom to still experience them without eating up your valuable time. I like to relate everything to my core desires. When you know what you truly desire, it’s much easier to align your time to meet your goals. Identifying your core desires is essential.   Reevaluate Your Time Traps Another big time trap is spending time in relationships that don’t serve you. I recommend limiting the time you spend with people who leave you feeling drained, who don’t uplift you, or who otherwise don’t align with your core desires. The other time traps are intrusive thoughts, all-or-none thinking, and your physical, emotional, and mental wellness. We waste so much time in thought spirals. How much better for your entire life would it be if you didn’t waste your time in these negative thought loops? It is not selfish to get snobby with your time. There are so many advantages to getting snobby with your time. Are you willing to keep taking from yourself? Give yourself a chance to discover what happens when you become snobby with your time. Where are you losing the most time? How can you be more intentional with your time?
