“TIME” IN PERSPECTIVE

​

One of the factors that inspired ROYL was the recognition that we spend so. much. time. in. our. heads. as we navigate life - especially when it comes to navigating change. 

 

Like, SOOO. much. time. 

 

We fixate, ruminate, cycle, recycle, imagine a thousand different scenarios and outcomes and all the ways that those scenarios and outcomes could either “work out” or not “work out” and everything in-between… 

 

We spend immeasurable moments mentally weighing the pros and cons - which seems important and productive - but usually leads us into a log jam of analysis paralysis, or “what if”s, or P&L doomsday scenarios, or we get hijacked by a sudden gremlin (or ten) that shuts down the whole party and perpetually puts it off until “later”. 

 

Rinse and repeat…

 

Until something, at some point, somehow moves us into action. 

 

Or not. 

 

And time continues to flow by as we carry on in the day-to-day of our holding pattern.

 

Point being: we spend so much time living in our heads - oftentimes unproductively wandering around in a mental time+energy vortex - instead of living in the adventure of our lives. 

 

Even though the amount of time we spend wandering around preoccupied with “trying to figure it out” or “trying to convince ourselves to do the thing” is technically unquantifiable, it is low key pretttty damn time-consuming. 

 

I share this perspective to illuminate the often-overlooked time and energy cost of going it alone or without guidance, and to remind us that the left-hemisphere will literally create imaginary scenarios in effort to “solve” and “control” the unknowns of change (and take our nervous system along for the ride), and this ultimately renders us less capable of accessing important context, connections, inner grounding, and intuitive guidance that the right hemisphere has access to.

 

Bottom line: the “time commitment” in trying to navigate the terrain of life and change on your own and/or without guidance+resources is a drain. 

 

On the other hand: when we do have guidance, support, and access to a greater understanding of how we work, what we really want, and the inner+outer resources for getting there, we give ourselves access to our most thrive-oriented faculties, which is obviously suuuuper helpful for tapping into clarity, inspiration, and motivation as we navigate our evolution.

 

Ok. Down to brass tacks ;)
