Is There Time ?

There always seems to be this idea that there is not enough time to put into ourselves while devoting time to others. For example we seem to help Employers, Friends, Family, Volunteering and lets not forget commuting ( we have to get there some how. Not saying that these are bad habits. It has always been encouraged to retain some sort of social interaction.

The practice that I try to follow is not doing a bad thing twice that is how habits are formed. For example: If I smash and ice cream or a bag of chips to my face I will not lay on the couch for the rest of the day or watch t.v for the next few hours. To offset the not so good habits it is best create some good ones. Like going for a run, walk, exercise or prepare a healthy lunch for your next day to work. Its all about balancing life in good measure.

There are situations where we maybe to busy or there is not enough time in the day for any of this to be possible and this is very common for a lot of people. The best place to start is to understand what your motivation and the endgame.

For me I understand that I cannot have more time in on this earth but we can slow it down. As far as exercise I built a home gym in my basement because lets admit it the prices of gym memberships since covid have increased to a point were im like " Whats the point". So during the time where all the gym were closed I added as the time went on.

As for nutrition and healthy eating I tend to cook in bulk and prepare cut veg ahead of time. Onions diced carrots chopped and garlic minced. I would also cook a pot of tomato sauce and keep in the fridge and add it to anything like pasta, chicken, fish or anything that suits your needs. Also it is a lot more motivating to prepare something for your self when it is already half way done. I always opt for preparing something for myself instead of buying something from the food court that is loaded with salt and other ingredients that I cannot pronounce.

The other part that I try to make time for is family. And again with the hustle and bustle of life where is the time. You have to make the time even when you get home from work after a nine to five and your son or daughter rushes the door asking you to take them to the park even though we don't want to it cuz we wanna chill on the couch and netflix and chill it is our job to join them in the things that they want to do and I am one to believe that all of this is not to be taken for granted. Teaching children how to be reasonable is a life long skill that they have to inherit. For example: " Can you help me with dinner first" or " Can you tell me about your day at school". Not saying these examples are bullet proof but you get the idea lol.

This blog is not in no means preaching about what we can do better or to critisize how others live their lives. Its just to say let prioritize what make us happy and brings us true fulfillment. Just remember the we are all born a time billionaire but we all die time bankrupt. Not sure who came up with that bit I thought it was a fitting to close with it lol

Peace, Stay Fresh
