[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] Ready to stop the “I Don’t Have Enough Time” game?

I’m pretty busy these days! In addition to my regular coaching schedule and family priorities, I am filling two programs right now: the Ultimate Coach 9-week Weight Loss Coach Training Intensive and the O.W.L. Weight Loss Coach Certification & Training Program.

So you can understand why, when I woke up one morning last week, I did not think I had time to exercise. Do you do that too?

O.W.W.L. Success Tip: If you need an excuse, any excuse will do!

Yes, our excuses sound logical, especially the ones regarding not enough time or not enough money. But they are still excuses.

First, let’s get real about the fact that our perception of time is invented, by ourselves!

I remember reading in a magazine article a few years ago that the American culture is unique in its relationship with time, which is reflected by expressions that, for the most part, have no translation in other languages, such as “time-consuming, “”multitasking,” “getting to the point,” “deadline,” or “time is money.”

In contrast to our cultural beliefs, the Indians say, “Time is free”; the Africans say, “The clock did not invent man,” the Japanese expression is, “Time spent laughing is time spent with the Gods,” the Italians believe, “He who goes slowly, goes safely and goes far,” and the Spaniards say, “Those who rush arrive first — at the grave.”

What beliefs do you have about time? Who taught you those? What did it cost them? Do those beliefs serve you now? So if time is whatever you say, what are you doing with yours? Are your activities prioritized the same way as what’s really important to you? I for one do not want to be first at my grave, as the Spaniards say, so exercise is top priority for me. Well then, why not design my schedule to reflect that? If I did, I would not be saying in the morning, “I don’t have time to exercise!” Did I exercise that day? You bet!

Warmly,

P. S.
