Limitless Dragon Newsletter #16
(click here for original formatting)
Greetings beautiful soul,
Welcome to my newsletter... a weekly exploration of what's alive for me, what topics I am working through, with tools to navigate the times we are in and overall some food for thought.
⏳ Time scarcity… What is it, how does it work and what to do about it?
Are you constantly rushing?
Always feel like there aren't enough hours in the day?
Have 20 tabs open at once both on your laptop but also in your brain?
Feel like literally everything is absolutely urgent?
Are you rushing around but actually never seem to have time to catch-up with friends?
Do you feel like time is slipping through your fingers?
You're not alone (it takes one to know one)!
I am guilty of trying to do 5 things at once - planning a yoga class while making dinner while replying to messages, while... you know how it is :D
And here's the thing - none of those tasks get my full attention, and I end up feeling scattered and like I haven't really accomplished anything, even though I've been "busy" all day.
So what's actually happening here?
False sense of urgency - unless you're actively in danger, it's very likely that nothing is actually urgent (or that at least not EVERYTHING is urgent all at once)
A lack of prioritisation - as above - we can't actually multitask (no one can, just some of us are better at switching rapidly from one task to the other… that doesn't mean more or better quality tasks are being accomplished - possibly the opposite is true.)
A lack of presence - we're doing one task but thinking about what we need to do next. Never really noticing what's happening, not having the satisfaction of being immersed in a single thing or the pleasure of having finished a task. The tasklist is endless and therefore there is no finishing line.
What do we do about it?
When your mind is spinning on 5 different things, take a breath and notice… what's actually here, how important is it, how important is it right now?
Find what the ONE action you can do right now is and do that! That one single thing!
Be present with what you're doing! When we are truly present with a single task we enter what's called a flow state, a term defined by the psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi (and yes, I just wanted to put the name here, because it's cool) as an optimal state of consciousness where a person is completely absorbed in an activity, feeling energized, focused, and enjoying the process itself, with time seeming to disappear.
Put yourself first - this one is a fun one to say especially to new parents and especially around Xmas time - but really! Do one thing that will make you feel present and good in your body! ONE! (Ideally daily but at least once a week.)
It's time (pun intended) we stop being slaves to a construct we've invented. Take your time back, notice the pause between your breaths and rest there for a second.
What helps YOU slow down when life feels frantic? Hit reply and let me know - I'd love to hear what's working for you.
Sending you lots of love in this time of frantic busyness.
PS - If you found this helpful, my Luscious cacao ceremonies for couples are all about slowing down and being present together. DM me if you're curious 🤎
