How Are Your Viewing Your Time?Written by Eric Plantenberg
Continued from page 1
None of your other commodities regenerate themselves. If lose your money, it is gone until you earn it again. If you ruin a friendship, they aren’t guaranteed to return. When you health is compromised, it takes an incredible effort to restore it. When you waste your time you lose opportunity alone, not its future value. What other commodity can you completely waste or abuse and wake up next morning with a replenished supply? This is not to say your time isn’t precious. I would agree 100% that your time is one of your most valued resources. That doesn’t mean it has to be limited. Our greatest intangible resources are never limited - they just require focused energy to be harnessed. My best advice is to ask yourself what is source of your mindset about your time. When did you first start feeling overwhelmed? What actions could you take TODAY to start creating positive momentum? What are your priorities? When is last time you created a TO DON’T list? That’s right, a list all things you need to STOP doing to waste your precious day and get you off track. Have fun, take control of your life, and… Be FREE!

The 5 pounds you can’t seem to lose are just a ball of fat . . . not a moral failure. You know what to do – eat less, move more. So get moving . . . and Q-Tip It! The kids who don’t call often enough probably really ARE busy (and didn’t you raise them to be independent?). Q-Tip It! The colleague who consistently says you’re doing something all wrong is telling you more about her needs than about your way of doing things. Q-Tip It! Got a spouse (or friend, or child) who seems always to ignore things you say? Odds are she/he is hard of hearing, forgetful, or caught up in her own priorities rather than trying to drive you nuts. Q-Tip It! ______________________________________________ (fill in your own stressors – and Q-Tip It!) You get picture . . . and image, too. Stress is not what happens to us. It’s our response TO what happens. And RESPONSE is something we can choose. So – Q-Tip It! Let Mr. Gerstenzang’s little white-tipped tool be a memory-hook, a way to ease your personal stress reactions, way YOU choose to respond to happenings of your days. © Maureen Killoran, SpiritQuest Coaching, 2004
