Happiness as a choice: Timing yourself

Timing yourself

“The right thing at the wrong tme is the wrong thing.”
― Joshua Harris, I Kissed Dating Goodbye: A New Attitude Toward Relationships and Romance

Time has become one of the most important things in our daily life, we need it to plan our day, to visit a friend, to pick up the phone, to text back to our lover...everything is based upon time...

Biggest problem is that we waste most of it...we come back home, switch on TV and get addicted to... Let’s relax 10 mins..take it easy....we open a bottle of beer and enjoy it in front of a football match...time goes and our plans too!!

This is how our day goes... We cannot even realize that, but we are already laying on our bed and turning off our last light...that’s it!

How many things are you doing in one day?

I suggest you to write your daily activities down.... Waking up at 7.00 am., washing my face, having a quick breakfast, walking down the stairs and driving to work...

Lunch time, driving back home or to restaurant, having some food and a quick chat, than back to work again....

6-7.00 p.m. Driving back home, quick dinner and TV, than sleeping..

OK, OK in between you have been once in the Gym, once by our friend, twice making love...

Look at your life.... Your job took just 8 hours....1/3 of your day....8 hours for sleeping...

What are you doing with 8 hours left???

You are wasting them, even if you are slow and eating in 40 minutes... 6.30 hours left!!!

How can we turn our “unuseful time” in useful one?

1)Write down what you would like to do: sports, place to visit, subject to learn, extra activity. Please keep on mind that, what you think is what you are going to be

2) Use Kaizen way: It is a Japanese way of thinking... it simple explains to do things step by step, if you would like to run for a long distance, you need to start first walking properly...continual improvement...

3)Leave your car and mobile devices: I always walk to the restaurant or just park the car and go to walk to a quiet park in the nature carrying my pocket lunch homemade.

Doing this you cannot complain, you are doing a bit of exercise at least, breathing, moving: having an empty brain can make the difference during your day.

4)Don’t give up: now you are finally using your time, don’t give up!!! Don’t leave it and go back to your old habits...this may happen but please, reset your brain and start again!

5) Congratulate yourself: every single day look at you and congratulate yourself...use Kaizen way of thinking: do it day by day...not excited, not depressed, but BALANCED.

6) Acting not watching: if you like having a beer while you are watching a football match, it means that you love football. Why don’t you go to train yourself before dinner everyday, in order to be ready to play with your friends? Find an amateur football team and enjoy it!!! You will be healthy and happy!! Social life helps us!!

7)Switch off dish washer: You had your lunch now, you are full and feel great...you breathed a lot today, new air, new feelings... Why should you stop then? Get up and wash your dishes, MOVING HELPS YOU!!

8)Planning: first day has gone, it is time to plan your next one....I love planning day by day, I can surprise myself!!!

9)Have a warm drink: Yeah...after all... Your body is tired for sure...it didn’t move like that since ages!!! Let’s make a warm relaxing drink and have it beside your lover, your dog or you alone...Muscles will relax and you can feel your energy restored.
