| How often do you say that or some iteration of it? “I don’t have time.” Make it an acronym: IDHT IDHT is also an excuse, a dismissal, a convenient way out! And the UGLY truth? It’s a LIE! What does IDHT REALLY mean? • I don’t want to • I’d rather do _____ • I’m too overwhelmed to do _____ We all know IDHT is a bald-faced lie, yet we give it a pass. What does this mean about ourselves? We’ve bought into: • I’ve never been good at … • You don’t understand … • But I don’t have time like you do … You know what the truth is – it’s not just that you don’t have time; it’s that you haven’t made it a priority! And that’s FINE– if it’s not something you want, something that will create the life you want, the vibrancy you so desperately want. BUT if you WANT the thing you want, you figure it out! Here’s how: 1. TIME BLOCK!! Get the sheet and print off several copies. You need a NOW one, an IDEAL one, and a REAL one! 2. Use the alarms on your phone. Set one each hour, piggyback some habits – hydrate, movement, even journaling. 3. Analyze – Don’t get paralyzed. You might not get it into the Goldilocks zone; it’s possible. 4. Include the kids and elderly parents if necessary – Don’t use them as a way out. 5. ASK FOR HELP!! Hello, we’re not here to do life solo! 6. Swap duties – kids or parents, with another friend or family member, to get some time alone. 7. Use your indentured servants for EVERYTHING – Dishwasher, slow-cooker, Instant Pot, ETC. Put them to WORK! (Don’t forget, TODAY is your last day to get our Crock cooker eBook for FREE with any purchase!) 8. Distracted? Put your phone on airplane mode or in the other room. Set some rules of engagement! |
