Are you Crazy Busy? Do you need a Time Warp?

Two weeks before I taught a Live Facilitator Training class, I was on the verge of a meltdown. Too many things to do, not enough hands to do them with… and definitely not enough time to get it all done before the participants were scheduled to arrive.

In my frantic state, time seemed to race by and not many of my tasks were getting completed. Furthermore, I had to reluctantly stop in the middle and fly out of state because I was scheduled to meet with one of my mentors - a meeting that was not easy to come by and which I didn't dare cancel.

After an incredible meeting (getting my head back in the right place), I came home at peace.

I didn't immediately jump back into my preparations for the event. I spent some time with my kids in a non-rushed manner, and enjoyed peace of mind, knowing that everything was going to turn out okay.

(Note: nothing on my list changed. In fact, I even had even LESS time than before. The only thing that changed was the way I viewed the situation.)

Once I was ready, I returned to my tasks and calmly started checking them off one at a time. When I was done, I realized I still had about four or five days left to prepare, and yet there was nothing more that I needed to do!

Never in my life can I remember feeling so prepared for an event, with time to spare. In fact, I actually worried that the event might flop, because this was the first one I had prepared without feeling attacked by tremendous opposition.

(Previously, the amount of opposition I experienced beforehand was always the indicator for how well the event would go. The tougher the fight, the better the events always turned out, so long as I would just press on and make them happen anyway. As a result, I had resigned myself to the idea that every event I ever did would be a massive test of my faith, that everything would always have to get done in a panic at the last minute - and when there were pieces that didn't get done - well, we'd just have to be at peace with letting those pieces go.)

Interestingly enough, however, this event did not test me like all the others had. It actually went amazingly smoothly and I felt untouched by the old challenges that used to get in the way and bog me down. I realized that my challenges were now of a different nature, perhaps because I had somehow "graduated" from the old kinds of challenges and was ready to move on to a new level of being.

In retrospect, I am convinced that as I allowed myself to think at a higher level than ever before, I literally experienced a time warp. I'm not talking about science fiction, I'm talking about the reality that "time is only measured unto man" and that with God, all things are possible.

I believe that when your thoughts are held in the right place, and when you hold the right mindset, time can stand still for you (or at least slow down) until you can accomplish what you need to do.

I've tested this and seen it help me out every time:

When I'm late and frantically trying to figure out how I will explain my lateness, the clock speeds up. If I calm down and picture everything turning out okay (letting myself feel the relief I'll feel when I'm in my seat with time to spare), the clock slows down. And if I do this and show up "late" anyway, things have shifted to where my being on time didn't really matter the way I thought it would.

Time management with these ideas in mind can provide a big boost toward the ultimate life mastery we'd all love to achieve.

So could you use a time warp? Are you running as fast as you can and still falling behind? Let me teach you how to experience this time warp phenomenon - it's about being a Genius with your thoughts.

Much love,

Leslie
