Time is on My Side
Filed Under Holistic Therapy |
A client of mine came into my office last week very upset. She felt overwhelmed by the number of tasks her boss was handing her lately and she was panicking because she didn?t feel like she could accomplish them in a timely matter. As her boss? expectations rose, her feelings of inadequacy did too.
After listening to her complaints, I felt she could really benefit from a couple of mantras. I recommended the following to her: “Time is on my side?; ?Time is my friend?; ?I always have more than enough time for all the things that I wish to do?; ?I am excellent at prioritizing.” I also suggested to her to take five deep breaths several times a day and especially when she felt any time-related anxiety coming on.
About a week later, she came back to my office and she looked like a different person. She commented on how repeating the mantras in her head several times a day, as well as doing deep breathing, gave her a new perspective. She found she was better able to prioritize her day and was surprised how she was able to get things done.
