Learn to value time

Time is the common denominator in our lives, in our stories and our futures.

Will you give me a little of your time?

Time is forging and shaping us according to what we live. Time proves us right in some things, but takes it away from us in others.Time surprises us and makes us appreciate it when we look back. All those things that we have done in the past, that in moments before they happened we would not have even imagined. Therefore, it is a very precious commodity. Time is not bought, traded, or sold.

Value those people who dedicate time to you, or rather, who dedicate time to you. Either way, without stopping to measure; duration, frequency or quality. That they give you time, means that you also accept it, and therefore you agree to receive it.

We are so immersed in immediate or short-term goals that we don't pay attention to the time between starting and achieving those goals. For example, how many of us go to work in a hurry, distracting ourselves with our mobile phones until we reach our bus stop? metro or taking care of our ears to quickly evade the reality of everyday life and reach the places of destination?

Learn to value the present time

I invite you to perform some changes that you can make in your day to day and thus value time in a different way:

Observation

Capture all that information that is around us, be it streets, landscapes, people, gestures... All that information is inputs for our brain. You can learn a lot about what people need, how they feel or what they can get you transmit the looks.

Proprioception

Give more importance to how or what we feel at all times. Whether it's rapid breathing, tense shoulders, or a rumbling in the belly. Try to think about what can make us feel this way and give some response to that need (take a deep breath, roll your shoulders, eat something…).

Gratitude

Although we have better days than others, others do not deserve that we transmit those bad vibes. Therefore, be grateful and try to be nice to others as you would like them to be with you. Not just because of them, but because of how you will feel after doing it. Be polite and smile more and you will see that they smile more than you thought, if not, do not worry, since your vibrations and your attitude will be better as well.

So, take time to everything that makes you happy, realized or simply calm and at ease with yourself. All those activities that make you enjoy that time that you dedicate to them, those that you do not perceive time in and in which you would spend hours and days looking like minutes.

The importance of connecting with the people around us

Spend time with those people who make you lose track of time, talking about everything and talking about nothing. Those that tend to be perennial in time regardless of how often you see them. To those others that are punctual, but intense. That give you strength, desire, illusions and experiences. All of them form your path, your path of life. Thank all, I repeat, all who have passed through your life since in one way or another they have shaped you today to be who you are. Here we have the fantastic, exciting and mysterious crossroad.

You never know what the new crossroads will be to come, they will simply come. How long they are going to be there or what their role will be, you will not know until, over time, you look back and understand what you have taken from that junction in the road and in time.
