Hi Everyone 😊! Today’s post will be on how we utilize our time. We can wake up some day and realize part of our life is over. Where did the time go? We were not even aware of how quickly time went by. We go through days and weeks in a flash, and it feels like we don’t have enough time for anything

  • How does utilizing time well make our lives meaningful and happy?
  • What gets in the way of us doing what needs to be done today?



    For me, utilizing our time well can make our lives meaningful and happy because if you spend some of your time doing work and spend the rest of the time doing something you love, you will feel satisfied. The balance between work and fun is important because if there isn’t a balance, you can feel like you wasted time doing too much work/fun. This can make our lives not feel meaningful, and we can become unhappy. Additionally, things that can get in the way of us doing what needs to be done are spending too much time having fun instead of doing our work for the day. What about you?



    I look forward to hearing your responses 💕

Great post again Desmynn! I think you made a good point about work but also having something to do that you love.

  • How does utilizing time well make our lives meaningful and happy? What makes life really meaningful and happy to me is being able to say at the end of the day that I did the things which needed to be done, did the things I'm passionate about, like coming here to volunteer but also being able to say: "I had my me-time" which is really important, even if it's just for a short time. The Me-time is important to me so that I do not feel "left-out" or neglected by myself.
  • What gets in the way of us doing what needs to be done today. Sometimes things come up unexpectedly, things which can be hard to deal with but hey, I'm a learner, so I keep learning to manage! 😀

Hi @amiablePeace77, I can relate to you when you say that unexpected things happen that prevent us from doing what needs to be done. This happens to me many times, and it can seem stressful, especially when nothing can be done about it. However, I always keep reminding myself that some things are out of my control, and it is essential to manage what you have done already. Thank you for your post 😊

"Some things are out of our control" is a good reminder!

@Desmynn6789 great thread!

  • How does utilizing time well make our lives meaningful and happy? One thing it does is to give me a sense of accomplishment and a sense of succeeding at something.
  • What gets in the way of us doing what needs to be done today? Worries and anxieties take up my time and energy when they get in the way and I focus on them.

Utilizing time and staying busy accomishing task gives me purpose feeling like I was worthy and able to do things with out procrastination and or staying in bed! Makes me feel happy distracted from the negative and time to just be in the moment not stuck in the emotional tunnel. Things that get in the way of me doing what needs to get done today Sudden attitude changed becoming exhausted giving up feeling like I just don't no how to do anything overwhelming my self arguments with the spouse my 8 month old letting my episodes and emotions take control over me and letting them get the best of me!! So many things I let or make excuses as to why I can't get something done or do accomplish what i had planned. Awesome thought for today thank you hope you all have a blessed day
