I was having a very interesting conversation with a good friend about 'time'. This is an area that can make me anxious because I try to cram too much into what I consider 'too little' time. It's when I start holding my breath, I feel my heartbeat increase and my mind flits like a trapped moth.
But I am also guilty of putting things off and undertaking large amounts of displacement activity. I am currently reading Deepak Chopra's The Book of Secrets and there is an interesting chapter on Time (and the misuse of it).
It is a question of changing your relationship to time and letting it just 'be'. One of the resolves is
'I will not misuse time by procrastination and delay'. I am forever procrastinating and delaying but I never though of it is terms of misuse of time. I just thought it was a flaw in my character. Now I see time as a resource that can be squandered.
