What if Time were a person? Would she be a beloved dance partner… or a ruthless taskmaster? In this imaginative and deeply personal episode, host Jodi Rose Gonzales explores the often-overlooked relationship we each have with Time.
You'll uncover four ways to transform that relationship so you can unlock deeper creative flow, mindfulness, and joy. Through personal stories, neuroscience, and art-based mindfulness, you will discover how your perception of Time affects your creativity and mental wealth.
Key Takeaways:
- Your relationship with Time directly impacts your creativity. When you’re anxious about Time, you activate your sympathetic nervous system—and the less creative you become.
- Flow states alter your perception of Time. During creative flow, your normal time consciousness often disappears completely as the prefrontal cortex becomes less active.
- Transform your relationship with Time through practical strategies. The podcast offers four specific approaches and an art journal prompt.
✨ Journal prompts included to deepen your reflection:
- What emotions arise when you think about your relationship with Time?
- What specific situations trigger your most difficult reactions to Time?
- What would change in your creative practice if you had a loving relationship with Time?
- What one small step can you take today to begin transforming this relationship?
Whether you’re seeking more balance, flow, or simply a new lens on life, this episode invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and — perhaps for the first time — dance with Time.
We’d love to hear your reflections or stories of transformation. Share your thoughts with us @JodiRose.Studio on IG or Facebook or tag us on social media using #TheiROSEPodcast.
