Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time management has been a business idea for decades
, but if you're serious aboutexpanding your soul and your
time on Earth, you need topractice spiritual time
management.
Hi, I'm Corbie Mitleid and thisis the Psychic Yellow Brick
Road.
The world is changing and lifedoesn't have the spark it used
(00:22):
to, so we look around and askwhere do I need to go to catch
the magic again?
You've found it.
Welcome to the Psychic YellowBrick Road, a weekly podcast
that delves into the intuitiveworld, metaphysics, life purpose
and how to connect with thecompassion of spirituality.
I'm Corbie Mitleid and I'vebeen on the Psychic Yellow Brick
Road for 50 years.
(00:43):
I'm a Certified Tarot Master,past life specialist, psychic
medium, channel, and author and,most importantly, I'm an Elder
in the field, ready to pass oneverything I've discovered to
you.
So let's hit that PsychicYellow Brick Road where you can
find the real wizards and avoidthe flying monkeys.
(01:07):
Spiritual Time Management.
To understand what spiritualtime management looks like to
most people, I did a fair amountof research on the idea and I
was disturbed to find that formany bloggers, the idea revolved
around religion, giving it moretime doing what it tells you to
do and learning to compresseverything else.
(01:28):
That's not my idea of spiritualtime management.
Even if we're not religious,we're spiritual.
Certainly you have that part ofyourself front and center if
you listen to this podcast.
For me, spiritual timemanagement is giving yourself
enough time for your spirit,your soul, to grow, flourish and
(01:49):
perhaps shine your light in theworld a little brighter and a
little farther, without denyingthe fact that life also holds as
enlightenment quotes gochopping wood and carrying water
and laundry and soccer practiceand all those myriad small
things that make up our lives inthe 21st century.
It's also about givingourselves more time in a
(02:10):
spiritual manner, and the fiveproblem children around that are
multitasking, double thinking,techno, toxicity, me lastness
and exhaustion.
So let's take a look at how toget those problem children to
behave.
Multitasking you only have onelife this time.
(02:31):
Don't live it trying to havetwo.
Multitasking is when we'retrying to talk on the phone and
fold the laundry and keep an eyeon the timer on the stove.
Or at work, rushing to finish areport while participating in a
conference call and trying totell our assistant when to
schedule the next threeinterviews.
Or and yes, I've done this andso have you attempting to keep
(02:53):
three Facebook conversations anda text dialogue all going at
once.
When we're trying to juggle somany unconnected things, we're
not really there for any of them, we can't be as creative as
we'd like, we can't savor whatwe're doing, there's no
satisfaction at the end of thetask because we didn't really
feel the doing of it and we'veallowed our existence to slip
(03:16):
away without reallyparticipating in it.
If you live until you're 70,that's the usual three score and
10, you live until you're 70,that's the usual three score and
10, you have roughly 613,000hours in your life.
That looks like a lot of timewhen you're five, but trust me,
the closer you get to thatnumber, the more precious those
dwindling hours are and the moreyou're tempted to look back and
(03:38):
bemoan all the time you wasted,and you'll be shocked at how
much of it you don't remember ifyou've spent your life
multitasking.
So part of spiritual timemanagement is being absolutely
focused and there for whatyou're doing.
When you are, when you'reimmersed in a task, letting it
permeate your mind and heart,there's joy in it, there's
(04:01):
learning, and joy and learningare a big part of spiritual
growth.
Then there's double thinking.
That's when you make a decisionbut you worry about whether it
was the right one.
Or you try to do a mental flowchart of worst case scenario,
focusing on how to do damagecontrol if a project doesn't
(04:21):
please the boss, or trying tofigure out every single
possibility for a givensituation before the situation
even happens.
And it's all done under a senseof stress, panic and fear.
When I have a client whodescribes that kind of thing to
me, I immediately ask them howold are you?
Surprised they blurt it out I'm32.
(04:43):
And I retort no, you'reactually 64.
You're trying to do two livesworth of thinking in one head
and that's why you're soexhausted and they get it so.
Unravel the double thinking.
Learn how to close the mentalbook on a situation rather than
obsess.
It's kind of like trying to getyour mind to stop jabbering
(05:05):
when you're trying to meditate.
Pema Chodron, the wise Buddhistnun and best-selling author,
says that when that happensduring meditation, one should
just note thinking and turn backto clearing your mind without
focusing on what you did thatyou didn't want to do.
When you're done with a subjectand need to move on, mentally,
(05:26):
close your book.
And when the thoughts bounceback and demand more time but
you're done, nod at them, say nodouble thinking, thank you and
get back to what you really wantto concentrate on at the moment
.
Then there's techno-toxicityExample Wanda's an entrepreneur.
If you look around Wanda's homeoffice, you'd see two phones, a
(05:49):
large computer and variousother pieces of technology she
needs to run her business.
In her bedroom she has ane-reader, a NOAA radio to warn
her in case of bad weather andthe alarm that wakes her up with
a myriad number of ringtones.
In her living room, she has aflat-screen TV and all the usual
media peripherals.
Wanda works 10 to 12 hours aday at her business.
(06:11):
Much of it is conducted onlinewith clients around the country.
What contact she has withhumanity is via texting, zoom or
phone, and when she needs abreak from work, she goes to one
of the other pieces of tech inthe house and plugs in there.
Even when she goes to bed atnight, rather than read a book,
she plays video games for anhour or so until she's numb
(06:33):
enough to turn out the light.
Now, wand is an extreme, I grantyou, but we are all of us
incredibly plugged intotechnology and we avail
ourselves of it constantly, andnot only does it fragment our
attention spans, but it keeps usfrom being aware of time.
Techno-toxicity is like walkinginto a casino the lights and
(06:58):
noise are mesmerizing becausethe casino is designed so you
forget where the doors are andyou always spend far more time
and money there than you expect,unless you're constantly
watching the clock and stayingmindful.
One of the fastest ways toregain your time is avoid the
tempting plug-in.
You know we talk about limitingcomputer or television time for
(07:20):
kids.
We need to limit our own technotime.
Try for just a week to keeptrack of how much time you spend
on a piece of technology ratherthan communicating with people.
Really, look at where tech hasreplaced non-electronic joys.
E-readers are fine, but whenwas the last time you really
(07:42):
savored a book in your hands,getting lost in the words, the
smell of the paper, the feel ofthe binding?
In fact, when was the last timeyou spent an hour or so
daydreaming and resting yourmind rather than filling it with
someone else's fantasy world or, even worse, doom-scrolling?
It's time to take back yourmind and your life from the
(08:04):
pixels and the pings.
The next unruly child is a twin: me-lastness and exhaustion. (08:08):
undefined
Somewhere along the road,spiritual time management
started to look a lot likeputting everyone else first,
being compassionate and generousand always thinking of them,
because being selfish is not aspiritual use of your time.
My dears, I do beg to differ.
(08:30):
Women, especially, are broughtup to put themselves last.
Do your chores.
Help your parents, do for yourfamily.
Be the good worker.
Always say no thank you so thatsomeone else can have more.
Always say it's no problem whensomeone asks you to do
something.
Be cheerful, be helpful, bekind, be giving.
(08:52):
And while we've come a long way, baby, it's still part of the
social norm for women toliterally not know how to say me
first.
While it's wonderful to be anddo all those things, you can't
give if your basket is empty.
You can't feed someone if yourcupboard is bare.
Give if your basket is empty.
(09:14):
You can't feed someone if yourcupboard is bare.
And if you act like you're nothungry and you don't need
anything, people will believeyou and no one will return the
favor.
When we're constantly exhaustedby doing and giving to an
extreme, we feel like we have notime at all.
We don't have enough energy totake care of ourselves in even
the most basic ways, and themore we fill what time we have
(09:35):
with things we think we shouldbe doing for others, the less we
actually feel like doing them.
Giving and doing becomeexpected chores, like going to
the dry cleaners or cleaning upafter the dog when we walk him A
required part of life, butnothing to delight over.
And that is such a double lossbecause when you take time for
(09:58):
yourself, when you put yourselfat the top of your priority list
, you load that basket, you fillthat pantry, you discover big
and little ways of lovingyourself that are so delicious
you may want to pass some ofthem on to others.
You give yourself enough energyand refreshment that doing what
is required on a daily basisand doing for others feels far
(10:22):
less daunting and feeds you atthe same time.
It feeds them.
You live, really live in thedelight of what you're doing, so
that you experience life ratherthan slog through it.
So multitasking, double thinking, techno, toxicity, me lastness
(10:45):
and exhaustion.
If you can deal with these fivetime and energy stealers and
more creative ways, boom.
All of a sudden you'll havemore time than you thought you
did.
If you can deal with these fivetime and energy stealers in
more creative ways, boom.
All of a sudden you'll havemore time than you thought you
did, you'll feel less exhaustedso that you can use every moment
of time more productively.
You can acknowledge and honoreverything you do and you will
(11:08):
feel infinitely more in controlof your life, your time and your
mental and emotional state,which gives you the time to
experience and expand yourspirituality a lot more than 10
minutes every Tuesday if you'vegot the time.
