I caught myself this afternoon and I wasn’t proud of it.
I didn’t have much work on today — which honestly should have felt like a gift. Time to rest, to create, to do something that fills me up.
Instead I spent most of it scrolling. Deep in social media, absorbing drama, politics, negativity — the kind of content that doesn’t just waste your time, it actually drains you.
By the time I looked up I felt exhausted and irritable and I hadn’t even done anything.
And the frustrating part? I knew what I was doing. I just kept going anyway.
Why do we do this to ourselves? Honestly — I don’t fully know. But I do know we all have days like this. Days where time just slips through our fingers and we end up further from ourselves than when we started.
What I’ve learned though — it’s not how the day starts that matters. It’s whether you can catch yourself, shift your focus, and finish differently.
So that’s what I’m doing right now. Writing this. Coming back.
On Monday’s Aura Live I mentioned Bob Proctor’s Change Your Paradigm, Change Your Life — and today reminded me exactly why I brought it up.
The way we habitually use our time, the loops we fall into without thinking — that’s the paradigm. And changing it starts with noticing it.
So that’s my read this month and I’m already feeling the nudge.
Tell me — do you ever have days where you feel like they just slipped away from you? And when that happens, what brings you back? 🌿
