THE TRUTH-

If I had a pound for the amount of times I have been told by my clients that they don’t have the time to use the tools and practices I provide for transformation, then I’d be a millionaire today lol. 

But in all seriousness, it is an obstacle for people that I come across A LOT in coaching, and I do understand there can be time-related challenges when it comes to self-improvement, but it’s rarely due to the fact that there is NO time, and more due to the fact that the time that is available is being prioritised in other ways. 

And to highlight this, I always ask each person to do this one thing-

I ask them to go into their phone settings, and open up ‘screen time’. 

Now the average person’s screen time is reported to be around 5-7 hours per day, so I ask them to check if theirs too falls within that bracket. 

If it did then I explain that all they’d need to do is allocate just one hour of those 5-7 each day to using the tools. That still leaves a good chunk of time for scrolling, but that one hour dedicated to using the tools in this process gives a significant change to the progress and results that are achieved.

And it doesn’t even need to be a whole hour in one sitting, it could be one hour allocated into 10-15 min slots throughout the day, as that is the duration process for most of the tools included. 

I’d like you to just take a minute and do the same. Check your screen time and ask yourself  ‘do you truly not have any time to invest in yourself, or are you just utilising that time elsewhere? 

Because realistically, if you were to prioritise your time differently, you would find the time. 

I was a single mum to two, working and studying on my weight loss journey, so I do understand how challenging it can be to manage a busy life, but I also wanted to succeed and  learnt to invest in myself and the process and stopped making excuses. 

Because more often than not, that’s exactly the reason why people use a lack of time- as an excuse to not invest in their goals.

And people tend to make these excuses to act as a convenient shield,  primarily out of fear of failure or judgment, and to protect their self-esteem by avoiding responsibility and potential shame. 

These excuses act as a self-handicapping mechanism, a protective barrier that shifts focus from their perceived shortcomings to external factors, allowing them to feel less anxious and more comfortable in the short term. 

But all this does is block success as the underlying issues remain unresolved.

Fortunately this system has been specifically designed to build confidence, overcome fear of failure and remove subconscious blocks, so you will find yourself making less and less excuses. However, if you do find yourself justifying that you are too busy to do the work, then open up that screen time setting again and give yourself a reality check that there clearly is time, you just have to choose where you utilise it.
