Time is On Your Side

Yes it is. 

But — if you operate in survival mode, where everything is urgent, time won’t be. And while that feels entirely impossible to shift in the moment of panic or anxiety or dissociation…You gotta calm yourself down. Adjust to time's unwavering stability: it never stops, so respect it and it will respect you. That starts with  how you respect your time. That starts with what you allow to fill your calendar. 

The best and really only way to shift in a moment of panic though, is to look at the issue that is already slowing down your processing power. Get real strategic, diagnose the problem take action and move. Cause here is the thing, no one can process it out for you. No one can provide enough love, care, nurturing to “cover” you with the love you need to provide yourself. No one. This doesn’t mean you’re alone, and it certainly doesn’t mean to isolate yourself from the love of others while you go to battle for yourself and deal with your demons, do the opposite there, receive love from others. What this means at its base value, is that this is an opportunity for self mastery. And I’m certain, that if you are here reading this, you know this is true. The dance is to not beat yourself up while you work on that self-mastery. Turn it into a game. Where time is your most valuable resource to be able to even begin to look at the issue, to even be able to process things out.  

Cause really, let’s break it down:

If you are young when a traumatic experience happens and that experience is not processed in real time, at the age of when it happened, the experience will develop with you.

What does this mean?

It means that everything you learned from this experience, you’ll repeat as instinctual habit in your life. For most of us, that consisted of some element of shutting down your voice. Of opting for the safer option/method/strategy, so that you could remain safe. For many of us, the instinctual habit has been to fill our time with people-pleasing and performative acts. Unfortunately, this results in constant self-betrayal without our awareness that we’re even doing it. And while this rests on a fine line of subconscious reactivity or intentional choice to remain the same, here's what I'll say about that: so long as you are aware and taking action to remove this poor habit out of your life, you're on the right track. If you could care less that it continues, you're saying yes to the entanglement to continue in your system... in your life. If you care about your time and want time to be on your side, your first step is to take this state of being with an instilled poor habit, seriously. It is your job to rid yourself of it. Easier said than done, but it can be done. 

So where does time factor in to all of this? 

How quickly you express what happened, and how quickly you take action to remove any stronghold from your life. You can always be running in a direction of something, but if those hooks from the trauma are locked in tight, you'll forever be in a state of breaking even. In order to not let this happen -- say the thing. Say the thing that happened on your timeline, so you can stand on the truth of that very real experience. If you never say it, if you always ignore it, it's like it never happened. All this does is allow the experience to burrow into your subconscious mind and nervous system, slowly manipulating you overtime. Say "no" from day one. It's up to you. 

To elaborate a step further, when God created the world, he parsed out his work one day at a time. He then rested on the 7th day. In short, He respects His time, the time required to do His work, and the need to maintain longevity of His work. Then, when His Plan A didn't work, he took 40 days to wash away the first draft, sans Noah, His family and all the creatures of the earth. Then, they all rested for 6 weeks on the ark. Come to think of it, they were probably pretty cold, since the waters raised to the height of mountains. Good thing, cause that meant conservation of energy and the opportunity to prepare for a transition to a new normal "world" when the water receded. 

If you've ever been in collaboration with God on something and He brings you to a season of rest, where you're out of commission, I guarantee you, He is resting along with you. He's cooling off with you. Likely, He did a whole lot of heavy lifting to bring you to that space, and since He's God, He probably has a laundry list of other folks to go tend to and work with. It's all out of respect.

Satan on the other hand, is a manipulator and attacker of time. Satan's ways are all about corruption, suffering, living in lack and in fear (not the good kind). Evil gets in like a needle, and spreads like a virus. There is no respect of time, when attacks on time are the norm. There is no respect of time, when your dollars earned don't cover your needs. There is never a moment of rest, it's constant attacks and attempts for control. In short, if you don't respect your time, you're walking in the ways of the devil. With Satan, you'll never catch a break. With God, you'll have breaks and will be walking forward at a healthy pace. 

But I get it. The trauma has a hold on you. That's what I'm here to help you with. Detaching from all of it, on every level of your being: spirit, mind, body, heart and soul. 

So, believe that time is on your side. Brainwash yourself into believing this if you have to (you might have to). Then say no. At every level of occupancy and every level of the journey and reverse-engineer your way back to the event itself. And say no again. 

While we can't reverse time, we can collapse it in order to step into our timelines of purpose. 

Time is on your side, if you let it.

Again, it's up to you and what you say. (What say you?!) 

In the words of a great artisan, "[it's there...] I just have to chisel away".
