During my meditation sessions, I regularly ask myself: What can I be more aware of? Or what is the most important thing I could focus on right now? I don't come up with the answer myself but simply let it come to me. Since the end of last year, I've been receiving the same answer every time: 'Take care of yourself.'

 Now, I’m under the impression that I already do that quite well. I walk for half an hour every day, make sure I get enough sleep, eat (fairly) healthy and not too much, drink about 2 liters of tea per day, and exercise at least twice a week, to name but a few things. Nevertheless, the message is always crystal clear: 'Take care of yourself.’

 Apparently, there's a deeper layer to explore here.

 On March 1st, during the online Spark meeting of the TP Global Community, we explored our relationship with time through an exercise standing in different places in the room. Using the model of the 4 levels of engagement, I discovered that I often position myself as a sort of victim in relation to time: the thoughts 'I don't have enough time' and 'I have so much to do and so little time' actually pass through my mind daily, often more than once. That was truly an eye-opener!

The insight that came up at the 'choice level' was: what is time actually? And to what extent is it relevant? Does 'having not enough time' or 'having too much time' really exist? Or is it essentially about my awareness, my conscious 'being', the presence that I bring to the present moment itself? The invitation is clearly to take full responsibility for what I feel, what I think, who I am, and what I do every moment of the day, and not focus on what I don't do or still want to do. That feels both grand and immensely liberating.

Perhaps that's the deeper layer of truly taking care of yourself.

How do you relate to 'time,' and what old (thought) patterns might still be holding you back and preventing you from truly taking care of yourself? What awareness and presence are you invited to bring more to the moment itself?

 I invite you to reflect on these questions this week. I'm curious to see what they reveal.

 Wishing you lots of discovery and enjoyment!
