Ep 3: Creating Time Abundance (5 Freedoms Activator #1)

How often have you felt that golden moment when you wake up and life feels perfect, then all of a sudden, it hits you - “uh, I have that meeting, that event, that [insert dreaded, seemingly inescapable commitment here]."

I used to feel that way all the time, but I kept telling myself that "things will get better later." Truth is, I was a black belt in Taekwondo, and a 9th degree black belt in self-deception.

Where IS your time going? When you take a look at your calendar or to-do list, how many activities are you truly excited about experiencing? How much of your time is truly your own? 

In this episode, we’ll explore the freedom of time. You'll learn how to consciously shift towards more activities and relationships that energize you, leverage your innate powers of choice and imagination to create new possibilities, and meet each new day with greater energy, curiosity and creativity. 

When you design your time to maximize your own freedom and fulfillment, you start to feel, think, and behave differently. You become fearless. 

This episode is the first in our 5 Freedoms Activator series. If you missed it, visit Ep #2 for a conceptual overview of the 5 Freedoms, and check back in over the coming months for episodes on expanding your freedoms of money, location, purpose & relationships.
