Our meditation today (Timing For Success) is about learning to become a master of your time. The last letter in S-M-A-R-T is T for “time limits.” Even though our true self is timeless, we live and experience in sequential time.
For that reason, we must respect and manage our time each day skillfully so that we synchronize our bio-rhythms with Nature. Dr. Daniel Siegel looked at how we can use our time so that it supports our wellbeing and inner growth.
He lists seven ways to spend time:
• Sleep time – Getting a full night’s restful sleep
• Physical time – Taking time to move and let your body be active
• Focus time – Being alone for a while to concentrate on what matters to you
• Time in – Taking time for meditation, prayer, or self-reflection
• Time out – Setting aside time simply to be here and rest into existence
• Playtime – Time to have fun and enjoy yourself
• Connecting time – Intimate private time between you and those you love and care for
Today’s meditation will synchronize individual awareness with the timing and rhythm of the universe.

Journal Questions
Take one of your worthy goals and set a time frame for attaining a major step toward that goal. For example, with the goal of having more friends, you might give yourself a month to make three new acquaintances. Write down your goal, your next step, and the time frame to get there.
List all the different activities that apportion your time: work time, play time, quiet time, social time, down time, physical time, and sleep time. Next to each area, write down how much time you give yourself for that activity each day.
Write down next to each activity how that period of time nurtures you, and how it enriches the quality of your day rather than detracts from it.
Reflect further on today’s experience.
