I decide when, where, and how I spend my time
It's easy to feel like you don't have control over your time. Between work, family, and other obligations, it can seem like there's never enough time in the day to do everything you want to do. But the truth is, you do have control over your time. You get to decide when, where, and how you spend it.
When you repeat the affirmation "I decide when, where, and how I spend my time" you're reminding yourself that you're in charge. You're not at the mercy of your schedule or anyone else's demands. You have the power to choose how you spend your time.
Of course, that doesn't mean you can always do exactly what you want. There will always be things you have to do, whether it's going to work or taking care of your family. But even in those situations, you still have some control. You can choose how you approach those tasks, and you can find ways to make them more enjoyable or fulfilling.
When you start to feel like you're not in control of your time, it can be helpful to take a step back and evaluate your priorities. What's really important to you? What do you want to spend your time on? Once you have a clear sense of your priorities, you can start to make choices that align with them.
It's also important to remember that you don't have to do everything yourself. If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's okay to ask for help. Whether it's delegating tasks at work or asking a friend to watch your kids for a few hours, there are often ways to free up some time and reduce your stress.
Ultimately, the affirmation "I decide when, where, and how I spend my time" is a reminder that you have agency in your life. You're not just a passive observer; you're an active participant. By taking control of your time, you can create a life that's fulfilling and meaningful to you.
