Time Management vs Energy Management

by | Jul 31, 2024 | Blog, Blog Post | 0 comments

I used to be obsessed with controlling and planning every detail, ensuring everything fit neatly into my calendar. When things didn’t go my way, I’d get upset and assign all sorts of meanings to those disruptions. I lived inside this rigid box of time management, believing it was real and essential.

As a Capricorn sun and moon, structure and control came naturally to me yet my rising sign, Cancer, introduced an element of flow and healing. Despite this, I resonated more with the rigid Capricorn, embracing structure and order. I wasn’t wrong in doing so, but it was a reflection of my conditioning.

Time management often felt like a race against the clock. I was always early because I was terrified of being late. I remember a job where the mantra was “early is on time and on time is late.” This belief system made me anxious if things didn’t fit perfectly into my schedule. I lived inside the prison of time.

However, as I’ve evolved, I’ve realized how illusory linear time is—a construct of our physical reality here on Earth. Time is actually subjective, cyclical, and spirals in ways beyond our mind’s understanding. The only real moment is now, this very moment we’re sharing, right here, reading this blog. Yes, we need time to function in society—kids need to get to school, and we need to be punctual for work and appointments. But what I’m advocating for is a different relationship with time.

This brings us to energy management. We are energetic beings, and everything in our lives is an extension of our energy. When our energy is disjointed and scattered, we’re not coherent. Our energy can leak, break, and shift, becoming misaligned. This misalignment affects our physical and energetic systems’ ability to operate at their best.

Energy management practices allow us to merge our energy structures back into our energy field, bringing coherence. It’s about recognizing where our energy is leaking or being triggered and taking steps to manage it effectively. This deep soul work involves tuning into our wounding, patterns, and beliefs. By navigating ourselves as whole beings, we can untangle the places where our energy is muddled and bring it back into alignment.

This shift from time management to energy management changes our relationship with time. A lot of our time-related stress stems from unhealed wounds, stories, and beliefs. We overextend ourselves, trying to fit everything into our schedules, often feeling frantic and rushed. By managing our energy, we can step back, gain clarity, and witness rather than be absorbed by these patterns.

Energy management involves practices like energetic hygiene, which help bring us back into our bodies and the truth of who we are. This state of coherence and love shifts everything in our lives, especially our relationship with time. Time, when seen as loving, becomes an ally rather than a foe.

Most of us wake up thinking we’re already late, leaning into our endless to-do lists. Imagine waking up with the belief that time loves you and today is going to be the best day of your life. How would your day unfold differently? I challenge you to pause and consider what motivates your to-do list. Who are you being when you think of it?

The person I want to be is the one who creates time, love, joy, ease, and alignment in my life. There is no amount of doing that will make me feel differently. True change comes from being different. When I am different, everything outside of me changes, and I exist in a different reality.

So, my loves, what medicine can you make? How can you shift from managing your time to allowing time to love you? What changes can you make in your energetic patterns to focus more on being rather than doing? What life did you come here to live that requires you to be the truth of you—not someone else’s truth or the truth of your stories and conditioning, but the truth of your soul?

Embrace your journey and allow time to love you.
