Chronic Lateness | by Madisyn Taylor Being late for an appointment or a date can seem like a small thing that really doesn't matter, but it communicates volumes, whether we mean it to or not. Being kept waiting is an experience that almost no one enjoys, because at best, it wastes their time, and at worst, it indicates a lack of regard. It's as if we're saying that our time is more important than their time, so we don't need to honor them by showing up when we said we would. When we are running late, it means a lot if we call and let the person know, especially if it's going to be more than ten minutes. However, if we are chronically late, it may take more than a phone call to properly address the issue. If it's become a habit of ours not to be on time, we may want to look inside ourselves and see what's going on. It's easy enough to make excuses about our behavior, or to project responsibility on the other person, perceiving them to be uptight if they are irritated by our tardiness. What's more difficult, and more meaningful, is looking at ourselves and asking why it is that we always, or often, show up late. Sometimes this happens out of a lack of self-regard, as if we aren't really important anyway, so why will anyone care if we're late, or don't show up at all. Chronic lateness can also stem from being disorganized, or simply trying to do too much in one day. Another possible reason for being late to a particular appointment, or date, is that we don't really want to be there. We communicate our disinterest or boredom by not showing up on time. Whatever our reasons, if we raise them to the conscious level, we have an opportunity to live a more conscious life. As we begin to understand the deeper reasons behind our inability to show up on time, we have the option to communicate clearly and consciously about how we really feel, rather than communicating unconsciously by being late. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Sadie Nardini If you're working out for more than 20-ish minutes a day, you could be wasting precious time and energy, and blocking many of your fitness benefits! Get ready for the workout that science proves is the most effective to build strength and burn calories in the least amount of time. This course from bestselling DailyOM course creator Sadie Nardini, was designed as a fusion of yoga and High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, for you to reap all these benefits and see for yourself what a huge difference in body and health just a small amount of time each day can give you! HIIT does what yoga can't: cross-trains your fitness, amps up your heart rate/cardio system for optimized oxygen processing & fat burn, and activates fast-twitch muscle fibers (what tones, sculpts and defines your body). Yoga is a perfect complement to HIIT, since it targets slow-twitch muscle fibers, to keep you endurance-based strong, and it gives you cleansing and flexibility to aid in your HIIT power and transformation. Together they can't be beat as the most perfect exercise system available today. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1. Yoga Stretches for Beginners 2. Live A Sweet Life Without Sugar 3.
