So when I get mad about the multiple phone calls made to Rise Broadband tech support (30+ minute hold time just to get a live person), and the complete lack of improvement after talking to that live person, I’ve just hatched a desire for a supportive, responsive, competent, efficient, enjoyable internet service provider.

If you let the contrast continue to beat you up (which is what we do when keep focusing on it), we hold ourselves apart from the good stuff it launched. The trick is just to allow ourselves to receive the benefit.Īnd all that requires is … (altogether now) … finding a way to feel better. So that means any time we’re engaged in something we don’t like, there’s a benefit in it. Without contrast, there’s no desire, and no expansion, and no chance to live a better life.Ĭontrast is what fuels the whole gig. But over time … seven seconds adds up!Īnd I’ve also been the person who could feel like I spent ten years with the wrong guy, and wasted three years house hunting all over two different states. So I get it what it feels like to lose a bunch of time on something.Ĭonscious creators know this better than anybody, because we know the value of contrast. At first, who cares? It’s a couple seconds. You have to hold it for a count of seven for it to work right.

Or even time spent commuting to work or holding for tech support or preparing for an event that gets canceled.īelieve it or not, I recently complained about how long I have to hold down the flusher on my toilet.

Or spending weeks on a healing modality that doesn’t improve our condition.

Like investing months (or even years) in a relationship that doesn’t come to fruition.There are few things more frustrating than feeling like we wasted a bunch of time.Įspecially for folks who are busier than they like to be, it’s easy to resent time spent on things that don’t improve our quality of life.
