Hello everyone and welcome to ideas for
a better life. I am Eugenio fencer

2
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:22.519
Ruiz, a heavy reader and lover
of personal development. Today I want to

3
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.640
talk to you about prosperity, but
not material prosperity, but the temporal prosperity

4
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.880
of being rich in time. Before
you start, as always remind yourself that

5
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:40.280
you have at your disposal a compilation
of the most relevant ideas and tips on

6
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.039
personal development. In my own four
books. I leave you as always their

7
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.640
link in the notes of the episode
and also since many of you have asked

8
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.520
me how and where to train in
personal development. I tell you what has

9
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.640
worked for me, which is the
master' s degree in personal development online,

10
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.560
IPP' s institute of positive thinking. You know that I think it

11
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:08.640
is the best training that exists in
this field, because it covers depth the

12
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:14.599
six areas of life, self-
knowledge, body and health, emotions,

13
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.519
relationships, transcendence and money and professional
career. If you want to take a

14
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.959
look at your free class mastre without
any commitment. I also leave you the

15
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:32.280
link in the episode notes and now
we' re going to talk about temporary

16
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:38.079
prosperity. Time is the most important
resource we have. We need time for

17
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:45.200
everything is to say the resource par
excellence, but, unfortunately, today it

18
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.640
seems that it is precisely what is
most scarce in time, from jobs to

19
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:57.519
social networks. It seems that everything
and everyone wants to take away our time.

20
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:01.920
I' m sure what I just
told you doesn' t surprise you

21
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.719
at all and you feel identified or
identified. With this, on the one

22
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.479
hand, we have that time is
something finite. We have a certain number

23
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:16.159
of hours a day, we have
a certain number of hours in a week

24
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.879
and we have a certain number of
hours in a lifetime. An hour is

25
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.159
an hour for everyone. It'
s sixty minutes, that' s three

26
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.520
six hundred seconds. One day has
twenty- four hours for everyone. It

27
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.560
is exactly the same for you for
me or for the person who succeeds in

28
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.800
life. But on another level,
time is a much more fluid, much

29
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:45.120
less measurable phenomenon, because what we
get in our time depends on three factors.

30
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.759
First of all, how we use
that time. We' re doing

31
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.960
something interesting. We' re doing
something useful. If so, we'

32
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.120
re going to make a lot more
use of it at an hour than if

33
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.520
we' re lying on the couch
looking at the mobile phone, you'

34
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.919
re going to run, you'
re going to get more resistance, you

35
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.919
start working in a secondary business in
addition to your main job and you'

36
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.879
re also passionate about it, so
you' re going to get more money

37
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:17.879
and more satisfaction, which you dedicate
that time to reading a book, you

38
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.360
' re going to get more knowledge. What doesn' t make sense is

39
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.520
sitting on the couch looking at the
pictures of other people' s lives on

40
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:29.479
social media. Of course, it
gives you absolutely nothing at that hour.

41
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.759
You' re gonna lose it,
you' re gonna throw it down the

42
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.719
video, down the drain. The
second factor to measure our time is how

43
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:44.039
much energy you have if you'
re animated, you' re going to

44
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.039
spend that hour in a more pleasant
and productive way. If you' re

45
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:52.919
exhausted, you won' t be
able to do anything with that hour,

46
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.560
let alone enjoy it. And the
third factor that tells us if we'

47
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:01.000
re going to take advantage of our
time is not how much we' re

48
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:05.759
aware, we' re paying attention
to what we' re experiencing or not,

49
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:11.639
whether we' re not going to
lose that hour, even though we

50
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.800
' re doing something amazing, because
time is going to happen as if you

51
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:15.439
' ve barely lived it, simply
because you' re not aware of what

52
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.199
you' re doing. Obviously,
we cannot change the fact that our time

53
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:26.079
is limited, but we can start
to take advantage of it more. We

54
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.399
can stop wasting so much time to
get what you want in life. You

55
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:35.120
have to keep your time, you
have to keep your energy and you have

56
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.439
to keep your attention. You can
imagine your life as a garden and in

57
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:46.000
that garden you' re trying to
grow some plants. Every plant is something

58
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.959
you want in your life. A
plant will be your family. Another plant

59
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:54.079
will be your professional career. Another
plant will be your health, another your

60
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:59.279
relationships, another your hobbies, etcetera. But your garden of life has a

61
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:04.560
linen space. You' re only
going to fit certain things, usually between

62
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.800
five and ten, and I'
d tell you that closer to five than

63
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.120
ten. And how we water that
garden, because, like any other garden

64
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.920
with water, what happens is that
in this case, in this virtual garden,

65
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.759
in this metaphorical garden, water is
your time. It' s your

66
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.720
energy and it' s your attention? So your water is a very limited

67
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.519
resource and you have to distribute it
very carefully. If you don' t

68
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.360
devote time, energy and attention to
the plant of your career, that is,

69
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.560
if you don' t water the
plant of your professional career, it

70
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.800
won' t grow. But if
you dedicate all your water to that particular

71
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.680
plant, because that plant will grow
very strong and very healthy, but all

72
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.879
the others will die. Then.
In that garden of life there are plants

73
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.720
that deserve your water more and that
are not receiving it and others that are

74
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.199
weeds and that do not deserve your
water. The water you give those weeds,

75
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:08.360
you' re wasting it. It' s those plants you don'

76
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.360
t want to grow that are diverting
from the plants that do want all your

77
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.560
attention, your energy and your time
and we all have weeds in our garden.

78
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.959
So, even if it sounds difficult, you have to find those weeds,

79
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:28.600
you have to tear them out and
you have to be constantly watching that

80
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.399
other new weeds don' t slip
into your garden and start taking root and

81
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.680
start growing and start taking away the
energy, attention and time that the few

82
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:44.120
plants that have to be in that
garden deserve. So you have to think

83
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:49.120
very carefully about how you invest your
time. No matter what you choose to

84
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:55.959
do with it. You will always
experience a result as a consequence. If

85
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.800
you take a walk, you'
ll improve your physical form a little bit.

86
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.560
If you smoke ten cigarettes, you' ll do the opposite. You

87
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.160
choose, and that' s what
it' s all about. That'

88
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:12.000
s life. You have to make
decisions, always including the decision of how

89
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.879
you use your time. And that
decision is actually an investment decision. You

90
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:21.319
spend a certain amount of time on
one activity or another and you get something

91
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:27.279
in return, and that something can
be better or worse. There are activities

92
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:32.480
that give you better results than others. And you' re gonna tell me

93
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.639
now is that I don' t
have a choice. I can' t

94
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.079
spend my time on what I want
because I have a lot of obligations.

95
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.639
I have a full schedule, I
have to go to work, I have

96
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.720
to meet deadlines, I have to
make the purchase, I have to answer

97
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.439
the calls. If I know,
the list is endless and to some extent

98
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:56.639
true, but in reality we all
have much more freedom about how to use

99
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.560
our time than we usually think.
Evidently, you have to go shopping,

100
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.360
you have to pay taxes, you
have to take the dog out for a

101
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.199
walk. But if we go over
the list of all the commitments we'

102
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:13.000
re making with other people, you' re going to realize that many of

103
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.120
those activities that you think are necessary
are just commitments that you' re making.

104
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.480
You choose to do those things,
and that' s fine. But

105
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.720
it' s okay if you get
something good from them. And many times

106
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:35.000
we do things, we put on
obligations that we are simply taking on because

107
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.679
of a wrong sense of courtesy or
a sense of obligation, and we have

108
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:46.159
to stop doing so. All those
unnecessary and uncompromising commitments may not be taking

109
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.200
too much time, but if you
add them up, you' re all

110
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:56.360
going to see that you' re
losing many, many hours, every week

111
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.480
and, in any case, you
have a lot more wave options than you

112
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.960
think. Even when you have to
do something, yes or yes, you

113
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.440
have a lot of freedom to decide
how to do it. If you have

114
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.399
to go to work, then you
can choose how to move to work.

115
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.080
You can go by public transport,
you can go by car, for example,

116
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:20.000
or walk. The choice is yours
and some options will be better for

117
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.000
your body or better for the environment
than others, Even if you have no

118
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.799
choice but to go by car,
you can also choose. You can choose,

119
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.679
for example, if you go alone
or if you share the car worth.

120
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.720
You can' t share the good
car, you can still choose what

121
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.039
you do while driving alone. You' re listening to music, you'

122
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.440
re listening to the news, you' re listening to a podcast, you

123
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.279
' re listening to an audio book, you' re talking on the phone

124
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.120
or you' re going to go
fighting with the other drivers. As small

125
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:54.720
as these decisions seem, they have
the ability to completely transform our experience.

126
00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.600
If we listen to quiet music,
we will turn at the time of driving

127
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.639
the job, into a moment of
relaxation. If we put on an audio

128
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.639
book, we will turn it into
a time of learning and if we fight

129
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.200
with the other drivers, we will
be once again throwing our time away.

130
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.559
Think, for example, of that
situation that we all live in every day,

131
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.720
that situation in which you are waiting
for something to happen. You'

132
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.039
re waiting for your phone to be
picked up, you' re waiting for

133
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.720
the elevator, you' re waiting
for the waiter to bring you the bill.

134
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.159
You' re waiting for what you' re cooking to be finished cooking.

135
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.399
Many of these experiences last only a
few minutes or a few seconds,

136
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:43.039
but all the experiences add up and
what we do most people how we fill

137
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:48.399
that empty time while waiting to pick
up the mobile phone. Looking at the

138
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:54.919
phone has become the default activity of
most of us when we have a little

139
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.840
bit of free time, even a
few seconds, and that makes us spend

140
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.639
a lot of our free time as
if we were zombies in front of a

141
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.519
screen. If they' re not
our phones they' re our computers and

142
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.559
if they' re not our computers
it' s television. No one forces

143
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.879
us to waste our time that way. We can always make better use of

144
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.600
that time, even if it'
s two minutes. So the next time

145
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.919
you' re waiting somewhere and you' re tempted to hold your hand in

146
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:33.879
your pocket and pull your cell phone
out for and breathe, there' s

147
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:39.080
some urgent information you need to look
at right now, or you just want

148
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.960
to fill the void. You feel
uncomfortable thinking about your things, watching the

149
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.840
world around you think about it and
if you' re just doing it so

150
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.600
you don' t feel uncomfortable,
don' t look around. Watch people

151
00:11:52.679 --> 00:12:01.080
breathe consciously, do even some stretching, anything that helps you to be in

152
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.600
tune with your body, your mind, and the environment, which is exactly

153
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:11.120
the three things you lose when you
jump immediately to pick up the phone.

154
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.720
That is called to pay full attention, and full attention helps us to enjoy

155
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:24.159
more of the present moment. What
happens is that during the day many of

156
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:30.639
us are so lost in our worries
that we forget to pay attention to the

157
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.159
world around us. And the goal
is to get your mind out of that

158
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.679
state of distraction, get you back
to the present moment. Think this could

159
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:46.559
literally be the last time you'
re in that place here, in your

160
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.600
house, wherever, wherever. I' m telling you straight. There are

161
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.279
terrible things that can happen to us
in the blink of an eye without warning

162
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.320
in seconds. And all we know
for sure is that one day we'

163
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.399
re going to die. And that
day can be today, it can be

164
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:11.440
tomorrow, it can be in twenty
years or fifty. We just don'

165
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:11.759
t know. And that' s
what it' s about. And that

166
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:18.039
' s why I invite you to
taste every moment as if it were the

167
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.639
last, because c is that it
could actually be the last. Literally,

168
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.840
it could be the last one.
We don' t know. The next

169
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:30.320
time you' re eating, for
example, stop doing anything else loose to

170
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.200
your mobile and get all your attention
into what you' re experiencing, in

171
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.960
the flavors, in the smells,
in the textures of the food. Give

172
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.360
each bite the time it deserves to
chew well swallow and then pass to the

173
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:50.039
next bite. Observe the muscle sensations
that intervene in the whole eating process and

174
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.080
if you do that, you will
enrich the experience and make those minutes remain

175
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.960
engraved in your mind and that somehow
has lengthened the time. They allow you

176
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.240
to discern fruiting more than you are
doing, not only because you eat slower

177
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.480
than that is already a thing to
keep in mind and a healthy thing,

178
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.600
but also because you eat more attentively. When you pay attention to what you

179
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:18.600
do, time goes slower. And
this doesn' t just apply to eating,

180
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.200
it applies to anything. You can
practice that kind of simple mindful with

181
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.799
the music you hear in the car, with the background noises you hear on

182
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.320
the street with the physical sensations that
makes you give yourself a hot bath whatever

183
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:39.120
you want. You can be aware
of everything, so you know that.

184
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:46.080
Maybe you can' t stop time
literally, but you can slow it down,

185
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:48.879
you can make more of it,
you can use it in a smarter

186
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.240
way. You can be more aware
of what you do. Save time to

187
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:58.840
practice full attention to do things that
really bring you something positive. Remember those

188
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.600
five ten plants in the garden of
your life and the end result of doing

189
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.840
all that is nothing but temporary prosperity, which is certainly something that will help

190
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:16.039
you live better. If you liked
