My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...

At first I kept changing the battery every few weeks, but suddenly I would notice that the time jumped back an hour. I eventually purchased a new watch, thinking that it simply needed replacement, however this was not the case - the new watch followed the same routine.
I remembered either hearing or reading somewhere, that some people have difficulty wearing a watch because something in their skin interferes with the battery. I had also read that it could possibly be contributed to something about the wearers energy.
I started to have an “inner feeling” that this freaky thing was happening to me for a reason other than just a watch issue. Something kept telling me to remove the watch and stop being so consumed with time. So I tried an experiment - I took the watch off and placed it in my desk drawer and forbid myself to put it back on or even look at it.
On the days that I needed to be at work, I allowed myself to keep an eye on the alarm clock, but other than that throughout the day, I tried not to look at any time mechanism.
This experiment caused me to notice how many times I habitually wanted to look at my watch. I was so overly concerned with what time it was, making sure I was keeping up with it; yet ironically, the more I looked at the time…the less aware I was of my natural ability to have an energetic rhythm with it.
I always seemed to be thinking that the time should have been later…when in fact, is was earlier.
(thus the reason for my watch always running an hour behind)
This also has taught me a great lesson about in staying in the moment and enjoying the present. I realized how much I was either thinking about the past or projecting into the future.
Since I’ve tried this experiment, I’ve been able to really enjoy my days off too. By not looking at a watch all day, concerning myself with a time frame, I’ve been presented with some of the most magical moments that the present time has given me.
I do believe that watches and clocks serve a practical purpose in my life and I need to look at them occasionally, however, when I become needlessly consumed with them…it causes me unnecessary stress.
It’s been a while since I no longer wear a time piece. And what I find incredibly interesting, is that I’m NEVER late. I’ve even gotten to the point where I sometimes just KNOW what time it is.
They say that on an energetic level, all time is happening simultaneously. And if this is true…then what the hell am I so concerned with?
Because it’s all happening in this moment anyway….
