There are many types of bandits in the world. We all know about train robbers, highwaymen, and cattle rustlers, oh, my! What about those bandits who are stealing our time? It seems like we never have enough time to exercise, eat right, or get a good night’s sleep. What if that wasn’t true and was just a story we’re telling ourselves? What if the real bandit was just the way we were looking at our lives? This week, Catherine and Donald talk about how we often tell ourselves that we don’t have time and then act in a way that proves ourselves right. By reframing our narratives about time, we can change our identities from “I don’t have time” to “I’m the kind of person who makes room for things that matter”. Plus, Catherine watches one inappropriate movie after another, Donald wonders when he can start blaming other people for things, and even toasters can be traumatizing.
