Welcome. In this article I’m going to walk through a discussion with you about your gifts in the way you see and hold time, the challenges that arise from these natural tendencies, and some suggestions for ways to keep moving forward.
In my initial discussion about time (click here to read) I explored the idea that all the HealthTypes have a natural space for the way they experience time, and this feels comfortable for our minds. Accordingly, our bodies follow suit, as our bodies get their information about how to feel from our minds.
There is no better or worse way to experience time – just different ways. The challenges arise when we experience tension around time. When our minds feel pressure.
The tension and pressure that Guardians & Diplomats are most predisposed to experiencing is the feeling of being rushed. Time “getting away”. Things are changing and moving “too fast” or when you’re “not ready yet.”
You are not lazy. You are not slow. You just naturally hold the past. This is your gift.
Your Natural Genius & Gifts
All of these beautiful gifts flow from your ability to carry. Carry the past, the memories, the deep and true lessons about what it means to be a family, to be a community, to be part of the planet. That’s a lot to carry. So of course it doesn’t make you want to jump or fly all the time.
A major contributing element to this state are the hormones that you are most receptive to:
Prolactin (Guardians): the satisfaction that comes from satisfying someone else. It is a selfless hormone. Feeling good from giving. Literally, as a major hormone in breastfeeding, it rises while the baby feeds (not before), and only peaks after the baby has stopped suckling. When they are fully satisfied, then you are. This is how it works in all relationships (not just in breastfeeding).
Serotonin (Diplomats): the feeling of satisfaction, comfort. These feelings only come after a period of time. After being settled. Literally, after a good thorough digestion of something, as 80% of serotonin is produced in the gut.
Considerations I invite you to bear in mind…
Suggestions for steps to take to keep moving forward…
Lay down your burden from time to time.
It can be hard going, moving forward from the past, but that’s why we do it together. You are built for this – you are built to outlast. To endure. To carry yourself and all of us, through all the times.
