sometimes don't you

0:02

just need a quick moment of

0:05

inspiration. Or maybe you just

0:05

need a moment of caffeinated

0:08

contemplation to reflect on

0:08

life. That's the idea behind my

0:11

weekly coffee with Nicola

0:11

espresso shots. I'll be sharing

0:15

short jolts of inspiration in

0:15

each clip, in addition to my

0:19

longer Coffee with Nicoa

interview episodes, make sure to

0:23

espresso shot, or a full length

0:26

Coffee with Nicoa interview

0:26

created just for you. Hey,

0:31

everybody, it's Nicoa. And this

0:31

is your weekly espresso shot. I

0:35

am just dropping in here to

0:35

remind you to take your time.

0:39

Take your time. You know, I

0:39

noticed somebody Well, my mother

0:44

for one. But I also noticed

0:44

somebody in line the other day,

0:47

apologizing to me because they

0:47

were trying to get a credit card

0:52

to work or something was going

0:52

on with their purchase. And it

0:54

was taking time. Right? And she

0:54

kept apologizing. I said, Hey,

0:59

take your time. Because it's her

0:59

time. And the reason that people

1:04

say, Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so

1:04

sorry. They the reason they do

1:08

it is because they're insecure.

1:08

They don't want to be judged.

1:10

There's something in their

1:10

belief system that says, I'm not

1:14

enough. I'm not worthy of this

1:14

space I'm in right now. Nor am I

1:18

worthy to take my time.

1:18

Sometimes people are raised to

1:24

always be apologetic and

1:24

different in the way in which

1:27

they interact with people around

1:27

them. But I invite you to not be

1:33

apologetic. And instead of

1:33

apologizing, perhaps say thank

1:38

you so much for waiting. And

1:38

then give your statement or

1:42

don't. You don't even have to

1:42

say thank you. People People are

1:47

grown, they can leave the line

1:47

and go get in another line if

1:51

they want to. You know, taking

1:51

your time can show up in another

1:54

way too. Now, I'm not talking

1:54

about when the light is yellow,

1:59

and you're walking extra slow

1:59

across the light, you know,

2:01

across the intersection. Don't

2:01

take your time there. That's

2:05

annoying. But do take your time

2:05

as you go about your day. And

2:11

when I mean go about your day, I

2:11

mean standing up to walk to the

2:14

restroom, going outside to get

2:14

the mail, walking downstairs to

2:19

get some water, getting in your

2:19

car, getting out of your car and

2:24

walking into your appointment.

2:24

You would be surprised how

2:30

equivalent the hurrying is to

2:30

your timeframes of getting

2:34

somewhere My point is just

2:34

because you run doesn't mean

2:38

you're gonna get into the

2:38

doctor's appointment, you know,

2:40

any sooner. Right? Even if

2:40

you're late, right, you're still

2:45

it's probably the same amount of

2:45

time until they call you back.

2:48

So there's really no reason to

2:48

exert unnecessary energy

2:53

throughout your day hurrying not

2:53

only that, your energy in your

2:58

body is in a state of stress,

2:58

and hairiness and hurriedness

3:05

and anxiety and it's sending

3:05

those, those cortisol, you know,

3:11

shots into your thigh, right? So

3:11

notice that sometimes your

3:16

highly sense sense of urgency is

3:16

unnecessary. And see how much

3:23

energy and calm that would

3:23

create if you just took your

3:28

time. If you just were present

3:28

with each step, take your time.

3:36

Take your time. And I invite you

3:36

to journal about that this week.

3:42

I thank you everyone for

3:42

listening. And here's to a happy

3:46

spring. Take your time make sure
