Time Surfing

Book excerpt: Who has time these days? Any moments that haven’t already been accounted for are swallowed up by smartphones, social media and working into the evening hours. But stress also comes from within; if you learn to time surf you will rediscover calm in your life. This book will inspire and guide you to choose peace as a basis for carrying out all your daily activities, whether at work or in the home. The approach is based on a step-by-step method called Time Surfing, which consists of seven simple and easy-to-learn instructions backed with targeted tips and techniques. Routed in Zen Buddhism, the emphasis is very much on making the most of the time you have rather than trying to control time itself. Suitable for everyone, Time Surfing is based on your natural behaviour; the more you apply the instructions the easier it becomes. The instructions will feel instinctive, and will make it possible for you to surf over the waves of time. You will learn that you can trust your intuition when it comes to choosing what to do. As a result, your actions are not only inspired but also very effective. The focus you experience will be relaxed and unforced. But, more than anything else, an inner sense of calm will arise. Time Surfing has proven popular in the business world. Companies and occupational health organisations such as Delta Lloyd, the Trimbos Instituut and De Persgroep are introducing their employees to the Time Surfing techniques.
