Episode description

Ever notice how reaching for your phone first thing in the morning sets your entire day on autopilot? Or how one mindless scroll leads to an hour lost online? The key to breaking these cycles might be simpler than you think.

The 10-minute time gap is a remarkably powerful technique that can transform your relationship with habits you'd prefer to minimize. It's not about elimination or restriction—just awareness. By creating a brief pause between impulse and action, you shift from unconscious behavior to conscious choice. Whether it's overspending, overindulging, or over-scrolling, that small delay creates space for mindfulness to enter.

And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)! All you have to do is:

Simple as that!

Introducing the 10-minute time gap

Speaker 1

Welcome to Let it Be Easy with Susie Moore . I have a quick tip for you today that can just give you your life back . You can implement this anytime , any place . It is the 10-minute time gap . 10 minutes , that's it , delaying your vices . So often when we take an action , that might have a side effect that we don't love .

Maybe it's overspending , overeating , overdrinking , whatever it is right . We're all a little different . Overscrolling is a big one . Whenever we do it , there is a side effect , meaning we're depleted , we spend money we don't want to spend , our health suffers as a result , and these behaviors are largely unconscious thinking oh , what can I complete now ?

Or how can I ? You know ? Maybe I'll take a couple of deep breaths and center myself . I'll just reach for the scroll where I'll go

Practical applications in daily life

straight into it . I'll go into the doom scrolling immediately . Whatever it is in your life that you might like to do less of , even it could even be gossiping . I mean , really , this can take any form . Implementing a 10 minute time gap can change everything , because this is how we go from unconsciousness just chiming in with the gossip .

You know , saying yes to that thing in the email . Oh yeah , I'll buy that because it's on sale , or yeah , I'll have a drink , or yeah , I'll have a vape or whatever it is that you think I would like . Less of this in my life . This isn't shaving any of those things . It's your life , it's your call .

But if you institute this 10 minute delay , so just say you get home at 6 pm . The first thing you do is go to the bar what if there was just a 10 minute break ? Took off your shoes , had a little stretch , pet your dog , pet your cat , put your hair up , put your comfy clothes on . I put your hair up , put your comfy clothes on .

That 10 minute gap , not only in a lot of cases , can remove the behavior . I've seen this happen where behaviors are removed when they become conscious . It can also just push it out to later in the day , you know , especially if there's something that requires more and more .

So I know when I was coaching a lady she was like look , as soon as I start going for it with desserts , like that's it at a buffet . I'm like what if there were a 10 minute gap ? What if , after you finish your savory food , you have like a sip of tea , you chill and then you go for dessert ?

She's like it's amazing how much less you even eat as a result of being conscious . It's not let me get my money's worth . Let me do it now . Let me rush chase , let me just like do what I usually do in these situations . It's not following pre-programmed behavior , it's coming back , it's being awake , it's living in awareness .

10 minutes , my friends can do a lot . What if ? What if this can change your life ? You wake up each morning and instead of you know putting your arm , picking up your phone and turning off your alarm , or even just picking up your phone as soon as you crack a knife , you don't have an alarm .

And seeing the news , checking the TikTok , looking at your email , seeing your WhatsApp all the things you had 10 minutes , you just sat there . You just marveled at the fact that , yeah , you woke up today . The sun is going to rise or it's already risen . Here you are , breathing , living during your temporary

Morning routine transformation

time on planet earth . A 10 minute delay from waking to checking your phone can change the entire course of your day , because the tone is set immediately . I want to know where you could apply this . Let me know on Instagram . I'm at suzymore . Where can you insert you a 10 minute time delay .

You can apply this to anything , anything that you would like to do less of . We allow an awareness , we're awake , we are conscious , and then we might make the same choices . Great , at least we're awake , we are conscious , and then we might make the same choices . Great , at least we're making them consciously . Or maybe we choose something else .

Until tomorrow , my friends , and so much love
