Life is a busy, complicated assortment of commitments, to-do lists, chores, endless emails, facebook and maintaining relationships and expectations from ourselves, bosses, customers, clients, suppliers, friends and loved ones.
No wonder we go to bed exhausted, sleep fitfully and wake up un-rested.
We can become first responders to anything, which comes up in the moment. We stop what we are doing and give this new
thing our full attention.
As a personal opinion – this is why the new cell phones are so distracting. Does yours ping every time you get an incoming message? Do you stop whatever you are doing and react?
Regardless of our present situation, we can make changes to create the lifestyle we desire and deserve. We are on a path to make a big change in our lives as we choose to fulfill a passion or solve a problem. So let’s do all we can to make it happen.
An important technique we can use is to set our priorities each and every day. As we review our dreams and goals, we must choose the most important task and make it our first priority for the day. A priority that regardless of what else we accomplish at work and at home, we get this one item finished.
We already have priorities in our life – some of them are our daily habits – our routines, others are chosen for us –work schedule, family commitments and schedules.
Now we can also choose the priorities we need to achieve our goals.
To get started:
1. conscientiously set the priorities – enter it into your schedule
2. keep them simple – take small, consistent steps
3. live the priority – tackle the priority with joy and happiness.
Remember, we are choosing this priority so find the pleasure in doing it.
