Prioritizing life values reconnects personal priorities that matter most to you…
“Experience Your Life By Prioritizing Life Values And Fill The Gaps With All Missing Pieces Together!”
Want to prioritize your life, make more time for experiencing your goals, having fun and enjoying your life without feeling guilty? Great you’ve in the right place…
The reality is for many people life feels like they have two options…
Achieving goals…
OR
Enjoying life…
Either one of can feel as if they’re one hundred percent fulfilled.
There is a broad spectrum on the scale of go-getters and over-achievers to those who slack in all departments.
How many times have you caught yourself saying you don’t have enough time..
Or there isn’t enough time in the day?
Dear Friend,
Honestly is this really the truth?
There are many books on the subject of how to be highly successful as well as how to achieve happiness.
If you’re like most people…
You probably think success is for other people?
People who are super extraordinary…
And you feel you don’t fall into the mix?
The demands of work, career, education, family and homeownership…
It all seems to take priority over enjoyment.
Relaxation time may be scheduled as a once-a-month outing or even an annual vacation.
However, even those pleasures maybe filled with work!
There’s planning and scheduling…
And not enough time?
Are you waiting for retirement to enjoy your life?
Many people feel as though they are waiting for life to happen.
Instead of taking control and creating the life they want.
Do you want more time to achieve goals?
Do you want more time to enjoy life?
If so, you are certainly not alone.
Finding Balance…
What if you think about life as being balanced?
Picture a seesaw in the position of being balanced…
You’re in the middle with no ups, no downs…
And you’re managing to stay in the middle.
Of course, life doesn’t always work like that.
There are ups and there are most certainly downs.
Sometimes you might feel as though you just want to jump off the seesaw…
And lay on the ground for a little while just to get your breath back.
What does it mean to be in balance?
What if life has trials, tribulations and difficulties?
When you are in balance, you maintain equilibrium…
While life’s ups and downs come and go.
Of course, you go through and experience various emotions.
These are caused by circumstances…
Both good and not so good working their way through your life.
However, being in balance means you get to choose…
The choice is between how long you stay in the down position.
Of course, realistically, you can’t always stay up on the seesaw of life.
But you can choose how you feel…
And what your action steps are going to be while you’re down.
Being in balance means being intentional.
No matter how hard it is…
You’re choosing how you will show up under any given circumstance.
How do you really achieve balance?
You can achieve balance in several ways…
Feel your emotions and move quickly through them.
It’s perfectly fine to feel emotional when the roller coaster of life gets too fast and furious.
Feel what you need to feel…
And move quickly on to the next step.
The next step after feeling is action.
If something doesn’t feel right, chances are it isn’t right.
The next logical step to create more space in your life.
You do this by fulfilling goals and managing time for enjoyment is action.
Choose an action step to recreate the scene.
If you’ve lost a job, fire up your resume.
If your home needs a repair, start asking family and friends for referrals on contractors.
Don’t just sit and stew about what happened…
Take the appropriate time to recreate what happens next.
The faster you barrel through the downs of life…
The sooner you can get back up.
It’s simply a matter of gravity.
Put your feet on the floor and bounce up again.
So what’s your story?
Don you need to regurgitate the same old stories repeatedly?
The more you talk about what happened…
How unfair it was…
And what a nuisance it was…
The more time and energy you expend.
Your time and energy is valuable and must be used for better purposes.
You can create answers to your problem.
And you can spend much more time enjoying your life.
Including setting and achieving goals.
What if you find yourself faced with a problem…
Take the energy needed to create an answer rather than dwell only on the issue at hand.
We all use energy to get through the day’s events.
However, we get to choose how much energy is spent on each project.
Look at your life as a series of projects.
Now, what is going to plan?
Do you have an amazing successful career or education?
If so, you might be spending all of your time and energy in one area.
And the rest of your life is completely out of balance from family to personal relationships.
Sometimes, the unexpected can throw you off…
How do you hit the reset button when life throws you a curve and knocks you off balance?
Sometimes truthfully, no matter how hard we try not to dwell on something…
We fall back into patterns of thinking and talking about something.
What do you do when you can’t get the needle off the record and you feel stuck?
Call a friend and get an accountability partner!
Ask someone you know to reroute you when you are stuck.
Ask them not to let you dwell on what happened…
And what you cannot control.
You just want help to return to present moment status.
Sometimes all it takes is someone to remind you of that…
To get back in this present moment.
You can step back, see yourself from a safe distance.
Yes! You are fine and all is well…
You might not have all the answers to what will happen in the future.
You can see anything is possible.
Make a choice and make some change.
If you really want to achieve your goals and enjoy life to the fullest…
You must choose where your energy will go.
Make a choice that feel is best in the moment and follow through.
If it doesn’t work out, don’t hold yourself to task because in human nature.
There is always a choice.
You may not like all the choices, but staying stuck won’t ever work.
Make a choice with the information you have in front of you.
And take action steps toward that choice.
You will find yourself balanced, until a more optimal choice presents itself.
At least you are not standing still…
And you’re taking action steps toward a solution.
As compared to constantly focusing on or talking about the problem.
It is okay to be out of balance.
Sometimes there’s a big project at work or a special event at home.
You are out of balance because that event or project takes priority.
A special event, like a wedding for example…
It takes a lot of time, but it will eventually be over…
A home repair or project will come to completion, as well.
An annual meeting at work will soon be nothing but a distant memory.
Sometimes it’s your season to work like a dog to get the job done.
It’s okay to be out of balance for a while on occasion.
Remember it only takes a few minutes every day to get closer towards your goal…
One small action step is better than no action at all.
It’s perfectly fine to be out of balance due to a special meeting or function or life event.
You can still create a daily habit of taking one small actionable step.
One small step towards your personal goal, dream and desire.
Achieving Goals…
Create reasons not excuses.
Even during those times when you have no choice but to be out of balance…
For example a work project is taking up most of your time.
There’s no reason why you cannot set aside a mere five minutes toward a goal.
If you want to author a book, you can write a paragraph in five minutes.
You can edit it later on…
But you can’t edit a blank page.
What if you want to start your own business…
You can write down one paragraph or several notes of a business plan in five minutes.
By the end of the month, all those five minutes will turn into something bigger.
Success is a series of small steps it’s like a snowball effect…
You start small and continue rolling that snowball down the hill.
Before you know it, you have a boulder of success coming your way.
Being goal oriented is good, up to a point.
Some people are obsessed with getting things done.
People who obsess about getting tasks done…
They put everybody and everything before their own hopes, dreams and aspirations.
Then, suddenly, they look around and their life is moving faster as time goes on.
They’ve reached a certain age…
And all of their hopes, dreams and aspirations are nowhere in sight.
Don’t be addicted to getting tasks done for everyone and everything…
Put yourself on the schedule.
Put your dreams on your to-do list.
Be addicted to getting tasks done for you…
And more importantly for your dreams.
Write it down on paper…
This is why so many people struggle.
They simply don’t have a strategy and write it down so they can follow it.
There’s no better or faster way to achieve a goal then to put it down on paper.
Have you ever noticed how items on your to-do list get done…
When you actually write them down and refer back to them?
What if you have goals, dreams and aspirations…
You simply want to enjoy more of life’s simple pleasures, so write it down on paper.
If you want to spend more time in nature, put it down on paper.
If you want to walk down by the beach, write it down.
Believe it or not…
Success becomes more tangible and believable.
It becomes real if you believe in yourself and take action.
Write it down on paper.
You can now look at it as a goal or an item, which is incomplete, if you don’t follow through.
Putting tasks in writing makes them more effective.
Break it up into smaller sections.
When a task looks and feels like a mountain…
It will feel that way until you break it up into smaller stepping stones.
If you have a task to complete, break it up into smaller chunks.
Take the project apart from start to finish…
And spend a few minutes each day breaking it down.
If you want to rent your basement out…
For example…
You go down to basement.
And look at how many days and hours it takes to achieve the goal.
And you might simply throw your hands up and walk away…
Break tasks up into smaller chunks…
Give yourself 15 minutes per day, each day…
Where you clean out one box or one corner.
Before you know it, basement is cleaned out.
And you are ready to move on to the next step.
It’s important you do not exceed 15-minute time limit.
Once the 15 minutes is up…
Go on to the next task…
Take one small step each day even if you don’t feel like doing it.
This is probably one of the most important tips…
Take one, small actionable step every day.
If you want to achieve goals…
You must realize thoughts in your head create your life.
If you feel a dream is unreachable or unobtainable, then it will be.
However, if you take one small actionable step each day…
You soon realize your goals and dreams are possible.
And you will be living life to your fullest.
You might even ask yourself how you got there so quickly.
Your dreams are so important to you…
When you think about how dreams show up in your head…
It’s like these are grand visions.
Maybe yours is of a mansion in California.
Maybe it’s an acceptance speech at the Oscars.
Then you need to check out…
And you tell yourself those dreams are too big.
And too unrealistic.
What if you want to become an actor?
Take on extra work to pay for some acting classes.
What if you want to author a book?
Write one paragraph per day.
Small actionable steps add up to large measurable results…
Get an accountability partner.
Grab a partner and share the experience.
For example…
What if want to lose weight?
Ask someone who is dependable, honest and capable to help keep you on track.
You don’t have to do it alone…
You may also want to explore the following ideas!
This can help you focus on being accountable to yourself.
Record your progress…
Join a mastermind group…
Put a timer on it…
Focus On Your Goals…
Meditate on your goals.
If you’re like most dreamers…
Your dreams are so big and so vast…
You think about them and just as quickly…
You put them aside because they’re too big and too unrealistic.
Simply look at the big dramatic picture of your dreams…
And meditate on your goals.
What if you want to be a successful entrepreneur?
Meditate on the goals you need to put in place in order to achieve your dream.
Sit quietly with the goals you need to achieve…
And one at a time set the goal…
And see yourself achieving each one.
Meditate on your dreams…
Create an emotion associated with your meditative practices.
Meditate on how it feels to be exhilarated once your new dream comes to fruition.
Meditate on how good it feels to be financially abundant and successful.
Feel the energy by visualizing your goals…
Once you’ve chosen vibrations such as excitement, exhilaration, satisfaction and success.
Now it’s time to visualize your goals.
See yourself at a book signing as you visualize…
Feel the energy and what it’s like to work on a remote beach as a successful entrepreneur.
Get into the visualization and the feelings…
Speak about your goals in the present tense.
If you want to live the life of your dreams and be the person you want to be…
It’s time to speak about your goals in the present tense.
When someone asks you what you do for a living…
You can tell them you’re an accountant..
Or whatever it is you do!
Remember to mention you’re upgrading…
On your way to building your own business at the same time.
Get excited about your plans, dreams, goals and accomplishments.
When you speak about your goals, speak with energy and enthusiasm.
What if you feel ashamed, embarrassed or uncomfortable with your visions and desires?
Then so will others….
Look, it’s all in the delivery.
It’s all in the excitement…
If you’re enthusiastic and excited, then others will jump on board.
Create momentum…
Once you have built up enthusiasm and excitement…
It’s easy to get so high there’s no place left except for down.
You come crashing down and don’t want to get back up again.
The best way to achieve goals…
And create a life you love is by creating momentum.
And keeping it going…
How do you create momentum?
You create momentum by staying in action, every day.
It doesn’t have to be a grand scheme.
Just simple action steps.
Whether it is talking enthusiastically about your business…
Creating and generating excitement through marketing…
Keep a steady flow of momentum and watch the magic happen.
Managing Time and Life Areas…
In order to live a whole, full, and complete life, you need to break life down into specific areas.
What are the area most important to you?
Which ones are you most successful in?
Where is there a breakdown and you need to recreate?
If you look at one of the areas and see how successful it is…
You can rest assured this area is one wherein you’re fully accountable.
Have you noticed a specific area falling by the wayside?
You might have to repurpose some time and energy from a super successful area.
In order to create a life you love…
You want to balance success in all areas of your life.
Create a worksheet for each specific area in your life.
For example…
Consider beginning with areas of your life similar to the ones listed below.
Cooking
Cleaning
Food shopping
laundry
Organizing
Scheduling
Finances
Social life
Sleep
Healthy eating
Fitness
Mindfulness
Physical activities and adventures
Travel
Keep the list fresh by adding other areas as needed…
As well as removing any that are not suited to you or needed.
Remember to always make sure your dreams, wants and needs are included in this bucket list.
Time Management…
At the end of the day, it’s all about time management.
When it comes to time management, we don’t want to admit we don’t have it all together.
It’s one of the hardest issues to face and can be a challenge.
However, the good news is it’s very doable.
What’s the hardest task?
Do that one task first…
For some people, filing is the worst administrative task there is…
And for others, it’s filling out paperwork and making phone calls.
Whatever you identify as being your hardest task…
Typically this is the one you should do first.
You’ll find this task to be difficult at first.
Whatever, do it…
As time goes by you’ll be grateful you stuck with it.
If you do nothing else in time management…
This is the best tip you can follow.
These tasks become easier and quicker the more you practice.
Write It Down…
Writing tasks down is very important.
“Forgetting” tends to waste a huge amount of time and effort.
When you write tasks down your mind connects to your body.
This connection channels energy into activity which helps you to remember the task.
Plus, you’ve got a built-in reminder you can refer to if you forget details or specifics.
Seeing tasks on paper helps you to prioritize.
Prioritize Tasks…
In order to prioritize tasks and events…
You must know what must be done.
What needs to be done.
What you want to do…
What is important to you.
Where your priorities are…
And what’s falling by the wayside.
Put tasks in order of what should be done first.
Putting tasks down on paper is the key to getting your life prioritized.
Don’t simply make a to-do list…
Write everything down in order of importance and priority.
If you have to, you can number items.
This drives home the point of how important one item is over another.
Continue to write down what needs to be done.
Defer Tasks…
Don’t be afraid to carry tasks over to the next day.
If you were unable to complete a task, don’t be afraid to carry it over to next day’s to-do list.
Don’t view it as a failure.
View it as a fact and keep on moving.
Moving forward is what’s important at all times.
No matter the day’s successes or failures previously.
What’s the worst that could happen?
What if you don’t get to do everything?
Can it wait?
Will everyone survive?
These simple questions may seem tough?
But you are not making excuses.
You are learning to prioritize.
Once you learn how to prioritize…
You will be in flow with what’s important to you and your life.
Avoiding Procrastination…
The most highly successful people don’t have to deal with procrastination often.
It’s not even in the cards for them.
However, for the rest of us, it’s a reality.
Here are a few tips to deal with procrastination when it strikes:
Allow a few minutes for guilty pleasures but put a timer on it…
Set a schedule for checking social media..
Work on a computer that does not allow or blocks (social media and email)
Time yourself when checking emails or answering them…
Balance Work and Play…
If you’re all work and no play, you are sure to be successful.
The downside to this is mental and/or physical burn out.
If you do anything intensely for too long, burn out will surely follow.
Here are a few tips to keep the scales balanced:
Choose your time to work and stick to it.
Decide, how much if at all, time you will spend on work after hours.
For example reading emails at the dinner table, taking calls during family time, etc…
Leave work at work.
Prioritize your work schedule…
And your personal life will run more smoothly as well.
Learn how to delegate.
Most important of all is learn to say no.
Just like children, we need to schedule free time or play time.
We need to be intentional about our time.
You need to understand that while it’s over, it’s time to let it go.
Playing for too long can lead to procrastination and loss of structure.
Take 5-minute play breaks…
Walk in fresh air…
Hydrate yourself…
Do some deep breathing…
Write in a journal…
All of these help to energize your spirit.
Effectively Use Technology…
There are absolutely no excuses for not being organized and achieving goals.
Gadgets and technology can help you stay on track and help you meet your goals.
There are calorie counters…
And even counters that track your steps.
Take advantage of technology.
Declutter…
If you feel as though your life is chaos, look at your environment.
You are only as productive as your environment you are in.
Take a weekend to clean and organize.
And throw everything out which is of no value to you.
Donate or give it away.
If you haven’t used it in six months…
If it’s not a good reason, then it’s time to let it go.
Organize…
When it comes to organizational skills…
You are in luck because you can create a new habit at any given time.
You can learn new organizational skills that work for you.

And once they are in place, they will stick.
If you backslide, it’s okay.

Pick up where you left off.
Don’t look at major projects like a mountain.
Climb one step at a time.

Don’t beat yourself up so much.
Make time to meet your needs.

Do what you say you are going to do…
And when you say you are going to do it.
Encourage and reward yourself.
Use the reward system….
Yes! Even for little goals uses small rewards.
When you meet larger goals, treat yourself to something big.
There are many challenges we all have to face…
When it comes to achieving your goals, fulfilling dreams…
And living a life you love.
Once you can step out of blaming your childhood…
Life and other people…
You can clearly see you have the power to create a life you truly love…
You are given every tool and habit to choose and implement.
And by taking responsibility you’re actually looking deep within yourself.
You’re looking at your life in more detail and awareness.
You see how you can step up your game…
And show up to shine brighter than ever.
Once you look into your own life…
Instead of looking outwardly and externally…
You recognize where you fall short and create self-discipline in your life.
Creating self-discipline…
You can reset the button for a powerful and productive life.
What thoughts come to mind when you think of taking responsibility and being self-disciplined?
If they are negative thoughts…
You might want to spend time rethinking this thought.
You are a product of your thoughts.
Associate success with taking action…
Success is your responsibility.
And allow self-discipline to guide your choices.
You’ll soon see and experience your life.
You’ll be able to prioritize your life…
What is the order of importance and prioritizing life values.
You will have made much more time to do what you love and enjoy it.
Once you establish new priorities and habits…
You’ll wonder how you ever survived without them.
These are the missing pieces which all fit together to align with core values.
The guiding principles that dictate your behaviors and actions.
Core values help to know what is right from wrong…
Only you can determine if you’re on the right path and fulfilling your goals.
Create an unwavering and unchanging path to live by your beliefs and values…
Set priorities…
Follow your passion…
Achieve balance…
Feel content…
Make a difference…
Live in the moment…
Prioritizing life values and understanding your personal values…
