ALIGNING YOUR PRIORITIES “Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.” Stephen R Covey Priorities are the areas/topics/people/activities of your life that are most meaningful to you. Despite their importance, many of us are unclear about what priorities are, which increases our stress as we are constantly juggling our time, money, energy, etc. It can be challenging to decide which aspects of our lives are top priorities, especially when we are caught in the grind of keeping up with life. It is important to clearly define your priorities because it allows you clarity and clarity equals power. Knowing your priorities keeps you on track to achieving your goals, allowing for more peace in your life, and actually propelling you to accomplishing more while living in joy and authenticity. We find ourselves in patterns where we let the days run us, and then we’re surprised by the outcomes of our lives. We don't make deliberate choices and still feel shocked when we evaluate “how did I get here?’ Failing to realize it was a series of saying “yes’ to decisions that should have been a “hard no.” Do you prioritize areas of your life and make intentional decisions based on those priorities or do you go with the flow and leave everything to chance? In life we often are faced with choices that are in direct conflict with our priorities. Example: You know that spending time with your family is a priority of yours. At work, you are offered a fantastic promotion which requires more travel than you would like. Travel separates you from your loved ones. If your priorities aren’t at the top of your mind you may say yes and then be stuck in a place of stress and not aligned with your priority of being with your family. If you remember your family as priority you will be able to make the decision that best suits you. The key is to know what matters most to you, before you’re faced with a decision, and to be unwilling to compromise on those priorities. It’s time to assign your top priorities so you are in alignment with your mission, vision and values, and the path to your ascent! Use the space below to write down the names of the things and people who bring you the most joy, pride, a feeling of success, happiness, momentum, etc. List the things that are non-negotiable as far as being allowed the time in your daily life. Where you know you absolutely must spend time, non- negotiable. _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Committing to Improvement and constant evolution is easier with The Focus Five! In a world filled with endless distractions and competing priorities, the key to personal growth often lies in focusing on a select few areas that truly matter. The “Focus 5” approach advocates for directing our energy towards five core aspects of life: health, finance, business, spiritual well-being, and personal relationships. While each of these areas holds significance in our lives, committing to the improvement of just one aspect in each of these five areas over time and commitment will lead to profound changes and lasting benefits. Today, let’s hone in on the importance of selecting one priority within each of these categories and dedicating ourselves to its enhancement. 1. Health: Whether it’s physical fitness, mental well-being, or dietary habits, our health forms the foundation of a fulfilling life. Choosing to prioritize one aspect of health, such as regular exercise or better sleep hygiene, can have a ripple effect on every other area of our lives. 2. Finance: Financial stability and security are essential for peace of mind and pursuing our goals. Whether it’s budgeting, saving, or investing, committing to improving our financial literacy and habits can pave the way for future success and reduce stress. 3. Business: For entrepreneurs and professionals alike, continual growth and innovation are crucial for staying competitive. By focusing on enhancing a specific skill set, expanding networks, or refining business strategies, individuals can position themselves for advancement and fulfillment in their careers. 4. Spiritual Well-being: Nurturing our spiritual selves is just as important as tending to our physical and financial needs. Whether through meditation, prayer, or acts of service, dedicating time to deepen our connection with something greater than ourselves can provide clarity, purpose, and inner peace. 5. Personal Relationships: Our relationships with friends, family, and loved ones significantly impact our happiness and well-being. By committing to improving communication, fostering empathy, or investing quality time in our relationships, we can cultivate stronger bonds and a more supportive social network. In conclusion, the Focus 5 approach challenges us to identify one priority within each realm of health, finance, business, spiritual well-being, and personal relationships, and commit to its improvement. By focusing our efforts and attention, we can make meaningful strides towards a more balanced, fulfilling, and successful life. What will you choose to prioritize today?
