Priorities
Every now and then we have to have an honest conversation with ourselves about what we are prioritizing in our life.
To set priorities is like turning on the GPS towards your dreamed destiny in your life car. When you do it, the path automatically will show up and you just have to drive towards it.
Pedro and I have been talking a lot about it as it’s one of my biggest challenges to prioritize my planning, which ends up being a cause of stress for our whole family.
We both work in very different ways. What works for him not always works for me, and vice versa (which I believe to be true to most couples).
As I listened to my dear mastermind friends today talking about having acceptance towards those habits and thoughts that insist to come back.
Mostly when our energy levels are low.
Mostly when we need to be at our best.
I already committed to transform my planning and prioritizing me and my family several times, but as soon as my energy is low:
I fall back,
I forget my promise and
I prioritize whatever comes up.
Earlier in my life I would blame myself, feeling ashamed for not being able to control it.
Now I accept that it’s part of me and it is something I must work on everyday to improve.
Acceptance is not defeat.
It’s not giving up.
Acceptance is letting go of the guilt and return to our path.
It’s just like we miss the entrance the GPS was directing us to.
It doesn’t say “pay attention! You missed it again. That way you’ll never going to get there.”
Instead the GPS only says: “recalculating route” and it sends you back on track.
No shame, no guilt.
Only acceptance and finding a different path that will lead you to your goal.
What is the first thing your mind goes to when you read this post?
My romantic life
My commitments to myself, my body and wellbeing
My financial situation
My planning and priorities
It didn’t remind me of anything. I overcame those paradigms.
