"I tremendously enjoyed the 6 months I spent with Carrie as my health coach! She helped me by listening and providing gentle guidance. I wasn't looking to change anything dramatic about my health. What I wanted was insight on how to make small tweaks that would make the difference between feeling good and feeling great. She gave me that!

She helped me decide on how my career would go and provided me with words of encouragement when I just wasn't sure what to do. I highly recommend Carrie as a Health and Life coach!"

Quote of the Month

"The key is not to prioritize
what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities."
-  Stephen Covey
 

Simplify With Your Priorities

Living not existing

 

Are you busy all the time, but not actually getting the things done that you want to get done? Does it feel like you are unmotivated or procrastinating? If so, it is typically not that you are uninterested, it is more that you have lost your focus on your priorities for your life. Often life gets so busy that it is easy to have a week or two where you feel off and you get pulled away by little distractions that all add up. write your priorities down

 

We don't need to be focused 100% of the time. In fact our bodies and minds need down time so that we can rejuvenate ourselves. But, when you are being pulled away into a direction that you know is not where you want to spend your time, it can create anxiety, resentment, anger, frustration and stress.

 

When this becomes the norm for you it might be time to check in with yourself and re-evaluate what your priorities are for you and your life.

 

Our priorities will change throughout our life. What you valued in your 20's might not be something you value in your 40's. When was the last time you actually stopped to think about what is really important to you in your life? Try it now.

 

Is your health a priority in your life? Do you want to be healthy? If so, are you making the time to exercise and eat healthier foods? Is your family a priority in your life? If they are, do you greet them with a smile when they enter the room or continue doing what you were doing and say hi without even looking up.

 

We get so busy with the distractions in our life that they can begin to take over our priorities. Then, without even noticing, we just go through the motions of each day. We lose touch with what is important to us and we start to become complacent.

 

When you know what your priorities are, life will automatically simplify because you are focused on living a life based on the things that are important to you. You will be happier and the distractions will no longer be overtaking your day. Ultimately, you will reduce your stress level because you are focusing on the things that are important to you. The little distractions that seemed so important will no longer have the pull on you they once had.

 

If it has been awhile since you evaluated and thought about what your priorities are, then I suggest:

  1. You give yourself a few minutes of quiet time.
  2. Ask yourself what is really important to you.
  3. Write it down and get clear about what your priorities are in life.
  4. Start living each day knowing what your priorities are.
  5. Schedule time for what is important to you and watch your distractions fade.  
  6. Revisit your priorities from time to time and make adjustments where needed.

When you start scheduling your priorities in your life you will enjoy each day more. Try it, you just might be surprised!
