Think about your priorities. I’ll bet it took you some time to remember what they are. Today GenuLines nudges you toward putting what matters most to you at the top of your list.
Make Sure Your Priorities Are What Matter Most to You
Your success can hinge on focusing on your priorities. It’s easy to get caught up in unimportant things such as social media and life’s little dramas.
Forgetting this will hinder your progress.
Let’s say you had a dream to own your own business. But you held off on taking action because of job and family priorities.
You can find a healthy balance between those duties and pursuing your dreams.
Having your priorities out of whack can be very mentally draining, too. Focusing on stuff that holds you back from your goals can stress you out.
And you may not even be aware of it.
You get tired of doing a lot of work for no gain, like helping everyone else with their projects. You can put plenty of hours into helping your coworkers and friends.
But that doesn’t mean you’re going to get much out of it besides a thank you.
This is unfulfilling work, and you shouldn’t let it hold you back from accomplishing your dreams. There’s also an emotional benefit to having your priorities in order.
It comes from the self-satisfaction of knowing you achieved or moved closer to you goal.
Sleep on it
You don’t want to go to sleep each night knowing you didn’t make any forward progress. Doing things to their completion puts a positive light on your week, month or even year.
This forward motion will give you more of a sense of well-being.
To get your priorities on track, you first have to identify the main cause of stress or displeasure in your life. For example, you might have a job that you can’t stand go to.
You wake up every day dreading the trip to work.
This should be your starting point for change – spend your time searching for other jobs. Make it your primary focus.
Once you have your job sorted out you might take on other issues. Are your car troubles stressing you out?
That can be your next priority – getting the car repaired or selling it to buy a new one. Always focus on the primary cause of your stress in the moment.
You’ll be more likely to live a happier, stress-free life.
