How do you set your priorities? Do you even have priorities for how you run your life or do you allow things to just run by themselves? There must be priorities or things don’t go the way you want them to, believe me. I did a blog ages ago that showed how I balance life. I realize that although I have grown in that time I still stick to those core principles. I have to ensure I have things the way I should or life might spiral out of control. Trust me it’s easy to lose the control as things just move away from you and have you wondering if there is any way to get it back to how you want it. Imagine allowing others to dictate how you live your life. Yes you might work for someone but do you allow them to determine how you life should be? Is not your downtime yours to “play with”? Explain to me why some would want to control how you live your life outside of work? This is what cause stress and burn out. That’s why when I get home I have no need to think about work. I have to set my priorities and as you will see from my older blog work is nowhere near the top.
Are you someone that reaches for the smart phone as you wake? Or do you do what you want before the world via social media and emails, etc take over? I want to be the one that determines how the day starts and by extension how it progresses. It’s the small things that start the ball rolling. I prefer to have it roll downhill without me putting that much effort into the movement. Uphill is too much and that’s what life is like when you don’t have any control.
What I might do and what you might do are so different when it comes to allowing others to dictate where your life goes and what you should do. I don’t reach for my phone first thing in the morning or even listen to the news. I listen to music and keep calm because the day could go any way and spiral out of control. I guess if the world is burning I will get the news a bit later. Many of the things that we consider so important very often are not. Think about it will the issues matter the following day or any time after? So often it doesn’t. When you allow others to get you to the point where stress is all that you feel, is it worth the problems?
What are your priorities? Do you even know or are you just drifting, hoping that things will work themselves out? Why not decide how you will live instead of having others do it for you? My life is my own and I get to say which way it goes. I should be the one to determine which direction I want to go. Why would I give up that ability? Abdication of my responsibility when it comes to how I should live my life is not something that I will allow.
Let me know as I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife #faithgreaterthanfear
