You know the saying, “easier said than done”, unfortunately I do. As a life coach, I often times fond myself aiding my clients in creating and managing priorities. As an outsider it is easy for me to stay objective and see a path to success, but when the tables are turned and I want something for myself, it’s not so easy to see how it’s all going to come together.
So with this said, there is something that I want real bad, and in order to get what I want, I need a substantial amount of money. Right now, I most certainly do not have the funds to get what I want, so I am faced with an opportunity to shift my priorities and re-evaluate my current priorities and spending patterns. … Big sigh. I don’t really want to take a closer look at my spending habits, because I know what I’m an about to find. I’m about to discover that in order for me to work towards this thing that I really want, a serious overhaul of my behavior in required.
As much as I would like to pretend that I am fiscally responsible, this new priority is allowing the opportunity to discover some truth about myself, and to be honest it’s a little uncomfortable. I am committing to adjusting my current behaviors in order to get what I want, and I’ll admit that it’s not going to be easy for me. What I do know is this, for me to be successful in this mission; I need to create very realistic and achievable goals for myself.
Throughout this process of reprioritizing and shifting behaviors, I will remember to be kind to myself and not to get frustrated. I will also acknowledge my progress and reward myself accordingly, so that I remain committed to the end goal, and enjoy the process. At the end of this mission, I know I’ll be very proud of myself for all the work that I have done…it will be worth it.
Some questions for you:
When’s the last time you examined your priorities?
What are your priorities?
Is there fear in shifting your priorities? If so, where is that fear coming from?
What are you willing to do in order to accomplish what you want?
Stay tuned on my progress and wish me luck!
Hope to hear from you all,
Talia
