I was listening to a podcast…Tim Ferriss (of The Tim Ferriss Show) interviewing Seth Godin.
Something Seth said really resonated with me. He said…
“You can’t let the world erect boundaries for yourself.”
YOU must be the one to do this, so that you don’t feel the overwhelm of falling behind in your life.
There is most DEFINITELY a correlation between the time in my life where I was drowning in overwhelm and not prioritizing what was integral for me to be the best version of myself.
What is integral for me is having personal discipline for stuff that’s ESSENTIAL to my mental and physical health.
Over the past 4 years I took serious inventory of my life. I looked at how I was spending my time, and thought about how I would like to be spending my time. There was a disconnect and I knew that I had to make changes to have the things I really love in my life.
Since then I’ve given up drinking alcohol and crappy tv. I deleted Facebook on my phone. I prioritize working out and eating healthy because it makes me feel happy. I’m a pleasure seeker with an addictive personality, which makes it THAT much more important that I adhere to my own “rules”. I can attest that living this way has opened up more possibility and room in my life for everything that I truly desire. I found peace and clarity in shutting out the distractions and self-sabotage. My business grew, my art practice flourished and my relationships with my husband and kids deepened.
Make more time for the things that matter.
Light up your brain, move your body and nourish yourself with doing something that you KNOW you’ve been putting off. Stop waiting for permission from someone else to achieve your goals. YOU decide what matters.
And ask yourself this…
How can you clear time in your day to prioritize what’s important to you?
What can you give up to live your best life?
