How to Prioritize Your Goals

 

Let's talk about prioritizing our goals.

I was talking to a friend who is scattered. He wants to do a podcast. He wants to create more classes. He wants to bring in more clients.

He wants to, wants to, wants to....

Well, you know the saying about having too many irons in the fire.

He is trying to do soooo many things that he's completely overwhelmed.

He's frozen. And he's not doing ANY of them!

Have you ever felt this way?

I advised my friend to identify the most important goals out of all the things he wants to do.

He's going to start by writing everything down, circle the top three, break them down into steps, and create a timeline of when to get them done. He'll take some of the other irons out of the fire for now.

If you're feeling overwhelmed like my friend, I will say the same thing to you.

  1. First, take a deep breath, and if you've been frozen by overwhelm, let yourself thaw out.
  2. Write down all the things you want or need to do.
  3. Circle the top three priorities. You're going to focus exclusively on them.
  4. Break these priorities down into small, actionable steps. (By the way, you don't need to know all the steps. Figure out the first few and trust that the path will become clear as you take action.)
  5. Create a timeline for getting them done. 

As Frank Sonnenberg says,  “If everything’s a priority, then nothing’s a priority.”

So, what are your top three? 

Share them with me or a friend to broadcast your intentions loud and clear!

I hope you have an amazing day.

Losing Weight with Mindful Eating

 

Today I want to talk to you about mindful eating. I absolutely love this meditation because I love food, and it helps me to lose weight when I apply it effectively. Watch the video below to learn more.

For this example, I'm going to use a strawberry, but it doesn't matter what you are eating. When I'm having nachos, I make it a point to make the perfect nacho.  

The first thing we want to do is have gratitude for the food that is nourishing your body. Say to it, “Thank you for giving me health and energy.”

Next, truly look at your food, admire how beautiful it is, and appreciate it visually. 

Finally, when you take a bite, take that one small bite, and chew it at least 50 times until it's an absolute liquid in your mouth. With every bite you take, feel what it's like in between your teeth. Relish what it tastes like on your tongue. I want you to enjoy and savor every bite. 

This helps you lose weight because you're not mindlessly eating. Mindful eating involves slowing down and savoring each bite. Because you're eating so slow, the mind has enough time to get the message when you're actually full. 

You don't actually need to put a lot of food into your system. You're given so much food at a restaurant that you feel like you have to eat it. You can actually get by on much smaller amounts than you’re generally putting on your plate. 

So today, enjoy your mindful eating.  Savor the taste of each bite and enjoy losing the weight.
