How to identify your priorities and stick to them

The other day I posted about how to overcome procrastination and briefly mentioned that it is important to identify your priorities and stick to them. But as always this is easier said than done. I always tell my clients to first distinguish between what needs more attention vs less. Then I ask them how would you like to spend more time/how would you like to spend less time. What is most important to you right now? And lastly, if you could do anything right now without any limitations what would it be?

Asking yourself these questions and then picking out what stands the most out to you will help you narrow down all that you feel you must accomplish. Pick one thing from that list that you have identified as the most important and finish it first. This exercise can greatly help you find your priorities and feel a little less overwhelmed.

Monday The benefits of mindfulness and meditation for reducing anxiety

The topic of mindfulness and meditation came up in one of my recent sessions and I thought I’d share a little bit about the importance of mindfulness. Research has shown using mindfulness is a helpful tool that can help reduce anxiety. Learning to be a mindful person allows you to become more reflective rather than reactive and focuses your attention on the present moment. Thinking in the present counters thoughts about worrying about the future such as “I need to remember to pay the bills” or thoughts about the past like “I shouldn’t have said that.” While it is important to learn from the past to plan, constantly thinking in these modes can cause a lot of stress. Instead, combating these negative emotions with awareness allows us to be more open to our emotions and therefore react to a stressful situation in a more conscious way. While mindfulness will not help reduce anxiety overnight, with enough consistent practice you can learn to counteract your worrying.
