If I were to ask you what is the most important thing to you right now? What would the answer be? Go ahead and think about it. I know what you think you should probably say, you think you should say, my kids, my husband, my job, you should say something. But what is your first thing? What's the most important thing right now?

Is it your health? Is it having a clean house?

I mentioned a few weeks ago on the podcast that if you get that cancer diagnosis, your health becomes your number one priority.

What does need to be number one is your happiness and how you feel. If you feel sluggish, if you feel fat, if you feel tired, if you feel ugly, if you feel any of these things and overwhelmed about it all, you're not going to be good at anything. It doesn't matter if your kids are a number one priority, or your husband is your number one priority, or your job is your number one priority. If you feel like crap, you're not going to do justice to that priority. So you need to reevaluate what you really, really want.

Here we go into a good conversation about what we're willing to do to meet those priorities. And what that means that we should stop doing. We talk with people who say, you know what, I'm doing all of the things on my list. I'm checking off all the boxes, and I'm still unfulfilled. I am still not happy

If you say I don't have 20 minutes to spend reading books with my kids, but if you check on your phone, and your phone says you have five hours of screen time today…..busted!

If you think my priority is family, my family is my number one thing. How are you choosing that every time when you when you wake up in the morning and you look at your daily schedule? Have you chosen family as a priority? Or do you just really wish you could prioritize it.

In order to be successful and in order to really prove that our priorities are our priorities, look at it as, What am I going to say yes to? And what am I willing to say no to?

You have to say no to something in order to say yes to something else. Life is just a bunch of little choices. People think you have to create this big lifestyle change, but really you just have to say no to one thing.

It's a bunch of little choices, a million little choices, a million little no’s that get you to where you need to be. You must be willing to make that choice and sometimes it's not easy. We have to be clear on what we really want.

Here's our homework for the week. Get yourself really, really, really clear on what your priorities are. List three to five of your priorities. Then list all of things that you are doing that are meeting those priorities. What are you doing that is absolutely fulfilling? If you say my priority is my personal meditation, what are you doing every day to make sure that that happens? Keep doing those things. But if you say my kids are my priority, and you get 10, good, solid minutes with your kids every day. Is that good enough for you? Are you okay with that? If you are, fantastic, stick to it. If you're not, what are you willing to give up in order to gain more time with your children?

Be absolutely clear on your priorities, and then say no to something this week. Either one thing a day or one thing forever. Get rid of something stopping you from acting on your priorities.
