If you have ever wondered what a counseling session is like with me, or even just how counseling works, this episode is for you.

Listen as I walk alongside with Mark and Jenn in an ACTUAL counseling session.

The "Rock" of your Priorites

The idea that priorities are rocks and the rest of our life is sand is a metaphor for the importance of focusing on the most important things in our lives. If we try to fit everything into our lives, we will end up feeling overwhelmed and stressed. But if we focus on our priorities, we can make more progress and have a more fulfilling life.

The rocks in this metaphor represent the things that are most important to us, such as our relationships, our health, and our spiritual development. The sand represents the other things in our lives, such as our work, our hobbies, and our entertainment.

If we try to fit everything into our lives, we will end up with a jar that is full of sand. The rocks will not be able to fit in, and we will end up feeling stressed and overwhelmed. But if we focus on our priorities, we can put the rocks in first, and then we will have room for the sand.

This metaphor can help us to prioritize our time and energy. When we are faced with a decision about how to spend our time, we can ask ourselves, "Is this a rock or is this sand?" If it is a rock, then it is something that we should make time for. If it is sand, then it is something that we can let go of.

Prioritizing our time and energy can help us to live more fulfilling lives. When we focus on our priorities, we are able to make more progress towards our goals and we are able to experience more joy. We also have more energy to give to the people and things that matter most to us.

Here are some tips for prioritizing your life:

• Identify your priorities. What are the most important things to you? What do you want to achieve in your life?
• Make a list of your priorities. This will help you to visualize what you want to achieve and to make sure that you are staying on track.
• Prioritize your time. Decide how much time you want to spend on each of your priorities.
• Set goals for yourself. This will help you to stay motivated and to track your progress.
• Take action. Don't just make a list of your priorities and then forget about it. Take action and start working towards your goals.
• Be flexible. Things will change, so be prepared to adjust your priorities as needed.
• Don't be afraid to say no. It's okay to say no to things that are not a priority for you.

Prioritizing your life is not always easy, but it is worth it. When you focus on your priorities, you are able to live a more fulfilling life.
