We’re all going through life experiencing and
listening and learning… out of all of the things… how much do we
really translate that into what means the most to us and what we
stand for.
I found that when you are crystal clear on what you
stand for and what you care about… decisions become really easy.
Because you’re clear on what’s important to you and what’s worth
fighting for and the headspace that you live in.
When you’re faced with challenges or conflict… you
don’t have this big figure it out moment… or worse… react and the
total opposite way that you wish you would have.
Because you know what you stand for and you’re
reminded of it on the daily.
It requires putting your earplugs in and ignoring the
noise and distractions around you.
It took me a year to organize what I really stand for
and what I’ve learned in my life thus far… and how to have them be
a part of our daily lives and how we operate.
Some key points:
-We read and listen to interesting things ALL THE
TIME- but how do we translate them into real life?
-Get a section going in your journal… when you learn
a hard lesson… write that shit down!
-Makes mistakes or waste of time decisions easier to
stomach- it’s a lesson learned!
-Helps you deal with conflict or hardship in the
day.
-Helps you know what’s worth letting go and what’s
worth fighting for.
-Helps you strengthen your family bond and
priorities
-Helps you stay in a positive headspace
-Give yourself the reminders you need! The ones you
get off track with most!
