1. Your Life Mission
Your life missions are priorities that give you meaning and happiness. These are what make you live beyond being successful, but also work on something significant in life. What do you want from life? When you prioritize those things without compromising your commitment to them, you will always end up achieving your goals.
Define your mission statement and identify things you need to do to accomplish your purpose in life.
Once you have established what your life missions are, organize your tasks, and make every item on your to-do list express those missions. If an item does not align with your purpose in life, refuse to work on it. If you want to lose weight, go ahead. If your life mission requires oratory skills, commit yourself to practicing that. The bottom line is that your to-do list should be an expression of your personal and professional goals.
2. Physical Health
Your health is highly crucial and should be first on your list of priorities. It determines your prosperity, comfort, and overall attitude.[1]
Bad health robs you of happiness and reduces your overall productivity. This is why you need to break the cycle of poor health.
Here’s why your physical well-being should be on your list of priorities:
You can only be more productive and focused when you are healthy.
Your quality of sleep will improve.
You will be in a better mood when interacting with other people.
You will be more energetic to accomplish your life mission.
You will have good self-esteem. Sickness robs you of confidence.
Do these to improve your health:
Eat a balanced diet, develop a solid exercise routine, and don’t skip sleep.
3. Quality Time With Family
When you are having a bad time at work, the first pillar of support is always your family. Time spent with family enhances your self-esteem, promotes positive habits, and builds memories.
Prioritize spending time with your immediate family, and make that time count. Exercise or work out together, go for a walk after
4. Healthy Relationships
Relationships are important in finding meaning and ealth
Are you always busy with work, social commitments, studies, family, and daily activities? If yes, then you need to prioritize your mental health. Establish a routine to investigate how you feel when you are busy or overworking.
6. Finances Money
is not insignificant. While it may not buy happiness, you need to earn at least above what you need to stay happy. Life can be miserable when you’re struggling to pay the bills or feed yourself, so prioritize your finances!
7. Self-Improvement
In the words of Lou Holtz, “You are either growing or dying”[5]. You can only become the person of your dreams by shunning mediocrity and complacency.
