Then just simply check in with what we are doing right now to move us closer to achieving this plan. If what we are doing now is not moving us closer to achieving our life goals, then something needs to change to get us back on track. Either the goals need to be reviewed, or our actions questioned and possibly redirected to be in line with the right path. I find self-reflection and meditation or simply being at one with oneself helps to gain clarity. Alternatively, I would go see my Coach if feeling overwhelmed by the order (or disorder) of my thoughts. As long as we focus on the right things, like you say, and not all things, we are closer to living a less stressful life. Thank you, Elaine Thank you Barney, both comments came through :)

We can get so caught up in the details and just not see the wood for the trees. Time for all of us to stand back and get a better or different perspective. Regards, Elaine Thank you Tim,

I like the jar analogy, have seen it before too but can't remember where from either :). The biggest challenge that most people have is the ability to understand what is important and what is not. Personal or business. Once this is sorted, life really does become much simpler as one can focus on the right things all of the time and not just some of it! Great post Elaine, thankyou.

I like the jar symbology - its so true. I think the biggest challenge for people will be to really sort out what's important and what's not. This takes time, most people are in the trap of thinking that everything is a no.1 priority! Doesn't matter whether it's personal or business. Nice post Elaine.
