4 Burners of Priority
“It isn’t about having time, it’s about MAKING time”
Lots of people
This week I found myself thinking about priorities and how mine has changed over the years and I thought about how that could be applied to health and what it meant for people.
Obviously we only have so many hours in the day so we have to prioritise accordingly right? I mean the greatest gift you can give anyone or anything is your time, after all it’s the only thing you will definitely never get back.
How we do that though is so individual, so let me talk right to YOU… imagine that we have 4 burners on a hob each representing a different priority; Health, Friends, Family & Work. You can have the all burning equally, having your life in perfect balance but life often doesn’t that way. There are times that’ll you have to choose and depending on the circumstance those priorities change. Maybe it’s a friends birthday or they’re going through a hard time, turn that burner up! But the other 3 must suffer because of that. There’s a tight deadline for an important project at work, turn that burner up! But what seems to have happened though along the way is that poor little ‘health’ burner over there in the corner has been extinguished, other things have taken a front seat in your life and as much as you try you just can’t find the time to get your health back on track and get your health burner back on, there’s only so much gas damn it!
So you have a choice to make, do you maintain the status quo and allow things to remain the way they are and if you’re happy then that’s exactly what you should do! But I imagine that if you’re on my site, reading this article then there’s something you know you need to change. Get that health burner going again, give it a chance, and give it some gas! Sure it’ll mean making the other 3 less of a priority whilst you coax your health back to where you want it but is that really so bad. Look at those 4 priorities, really look at them… 3 are you helping or benefiting other people and they’re the three we let burn bright with only one of them being solely for you and that one suffers.
I say turn it up, burn it bright, focus on yourself allow yourself to make time and be your own priority.
