Really Consider Your Priorities It makes sense to say we are going to focus on positive and give up guilt, but being humans, it's not that easy to do. That's where priorities come into play. When you hear, or read, someone suggesting that you consider your priorities, what does that mean to you? For some, that means realizing that spending time with family is more important than extra time spent at work hopes of a promotion, for others it means studying and going back to school is more important than two hours in front of TV at night. These large-scope priorities are certainly important, but I suggest you even think on a more basic level than that; think on level of day-to-day tasks. Ask if it is more important today for you to take a walk outside with your two-year old or to cook meal you'd planned that will take an hour. Is it more important today to do laundry or to read childcare magazine that's been sitting on kitchen table for a month? Is it more important today that you send a birthday card to your cousin or sweep kitchen floor? What kind of mood are you in or is a family member in? Where will your energies make most difference to you or your loved ones today, at this moment? I'm not suggesting that laundry can pile up for weeks or that you should always eat fast food. I am suggesting that you cannot do all of things you want to do, so many of things you can do should be done consciously, and you should feel good that you've made a choice about how to spend your valuable time.

You cannot make more time in a day, but you can reframe way you think about what you accomplish during a limited amount of time. This will help you to feel better about yourself and your life. Celebrate your accomplishments, don't give guilt a chance to consume your energies, and make conscious choices about your priorities each day. The day is yours - feel good about ways you spend it!
