life we are building. So what can you do? Take action! These ten steps will put you on

Top Ten Ways to Get a Life You Can Live With
1. Say NO!
Don’t let 'YES' come flying out of your mouth at
first sign of a request. Notice how often you do things you’d rather not, and start making decisions based on what you want to do. Remember that you always have a choice.
2. Eliminate The 'Energy Drainers' From Your Life
Make a list of all
things you put up with about situations, other people or yourself. Ask yourself what purpose does this energy drainer serve in my life and what are
benefits of eliminating it? Commit to take
action necessary to eliminate
drainers.
3. Set Priorities That Reflect Your True Values
Does what you value match how you allocate your time? There is more to do in
day then time to do it- decide what’s most important, focus on what you value, and say no to everything else.
4. Put Yourself First
Putting your self first is not selfish; it’s actually
best thing you can do for
people around you. Once your needs are met and you are healthy and well taken care of, you will have more to offer everyone else.
5. Establish Boundaries and Set High Standards
Boundaries protect your time, space and energy and are
guidelines to how others may treat you. Standards are
principles by which you choose to live your life and clear, high standards allow you to easily make decisions that align with your values.
