I can't thank Joshua enough for hanging out with me. Getting a little vulnerable, and just being a awesome dude. Hope you enjoy this different style content.Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MWZ4dGp2MzlucjVvdw==Thewhiskeyshaman.comPatreon.com/the_whiskeyshamanReprioritizing your life begins with a period of reflection to understand what truly matters to you, followed by strategic changes to align your daily actions with your core values and goals. Phase 1: Reflect and reconnectReassess your core valuesYour values act as a compass for your life, but they can change over time. Ask yourself what you stand for and what is most important to you, like family, personal growth, health, or creativity.Review your values regularly to ensure they still align with who you are now, not just who you were in the past. Find your "why"Dig deeper than surface-level desires like "travel more" to find the motivation behind your goals.What do you want to achieve? If you won the lottery, what would your dream life look like? Think beyond money and status to what you truly desire.What makes you happy? Look back at moments of genuine joy and fulfillment. What were you doing, and what qualities were present?.What makes you unhappy? Identify situations or relationships that drain your energy. Acknowledging what doesn't work for you is just as important as knowing what does. Examine how you spend your timePerform a "time audit" to see where your time is actually going versus where you wish it would go. Keep a log of how you spend your time in 15-minute intervals for a week or two.Compare your time log with your core values. Where do you find a mismatch? For example, if you value family time but spend 10 hours a day working, you'll need to rebalance. Phase 2: Take intentional actionSet clear, manageable goalsWith a clear sense of your priorities, you can set new goals that are specific and actionable. Break it down: Break large, long-term goals into smaller, more manageable steps.Use the Rule of 3s: Limit yourself to three high-priority items a day to avoid overcommitting and feeling overwhelmed.Tackle the "frog" first: Do your most important or difficult task at the beginning of the day to build momentum. Learn to say "no"Saying no to others is crucial for reclaiming time and energy for yourself. This might mean declining a social invitation or delegating a task at work. Create a "to-don't" list: This is a list of things you will intentionally say no to in order to protect your priorities.Contemplate before committing: Before you say yes, ask yourself if you have the time and energy, and what you would have to give up to do it. Protect your health and well-beingSelf-care is not a reward, but an essential part of having the energy to pursue your priorities. Schedule time for yourself: Block off time on your calendar for rest, relaxation, and hobbies.Prioritize sleep: Establish a consistent bedtime and stick to it to ensure you get enough rest.Create routines: Build habits that support your new priorities, like setting aside 15 minutes to read before bed or taking a daily walk. Reduce distractionsEliminate things that take time away from your real priorities. Silence notifications: Turn off non-essential alerts on your phone and computer to minimize interruptions.Designate specific times for tasks: Instead of constantly checking email, for example, schedule two or three specific times during the day to respond to messages. Stay flexible and celebrate small wins
