PRIORITIES AND WHERE ARE YOU ?

PRIORITIES AND WHERE ARE

YOU?

All of us have 1,440 minutes in a day. By

multi-tasking, you jam pack those 1,440

minutes. 1,440 minutes is a lot of time – how

do you spend those minutes? From all of that

time, how many of those minutes do you spend

on yourself? We do so much for so many

people in our lives that we forget or are too

busy to spend any time for ourselves. If you

want to know what you value in each day, take

a hard look at how you spend your 1,440

minutes.

We schedule appointments, meetings and other

commitments for ourselves and our time every

day. We have endless To Do lists. Look at

your schedule and your To Do lists, where are

you? When we have a scheduled meeting or a

doctor appointment, it is a priority. We make

sure to carve out time in our schedule. On our

(endless?) To Do lists, we pay attention to

those items and check them off when

completed. Check out your schedule and To

Do list, where are you?

Conduct a time study of how you spend your

time. Record what you do every 15-30 minutes

every day for a period of a week. Do you think

that you don’t have time to exercise or prepare

healthy meals, yet you spend four hours every

nigh****ching mindless television?

Here are some helpful tips to put YOU on YOUR

list:

6 How does your day empower your health?

7 Are you too busy to regularly exercise or

create activity in your life?

7 Do you give your time and energies to so

many other people in your life that you don’t a

reserve of time for yourself?

7 Is it faster to eat from a drive-thru or

prepare a healthy meal?

As you review your schedule and To Do List,

where is your commitment to your healthy

lifestyle? How do you honor your commitment

to a healthy lifestyle on a regular basis?
