10 obstacles between you and a good life.
1. Unfinished business.
Get rid of the past by identifying and organizing unfinished deals. Track what you started - the project, the diet, the conflict, the commitment - by doing it, giving it to someone else, or simply giving up.
2. Ignore the present.
Today is the result of the "today" that preceded it. A gift well-lived naturally leads to a wonderful future. Save a dollar today and have more money tomorrow. Eat 500 fewer calories today and you will lose weight tomorrow. Only what you do today will affect your future.
3. Missing priorities.
Never do what you want when you want it most. If you only react to what comes closest to your attention, you will never have enough time for what is really important. Don't prioritize your time. Divide your priorities according to your time.
4. Self-deception.
Lying to yourself is the most harmful form of self-respect. Think about times when you have been dishonest with yourself and how to fix them. "I will never again pretend that what I put in my mouth doesn't matter anymore." "I will no longer pretend that budget overruns are okay."
5. Please people.
If you always say yes even when you want to say no, you will feel miserable losing control of your time and energy to anyone who asks you a question. Free yourself by learning to defend your limits.
6. Power leaks.
Daily crises and problems shouldn't exhaust your energy. Let your life unfold on your schedule. Make an informed decision: simplify your tasks, organize your surroundings and your life to support the lifestyle you want to lead.
7. Complaints instead of questions.
You get everything you ask for. Complaints are a passive attitude, not an active one. Make a choice to consciously let people know what you want by asking but not complaining.
8. Insufficient reserves.
Without reservation to assist you, you will make decisions based on a lack of ... money, time, and energy. And it will lead you to make mistakes and miss opportunities. Systematically exclude things from your life until you have adequate time and money, and then move away from that position.
9. Concealment of Defects.
Let your mistakes help you be more honest. Let people know, "I can't wait to let me know if I am missing something that I don't understand." “I'm not very good at keeping secrets. Please don't tell me what to say to others. ""
10. Desire instead of planning.
BEGIN! Do something! If you "wish" something to happen by itself, you are unlikely to wait. Make a plan and put it into action.
