Things you are worried about but can&rsquo;t do anything about (usually things we want other people to do or be).\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Take 5 minutes or so to scratch out the things that you aren&rsquo;t passionate about, don&rsquo;t fit with your vision, values or mission&hellip;. Things you feel obligated or like you should do, but have no real interest or desire to do.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<em>When you get finished doing this, you should have a good list of things that are in alignment with your goals and that you are interested in.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<strong>Now, reflect on what you are trying to accomplish right now in your life.<\/strong>&nbsp; Then map out\/create a plan focusing on that area of your life.&nbsp; You might want to highlight the things on the list that you want to integrate now and leave the others for later.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\tThis will help you simplify your life, focus and create the results you want in the areas most important to you right now.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\t<em>I&#039;m challenging you to do this right now and then come share with me how it went in the comments area below!<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>I&#039;ll see you there!<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Allison<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the weekend, I spent a lot of time on my vision and priorities and was looking back through some notes and courses I&rsquo;ve taken.
