How to make your health and your practice a priority

By guest blogger Emily Carton

One of the biggest things I’ve come to understand when people tell me they want to be healthier, happier and start getting into good practices but don’t know how. . .

Is that it’s all about getting real on your values and priorities.

Like when people say. . .

“I’d love to meditate but I just don’t have time” but, they have time to scroll through Instagram everyday for an hour.

“I wish I had the money to buy organic groceries” but, they have the money to buy a new dress every other week.

“I just can’t afford to go to a yoga class” but, they have the cash to blow $100 on a night out every Saturday.

What we need to do here, is be honest with ourselves and say what it really means which is. . .

“That is not a priority for me”

Because that is the truth.

We put money, time and effort into things we truely value and care about.

And if it’s not a priority for you, that’s cool – you do you.

But we’ve got to stop hiding behind our excuses and get real with ourselves when we want to make positive changes

Of course, many of us have genuine personal and financial limitations but. . . Is there somewhere in your life you know you probably need to get a bit more real?

For me – My health is honestly my #1 value. When I understood that, I began to more clearly prioritise my time and money towards that. And let go of things I didn’t value in exchange.

Once we get clear on our values, our priorities shift.
