BALANCE POINTS FOR
PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS
By Jeffrey D. BrownWhat Are You Putting Up With?
All of the things you tolerate -- clutter, distractions,
people who drain your energy, and other annoyances both large and small -- are costing
you.
They are keeping you from having a quality life. At the
very least, they are having a negative effect on you, draining energy and attention from
the more important things in life.
Do something about what's bugging you! Make a list of at
least ten tolerations and commit to resolving these energy-drains. Beginning today, take
action to eliminate them from your life -- permanently!
Once you've gotten a taste of just how fun
toleration-elimination is, try creating a "super-long tolerations list" for
yourself. Compile a list of a hundred things that you're tired of putting up with and set
aside some time each week to systematically eliminate them. As a coach, I've found that
making such a list often ignites a kind of "toleration-solution engine" in my
clients, leading to quicker resolution of many of their most common tolerations by helping
identify and avert them at the source.
Most people say that when they eliminate a big
toleration, they immediately feel more energy -- as if a tremendous weight has just been
lifted! To have a quality life and be healthy, we need all the energy we can get. When you
eliminate extraneous "stuff," you noticeably enhance your access to the energy
that naturally flows through your life.
And that's what it's all about, right?
All the best to you. Jeffrey.
