Prioritization

Hi, and welcome to day one of the prioritization pack. So sometimes it can be hard to know where to begin with so many different things that are competing for our attention. Very often we get easily distracted and sometimes we tend to fall into this pattern of being more reactive towards certain things. But if you look at people who have good prioritization skills, usually there's a sense of calm, there's a sense of clarity and there's a sense of composure as well. But most of that comes from the ability to be present. To not be caught up in distractions. So that's what we're gonna be focused on in this pack. Whilst at the same time, learning how to plan, reflect, and track our progress. We're also gonna look at how we can minimize the number of choices we have.

Just noticing any areas that feel particularly comfortable and any areas that might feel a little tense or tight in some way. Just scanning down towards the toes. So, as you become more aware of those sensations in the body you might have already noticed that rising and falling sensation of the breath. So some people feel it in the stomach, some people the chest. It doesn't really matter where it is. If you can't feel anything, just gently place your hand on your stomach to feel that movement. But just beginning to notice where in the body you feel that rising and falling sensation. No need to breathe in any special way. So just staying with that movement of the breath.
