Good morning! During our days we can become so occupied with our lists, tasks, and stressors that we forget to look at the "bigger picture." Are the things we are doing, taking us in the direction we want and need to go?

Take a glance at your list of tasks to complete for today. Then bring to mind your three priorities at this stage of your life. If you don't have them written down already, go ahead and write down these priorities. Now carefully consider each item on your to-do list. How many of them align with the priorities of your life? It is true that if you check off those to-do items, you are moving forward, but are you moving forward in a direction that is fulfilling?

Your Turn:
After identifying your priorities and checking your to-do list, what did you find? If you found that very few of your to-do items aligned with your priorities, find 30 minutes of reflection time this week to create a more balanced plan. Try to do at least one thing per day that coincides with your top priorities.

Your Affirmation:
Each day, I do what matters.
