Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:3 Ways to Re-Prioritize Your Life
Huffington Post - Mike Robbins - Sep 18, 2011
Over the past few months, I've been thinking a lot about what truly matters. My mom's diagnosis, illness and death have caused me to stop, question and look more deeply at the things and people in my life that are important. Through the pain and challenge of this experience, I've also been grateful for the perspective and awareness it has opened up.
What I've noticed is that, sadly, I don't focus on what and who truly matters to me as much as I'd like. I tend to get distracted by fears, ego-obsessions, drama (in my own life and in the world), ambitions and all sorts of survival instincts and emotional reactions.
While I understand and have empathy for the fact that this is all part of being human, I also recognize that when I get distracted like this, I'm not able to fully engage in the most important activities, relationships and situations in my life. Maybe you can relate?
Why do we get so distracted in our lives? Why does it sometimes take illness, crisis, injury, tragedy or even death to wake us up and get our attention?
First of all, I think we clutter up our lives with too much "stuff." We're too busy, over-committed and information obsessed. Our to-do lists are too long and we run around trying to "keep up" or be "important." In the process we stress ourselves out to no end. Many of us, myself included, often complain (out loud, or just in our heads) that we can't do anything about this -- based on the nature of life today, technology and communication devices, and/or the responsibilities of our lives, families and jobs.
Most of us actually have more of a say over our schedules, how much we engage in electronic communication and the amount of "stuff" we clutter into our lives than we think. Much of this distracts us from what's most important.
Second of all, it actually can be scary to focus on what truly matters. Some of the most important people, activities and aspects of our lives are things that may seem "unimportant" to those around us. These things may or may not have anything to do with our careers, taking care of our families and may not even be things that other people like, understand or agree with. Even if they are, sadly, it's often easier to just watch TV, disengage and merely react to what's going on around us than it is to engage in the things we value most.
Finally, we may not know what's most important to us or at least have some internal conflict about what "should" be. Whether it's our lack of clarity or it's this phenomenon of "should-ing" (or maybe a bit of both), focusing on what truly matters to us can be trickier than it seems on the surface.
With so many conflicting beliefs, ideas and agendas (within us and around us), it's not always easy to know with certainty what matters most to us. And, even if we do, it can take a good deal courage, commitment and perspective to live our life in alignment with this on a regular basis.
While these and other "reasons" make sense, not focusing on what matters most to us has a real (and often negative) impact on our life, our work and everyone around us. We end up living our life in a way that is out of integrity with who we really are, which causes stress, dissatisfaction, and missed opportunities and experiences.
What if we did focus on what truly matters in our life all the time -- not simply because we experience a wakeup call, crisis or major life change -- but because we choose to in a pro-active way? What would your life look like if you let go of some of your biggest distractions, the often meaningless worries and stresses that take your attention, and actually put more focus on the people and things that are most important to you?
Here's an exercise you can do now (and any time in the future) to both take inventory of where you are in this process and also to get you more in alignment with what truly matters.
1. Make a list of the most important aspects of your life. You can either write this list down on a piece of paper or in your journal (ideal) or simply make a mental list. These "aspects" will vary depending on your life, interests, priorities, etc. For most people, however, they tend to be things like family, personal/spiritual growth, health, career success/fulfillment, making a difference in the world, fun, money, friends/community, travel, adventure, creativity, home and more. While you don't need to rank them necessarily, thinking of these things with some priority can be helpful.
2. Make a list of the things you spend most of your time doing and thinking about. Take inventory of your day today (as well as the past few days, weeks and months) and make a list (in writing or in your head) of where you spend your time and attention.
Tell the truth, even if you aren't proud of some of the activities or thoughts that get a lot of your focus. With this list it's important to rank them in some way so that you're clear about which activities, thoughts and relationships get your attention specifically, and how much you devote to each of them.
3. Compare the two lists and see how you can get them even more aligned. As you compare these two lists, if you're anything like me -- you may notice that they're quite different. Often what we say is most important to us isn't the same as where we devote much of our time, energy and thought.
Without judging yourself, tell the truth about where there are differences in these two lists and spend some time inquiring into why this is the case. And, as you think about this, ask yourself how you can create more alignment with these two lists. In other words, be more conscious and do whatever you can to focus more on what truly matters to you!
Take Action:
- Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
- Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
- Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
- Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
- BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating over 1 mIllion dollars to anti-gay marriage groups + serious history of employment discrimination of LGBT community.
- BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
- Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
- NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?

Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters Serenade Anti-Gay Westboro Baptist Church
By On Top Magazine Staff - September 18, 2011
Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters band mates on Friday counter protested the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church, which had targeted the band's Kansas City show at the Sprint Center.
"You have no proper thoughts of the God that created you, but we'll be there to make sure you don't forget when you haul your rebellious carcasses into the Sprint Center to watch God-hating fools do their shtick," the group said in announcing their protest. "God hates f-g enablers."
The band pulled up to the protesters in a modified truck dressed in fake facial hair, long wigs and cowboys outfits to serenade the group with a rendition of Keep It Clean, which includes the lyrics, "Driving all night, got a hankering for something. Think I'm in the mood for some hot-man muffins."
"Ladies and gentlemen, God bless America," Grohl said between sets. "Land of the free, home of the brave, it takes all kinds. I don't care if you're black or white or purple or green. Whether you're Pennsylvanian or Transylvanian, Lady Gaga or Lady Antebellum. It takes all kinds."
"Men loving women and women loving men and men loving men and women loving women -- you know we all like to watch that."
"What I would like to say: God bless America, y'all," he added.Video: http://youtu.be/6e5hRLbCaCs
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
