Looking through my blog there are a number of articles that give, ‘how to’ lists

just how do you decide which of these is the most beneficial for you?

After reading my blog  why not glance through these previous blogs?

Take back your power.

The art of resting fully

How to write your way out of self doubt.

How to help others without compromising yourself?

9 psychological symptoms of stress.

How do you decide what is the most important aspect of your concern right now?

Easy you create a hierarchy of needs.

If you are contemplating a relationship: business, personal, social, attitude or whatever.

If you are deciding what elements make a perfect holiday for you.

If you are considering a new job or to stay where you are.

If you concerned if you are a good enough parent or what is a parent supposed to be?

Then its useful, to find out what is important to you; and you may be surprised to find that what you think is the most important point is in fact a few down the list.

So how do you do this?

How do you create a hierarchy of needs?

Taking the areas from the blog Goal creation: 5 helpful rules below:

Areas being checked		Count the number of  Xs to see which is most important etc.  So finding the area you might want to work on first.
A	Career
B	Relationships
C	Fun/leisure
D	Finances
E	Service
F	Personal growth

You make a decision which is the most important and put a X on that line.

Which is the most important to you. A or B?  A or C?  A or D? A or E? A or F?

Which is the most important to you.                B or C?  B or D? B or E? B or F?

Which is the most important to you.                              C or D?  C or E? C or F?

Which is the most important to you.                                            D or E? D or F?

Which is the most important to you.                                                          E or F?

This does not mean that you work on one area exclusively as life won’t wait for you to catch up with the other areas. It simply means that you concentrate on that particular area which, interestingly, shaves a little off the other areas in life.

Looking at the list above Service may mean very different things to different people; you may not even know what it is supposed to be referring to. You can omit this area, you can substitute another area of life or you can trust that your subconscious mind knows what Service means in your life.

You might want to explore your own list for Service with complete confidence that it is just right for you in exactly the same way you can write out your own list for any of the areas listed above.

However first you might like to try it with something easy like your holiday needs and preferences 

and separately those you think your companion has. I will go into this more extensively in the future.

If you are examining anything, say, a relationship or career change etc then the longer your list,

the deeper into your subconscious you delve and the more fruitful this exercise will be.

Enjoy exploring beyond the bounds of ‘where no man has gone before’.
