(upbeat music) - Hello and welcome to the Accountability Coach podcast where we will discuss topics, ideas, questions and issues related to having a totally balanced and successful life. This is Anne Bakrak. Today we're gonna talk about reducing or eliminating the things that are no longer acceptable in your life. Many of us say we're gonna make changes to eliminate the things we don't like about our life, but few of us actually commit to improving the quality of our life. We stay in the job we just don't like and in a relationship that just does not serve us and blame our circumstances on the hand we have been dealt in life. If you ever felt this way, it's time to get a dose of reality. Whether you're sick of your financial situation, your health or destructive relationships, you have the power to eliminate the no longer acceptables in your life and create the life you want and deserve. Give up the excuses because they're just playing cop out. Creating the life you want simply begins with a choice. You choose to eliminate the no longer acceptables in your life. Changing your life circumstances is really that easy. You choose your desired reality instead of your current reality and commit to doing whatever it takes in order to create it. While some people will live their entire life believing they are bound by their current circumstances, it does not have to be that way for you. There is no written law that says you have to live in fear, unhappiness or depression. Well, in fact, it's quite the opposite. We are created with unlimited potential, but can falsely be led to believe that we are not good enough and to have what we really want. Whether you were told you deserved exactly what you got or picked up bad habits that sabotaged your success, none of that really matters now. Your life can change the very instant you change your thoughts right here and right now. Eliminating those things you find yourself being most unhappy with will allow so much more peace and emotional space. You will feel like a new person when you finally eliminate the things that have been holding you back from what you really want. Here are some practical steps to help you start eliminating the no longer acceptables from your life. Use the Pareto principle. The Pareto principle states that 80% of your return should be based on 20% effort. In other words, when you correctly apply it, 20% of your efforts can produce 80% of your results. Correctly applying this rule saves you time, energy while producing optimal results. What you want to avoid, and this is what most people are trapped in, is applying 80% effort for only 20% return. This means you are essentially spinning your wheels for very little return or benefit. Apply this principle to every aspect of your life to evaluate how you're spending your time and energy. You might be surprised to learn how counterproductive your habits have actually been. If you find that you've been spending 80% effort for only 20% return, make some changes to flip those stats around in your favor. Learn to say no. You don't have to take every opportunity that comes along, especially if it doesn't serve you. Which would you rather prefer? I mean, sorry, which would you prefer? An acceptable job or a great job? How about an acceptable relationship or a dream come true relationship? Learn to say no to the acceptable opportunities that only deliver a fraction of what you really want and say yes to only the great opportunities that best puts you in a position to achieve all of your goals. Remember, you attract only to the level of what you think you deserve. You deserve the best, so start thinking that way. Make even better choices so you can experience even greater successes. For example, are you in a networking group or association now that doesn't provide you results you really want? Get out and find one that does. You can always join charitable groups in a few years when you're in a better position to give even more of yourself. Maybe you pick only one for now and defer the rest until later. Maybe you donate money now until you have more time to devote. Stay focused on your goals. Always and only think about where you want to be, even if it's not your current reality. The mind is a goal-achieving machine and will create a reality to match your vision. So envision a great one. You have unlimited potential and were created for success. You only have to decide and commit to accepting nothing less than your vision in order to create it. Have you ever heard someone say that they will eat the dessert or the fried food or something they knew that wasn't healthy for them because they were on vacation? Have you ever said this to yourself? Well, I call this the I'm on vacation mentality. We all have a choice and you choose to eat well if you make a conscious effort to do so. When you're away at a business function you can choose to eat well. You don't have to get sucked into eating poorly just because others do and they may not or don't have healthy food out for you to eat. Take food that is healthier with you and eat that. If you have ever participated in this mentality you can choose to make this a no longer acceptable behavior. This same mentality or behavior might apply to exercise. Some people use the excuse that they don't have time to exercise when they're at a business function. Again, this comes down to making a choice to exercise or not. You can choose to get up earlier, exercise through lunch after a meeting, before dinner, et cetera. There's other options. Maybe your exercise isn't as long as you would typically like it to be or what you are used to, but that's okay. Choosing to exercise a portion of what you would is better than nothing at all. The benefit of exercise is huge and affects many areas, even if you only do it for 15 minutes, 20 minutes or 30 minutes. Is this something that might be no longer acceptable behavior for you? Eliminating the no longer acceptables in your life is incredibly freeing and liberating. Once you create the life you want, you'll wonder how you used to even live the way you did. Choose to let go of those things that are holding you back from achieving true success and make a list of the no longer acceptables and start eliminating them one at a time. Once you begin, you'll find it easier to continue because you will finally feel free to create the life you truly want. You deserve so much more than you currently have, but it's up to you to do something about it. You can't make improvements and tell you eliminate the no longer acceptables from your life and you can't improve your quality of life until you demand it. Marjorie Blanchard says, "The gap between knowing and doing "is much greater than the gap between knowing "and not knowing." Let me repeat that again. The gap between knowing and doing is much greater than the gap between knowing and not knowing. Begin enjoying the experience of an even greater life quality and total life balance. Aim for what you want each and every day. Until next time, make it a great day, today and every day. (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
