If someone asked you if your family, health, or relationships are your top priorities, you’d likely say, “Of course!”. But would your calendar or eating habits tell a different story?

Today, I’m going to walk you through a simple three-step process to help you identify, affirm, and live in alignment with what matters most to you.

This idea was inspired by a speech I gave at a mastermind, where I felt called to speak not about books or business, but about life’s most important priorities. I’ll share some of my own struggles with being hyper-focused on work and the powerful lessons I learned during my battle with cancer that forced me to reevaluate everything.

My hope is that this episode inspires you to pause and reflect on your own life. I encourage you to set aside 10 minutes today to write down what matters most to you, why it matters, and one small change you can make this week to align your schedule with your values. Taking these simple steps now will help to ensure that years from now, you can look back on your life with pride, not regret.
