Priorities give us the orientation we need to form our habits. It comes as no surprise, then, that no matter how consistent we are with our routines, we feel as if it's amounting to nothing or that we're just not as into it anymore as before.
As we go through our journey, it's normal for us to change. What might have been something we felt strongly about a month ago may not feel the same today. In that same way, whatever our priorities may have been from years or months ago may not hold true to what we want to achieve anymore. Because of that, it's vital to know whether we need to realign our priorities so we know just where to dedicate our time and effort in a way that contributes the most to our journey.
Of course, facing the truth that we have to adjust our priorities isn't always an easy feat, but the benefits always overrule the fear of change. Here are a few reasons why you should, along with saveable reminders you could keep for easy viewing.
Highlights your growth
When we realize that our priorities have changed over time, it's a sign that we've been taking in life and adapting as we go through it. It's a great measure of our ability to let go of what no longer serves us at each point in our life and re-orienting just as needed to make sure we're pouring in the right effort, resources, and time where it should be.

Points you to what matters
Priorities are part of the bigger picture in reaching our goals. As Women in Progress, it's easy for us to pile one objective over the other and hope to achieve all of them. However, this could get us easily overwhelmed and, in turn, end up with us connotating our goals with negativity and discouragement. Prioritizing comes in handy with this as it helps you narrow down our goals into:
What matters today.
The goals we're capable of achieving at the moment.
Which goals would motivate you the most to move to the next.
Finding the answers to each of these helps us realize what we value the most and gives us a good look at who we are— something that could be useful as we continue to discover and shape the version of ourselves we want to see.
Improves your life quality
Realigning your priorities is a great way to give us a sense of direction in life. When we leave our priorities in disarray, the tendency to feel disoriented and overwhelmed by our goals tends to be very high. Priorities give us the orientation we need to have a little order in what could already be a journey full of ups and downs.
Inner to Outer Change
Ensuring you work on progress from the inside out takes a lot of work, but whatever is done internally always manifests on what’s seen on the surface. Try to see if you need to realign your priorities, and start seeing the impact of it in your journey towards the best version of yourself. We’ll be with you as you do!
