The priorities of life

Saludos hivers lectores. Días atrás @UBIKALO, Ceo de la Comunidad UBIKALO
por Telegram, relató una anécdota de un amigo que le contaba las vicisitudes que había pasado, que le ocasionaron situaciones bastante desagradables por el orden de prioridades que había asumido en el transcurrir de su vida.

Greetings hivers readers. A few days ago @UBIKALO, Ceo of the UBIKALO Community via Telegram, told an anecdote of a friend who told him about the vicissitudes he had gone through, which caused him quite unpleasant situations due to the order of priorities he had assumed in the course of his life.

These priorities were summed up by @UBIKALO as: God, health, family, friendships and work. According to the order you give to these four "parameters" will be the consequences generated in the course of life. These consequences can be positive or negative.

Reflecting on these "parameters", I would add the quality and the time space dedicated to each one.

For example, starting from a day, which has 24 hours, 8 hours to sleep, we have only 4 hours left, which would be divided between personal hygiene, food, sharing with family and significant others, and various errands (studies, sports, shopping, among others). In percentage terms, 50% of our daily life is devoted only to work, 30% to replenish the energy spent during the working day, leaving only 20% for the other three "parameters". In this case, the work time occupies the "useful" time of our daily life. No matter how hard we try to maximize the quality dedicated to family, health, God, friendships, we will lack time.

Another element to consider in the priorities is related to the meanings, imaginaries and beliefs we have about each of the "parameters".

Let's take one and ask some questions.

Family: What is the family for us? Do we consider that our physical presence in the family is not very important? How is our communication with our family? What do we think of each member of the family? How are the affections within the family? Do we think that the family can help us or not when we have difficulties? Do we help when someone in the family has difficulties?

We can ask ourselves similar questions with the other "parameters" and we will have an idea of the reasons that lead us to prioritize some over others.

We can also ask ourselves how we feel. Generally speaking, are we happy and do we consider our life to be satisfying or pleasurable?

Scaling up in the questions: when we talk or think about things in life, do we do it from the assertive, the propositive, the optimistic, the positive, or, on the contrary, do we tend to see problems, to criticize or judge, to see the negative, or are we pessimistic? Do we place ourselves from the being or from the having?

To the extent that we realize what things we prioritize in our life we can answer if we consider that we have a full and satisfying life.

We can do a qualitative exercise to approach this "realization" of our priorities.

Mark with an X where you consider your priorities are. You can use colors for each box according to each attribute.
