Hi all and welcome back to the Mindset Coach Academy podcast.
My name is Lindsey Wilson and it's Mental Monday. This is where we talk about one tip, tool or technique that you can implement in your life today. What I want to talk about today is I want you to imagine there's something and maybe you probably have this in your mind right now, something that is taking up space in your life and in your mind right now. The way that I want you to think about it is I want you to imagine that you have a suitcase in front of you. Let's say you're packing for a trip and you only have space for a certain amount of things. Now if this is the case, you are going to learn to only take what is most important.
You are going to learn to take some things out. Otherwise, you're going to have that awkward conversation about how big your carry on is before you get on the plane and you're going to try to be stuffing it into the overhead bin. Okay, been there. All right, so what we want to do is we want to prioritize what is most important, what you want to take with you. And this metaphor can be really important for the things that are taking up mental or emotional space in your life. So again, I want you to imagine there is something in your life and you probably actually don't have to imagine you just have to think about something in your life right now that is taking up space.
And I want you to ask yourself a simple question. Is this important? Is this something that I want to take with me?
And if it is not, take it out. It really is that simple. And the problem often is that we don't ask ourselves this question. We just let other people and other things pack our damn suitcase and that's overflowing and it's frustrated and we act like there's nothing we can do. There is something we can do. We can take it out. But the only way that we're going to do that is by asking ourselves what is truly important. And this is something you can do right now.
This is something you can do every day. And the hardest thing is actually asking yourself this question. This is why in our task list with our process, our daily beast, we have a prioritization method that helps you really go through your list and be like, is this really how I want to spend my time? And in this case, we're not talking about time, although we kind of are. We're mostly talking about mental and emotional energy and really being able to prioritize that, which is the most important. So again, something big taking up space in your life and in your mind is this important.
And if not, take it out of the damn suitcase. All right, guys, that's all I got for Mental Monday. We'll see you again next week.
Bye for now.
