Kick Start Your Success

To Tolerate or Not Tolerate that is the Question!

Welcome to the Kick Start Your Success, your freedom tool to stop tolerating situations in your life!

INSTRUCTIONS: We tend to get dragged down and overwhelmed by things that accumulate over time - and end up cluttering our minds. Now is the time to identify what you're tolerating!

You may not want to do anything about them right now, but just writing them out here will raise your awareness and you’ll naturally start handling, fixing and resolving them. So, make a list of what you’re putting up with at work - and at home - to determine what might be cluttering your mind and slowing you down!

Examples could be: Incomplete tasks, frustrations, problems, other people’s or your own behavior, clutter, shoulds, unmet needs, crossed boundaries, overdue library books/DVDs, outdated wardrobe, unresolved issues or guilt, lack of exercise, eating habits, being indecisive, procrastinating, lack of sleep etc…Over time and as you think of more items, add them to your list.

To get started grab a journal, a notebook, or on your computer make a list from 1-40. Then begin writing all the things that you have tolerated in your life. Throughout the week keep adding more things to the list (you may have to add some numbers :).

After you've looked over it, which things are you ready to remove from your life? What things have you been tolerating for too long? Next to each item write a date to remove it from your life.

And remember to have fun doing this. You are investing in yourself by planning to succeed!
