In a normal life, however, expecting to score perfect 10s for everything, all
the time, is unrealistic. Life just isn’t like that. When you’re working hard,
another aspect of your life may slip down the agenda. If you’ve been spend-
ing lots of time doing up your home, for example, you’re unlikely to have
had time to socialise with friends. Or if you’ve been studying for exams, your
exercise routine may well have flown out the window.
By noticing those areas of your life where you’re not happy with the scores,
you have an opportunity to set yourself a well-formed outcome to address
that area. Do you, for example, want to pay off your credit cards and get your
finances in good shape, or join an online dating agency to get more romance
back into your life? As you focus on what you want, you take charge of your
life rather than simply reacting to what comes at you.
