The Magic of Priorities

By Grace Sardonicus

    Monday, March 9th, 2009

Imagine a world where our children are happy, healthy, vibrant and compassionate.

Imagine a world with clear thinking, balanced, human beings living with gratitude and creativity.

Imagine a world where we respect, honor and listen to each other and ourselves. Health begins from the inside out. How can any of us serve others if we are not serving ourselves? Grace’s inspiration to create EmBodyDreamTM grew from the seed of her pure pleasure of dance as a child. Being in her body and feeling so much joy, creativity and freedom as a dancer was her platform. From the time I was conceived and throughout my childhood, the sounds of Chopin, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff wafted through the halls of my home, beautiful music that my Mother practiced 8 hours/day, preparing for concerts. The music opened a doorway into the visceral expression of my soul’s joy.  I felt so inspired to dance. So I did. Whenever Mom practiced the piano I entered the living room which became an altered dimension of stunning creation and harmony. My heart’s desire was being expressed as I emulated the ballerinas that I deeply admired watching on the stages of the New York City Ballet. Grace, poise, peace and exuberance coursed through my blood, skin, muscles and bones. I felt alive and whole. My body said ‘yes’. I had a powerful, direct experience of what feeling healthy and happy in my body was like. Zooming to present day, I have created a recipe of how to maintain and evolve vibrant health. I discovered that health begins with how I think and what I believe. How could I be healthy if I don’t know what is truly good for me? I dedicated my life work to experimenting and learning tools to maintain extraordinary health for my mind, body & spirit. A key in my recipe is reclaiming what is most important by understanding priorities. What are your priorities? Your health and wellbeing? Your career? Your family? What comes first, second, etc?  Do your priorities make sense? Why have you chosen one thing over another? Are you modeling what you were taught or did you choose on your own? We often don’t realize that we are re-creating patterns based on what our parents did. For example: Why do we believe we should take care of another before ourselves? From one point of view, we are judged as selfless and caring. From this same point of view, we would be selfish if we took care of ourselves first. From another point of view if we don’t take care of ourselves first, we would be irresponsible, neglectful and un-loving of ourselves. Who is to say what is right or wrong? You. What feels right to you? What makes the most sense? From my point of view, if I am not happy and healthy, I cannot possibly serve other’s whole-heartedly. Why would I want to just give part-way? In my personal review of priorities, I offer this idea:

  1. Evolving consciousness in mind, body & Spirit (which includes spiritual practice/education, health & celebrating the joy of life)
  2. Relationships: Family/Intimate & Home
  3. Dharma: Expression of my soul’s mission in service to others
  4. Finances: Includes conscious attitude & handling of money, i.e. Income/expenses, budget, investing, debt, etc.
  5. Satsanga: Community of like-minded individuals
  6. Travel, Fun

A quick time management lesson: The first step in understanding time management is about priorities. Once you put your self-care as a # 1 priority, you will magically find the time to accomplish whatever makes your heart sing.
