Honor Preferences For Integrity

Playbook For Performance

This month we are talking about restoring your integrity and specifically today, we're going to talk about boundaries, standards, and preferences.

We discussed this a little bit last month when we were talking about spring cleaning your life, and creating some of these things, but we want to go into more detail about what this will do for you and what this does for your integrity.

Boundaries are our force field that keeps the bad stuff out and good stuff in.

Standards are how you choose to behave yourself. What is important to you in how you conduct yourself? And so those same things that I just mentioned as boundaries, those could be your standards.

How do we honor preferences?

So one of the techniques that we can use to honor this is something that we're borrowing from the great writer, Julia Cameron who wrote the book, the artist's way. One of the activities that she highly recommends is something that she calls an artist date, where once a week, you make a date with yourself, not for others. This is not a time to be deferential or compromise anything else. This is truly something that feeds you and feeds you only with no other influence.

Fieldwork this week:

Think about your purpose, front, and center. How you can honor it, choose that artist's date. That's going to help you honor that practice by eliminating it from your vocabulary.

What are you about, what actions and words do you have totally in alignment. And how can you rephrase how you talk about yourself so that you are of integrity.
