If you are really serious about being successful – no matter what your chosen endeavor – you must start taking action to get rid of the things you have been tolerating.

Or maybe, just maybe, it's your own bad habits, or your commute, or noise pollution....
Everything you are tolerating zaps your energy - wearing you down and making you edgy. When you take action to get rid of and correct these things, you will sense freedom, increased energy and creativity. You want that, I know it!
Here are two exercises that, if you will discipline yourself to follow-through (and not just read it!) will help you start zapping your tolerations, instead of having them zap you!
FIRST: Take out some paper and make a space for each of the following categories
(with about 9 – 10 lines under each one to list tolerations):
Home/apartment
Relationships
Car
Health
Finances
My own habits
Office/work
Community
Wardrobe
NOW, brainstorm your list under each category.
SECOND: Pick the top 3 energy drains (tolerations) from your list - the ones that REALLY bug you - and that you are ready to take action on NOW:
1.
2.
3.
Go take care of these - TODAY!
Another tactic is to set aside an entire day to burn through as many of the items on your list as possible. You’ll be amazed at how satisfying this is, and you’ll find out that you will be freeing up your valuable physical, emotional, and mental energy!
Don’t stop here!
Make this an ongoing process. From time to time, pull out the list, cross off the things you’ve gotten rid of, add the new things, and continually take action.
