Creating ORDER In A Woman's Life
1. RECOGNIZE exactly where your life is right now. Self-assess, what level of ‘order’ do you now have? On a scale of 1 – 5 (1 being no order and 5 being perfect order) rate yourself now:______________________.
2. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. Now that you have admitted where you are, take responsibility for it and prepare yourself for forward movement. or the condition that your life is in right now. Remember that where you are today is a result of the choices that you made (or didn't make that were made for you by chance).
3. REPENT! Turn around, go in the opposite direction! Repentance is simply practicing what you say you believe. Deep down, you don't believe in a life that is chaotic and out of control! Make a 180 degree turn around, change from what and how you are right now to what and who you want to be—a WOMAN OF ORDER.
So let’s take action . . .
4. Discover what is IMPORTANT to you! Some prioritise personal achievements and preparing for the future through savings and life-insurance plans, while others prefer relationships with family and friends. How do you know which things are really important to you? Simple. Important things are marked by significant worth to you. Important things are valuable to you. Important things are urgent things; things that require your attention and input. You must discover what things are most important to you in order to begin to put your life in order! Take a moment, listen to your heart, and list below your top FIVE priorities—those things that are most important to you (ex. Kids, job, spouse, church, etc)

5. CHOOSE once and for all to keep those important priorities at the forefront of your mind and in
every decision you make—down to scheduling them into your daily calendar/planner. Become a manager/steward over those important things - the rest will take care of itself. If at the end of the week, you’ve not attended to those things that you’ve said are most important, your life will feel out of order. Key to success with order is ‘feeling’ in order. When you invest in that which is most important to you, you will feel good and in order.
6. BEGIN LEARNING NEW SKILLS to replace old ones (i.e. time management, organization, how to say NO, etc.) What one skill set do you need in order to successfully keep your life in order?
