Living intentionally requires clarity. When you are clear about what makes you happy, healthy, loving and wonderful, you can be happy, healthy, loving and wonderful.<\/p>\n

Imagine a life with less confusion and doubt. Clarity makes everything easier, but getting there requires change and commitment especially if you are busy, distracted and overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

If you want to make better decisions, become more trusting, be healthier, and do more meaningful work, try these 10 strategies for absolute clarity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Create space.<\/strong>
\nYour mind has to process everything that crosses your field of vision. If your home or work environment is cluttered and messy, the mess and clutter results in brain fog. You can’t work effectively or live thoughtfully in chaos. Clear the clutter and reset to zero<\/a>\u00a0at least once a week.<\/p>\n

2. Identify what matters.<\/strong>
\nWrite down your passion statements<\/a> for work and life. What really matters to you? Passion statements aren\u2019t maybes, they are musts.<\/p>\n

3. Do one thing at a time.<\/strong>
\nWhen you are writing, write. When you are doing the dishes, do the dishes. You don’t need TV, Twitter, Email, and 11 other things going on at the same time. Immerse yourself in the task at hand.<\/p>\n

4. Eliminate distractions.<\/strong>
\nYou may be so used to the beeps and dings from your phone and flashing messages on your computer screen that you don’t know how distracting they are. It can take 15 minutes or more to recover from even a small distraction. Turn off notifications and if you can’t resist the pull of your devices, turn them off when you are doing other work. When you realize that most of your distractions are self-imposed, it’s easier to eliminate them.<\/p>\n

5. Eat well.<\/strong>
\nYour brain doesn\u2019t have to rely on caffeine and sugar to function. Prove it by removing the stimulating substances you think you need for one week. Then start adding more natural fuel like greens and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n

6. Get quiet.<\/strong>
\nSet aside a few minutes to get quiet and\/or meditate every day. Even just 5 minutes<\/a>\u00a0is enough to remove mental chatter and internal distractions.<\/p>\n

7. Write to get clear.<\/strong>
\nWrite for a few minutes every morning. If you are experiencing great clarity, write it down. If you can\u2019t get clear, write that down too. Sometimes you can write out the distraction and get down to clarity.<\/p>\n

8. Experiment.<\/strong>
\nYou don\u2019t know what you don\u2019t know. If you want clarity about the foods that best fuel you, the habits that improve your life, or the work you want to do, experiment. Learn through experience and experiments.<\/p>\n
