NO TOLERATIONS

Tolerations are situations or conditions that are irritating in our lives and work that could be eliminated, but we’re putting up with them. Tolerations have a negative impact on you and consume your time, energy and resources. Tolerations are distracting, frustrating, and cause us worry. If we work to identify all of our Tolerations in our lives and then work to eliminate them, we are able to reduce our anxiety, gain more energy, feel more calm, and un-clutter our perception.

Areas to examine for Tolerations include: Work, People, Yourself, Your House, Your Personal Items, Health, and Money.

I first encountered this concept through my training at Coach U and it have been very useful to me in my life and work. This concept has helped me be more productive in my life and work. I suggest you make a list of all the Tolerations in your life on a yearly basis and create a campaign to get rid of them. Don’t be afraid to enlist help from your family, friends, colleagues, and boss. Often multiple Tolerations come from one source and so you may be able to batch them by cause or by area and eliminate multiple Tolerations by taking one or a few actions.
