Meditation

Bodhidharma comes to mind...

""The most essential method which includes all other methods is to behold the Mind..The Mind is the root from which all things grow..If you can understand the Mind...Everything else is included""

Except for N1, in no particular order....
1. Exercise. It's my best medicine.
2. Accepting/allowing all symptoms of anxiety and refocusing on thinking/doing something productive.
3. Working on my newly established small business daily.
4. Morning routine and helpful/positive routines in general.
5. Multimedia (including books) that enoble the soul.
6. People that are more advanced in a discipline I value, including being more spiritualy mature.
7. Honest, supporting, courageous talks with friends.
8. Trying to be actualy-factualy helpful and kind as much as possible.
9. Being in nature.
10. Retreating from unhelpful behaviors/habits and adopting helpful ones.
11. Small amazing 'noticings'. Eg. making a stranger in the shop genuinely laugh, having a poignant conversation with a homeless person, noticing something visually especially beautiful while outside...

There are many important things - I don't even know what a lot of them are. As for personal priorities, they have narrowed considerably of late.

Staying mindful and acting accordingly so far as that is possible - this is most important and actually includes many of my past and future priorities.

I am very attentive to others important stuff
because it defines us.
In a sense we are what we do, what we prioritise.
