Re-learning the brain

Have begun reading this book which I bought last year.. Cross Train your Brain
Kind of a traditional + western knowledge about how to improve ones ability to resolve thoughts and reach goals by re-training the brain to come out of standard modes of thought and approach different scenarios in the unconventional ways.

Going by some key aspects in it, what comes out for me is that surely I am not currently performing in my comfort zone, that I have some other things that are my priorities but none of my current work aligns with the priorities that I 'think' I have. This is an area I need to work on - define my priorities... is it a tangible thing like money, apartment, car, vehicle?
is it an intangible thing like fame, more intangible health and care for parents and family?

how do I define my priorities?

maybe this could be an answer to what I need to do for my life.. I have always been wanting to take a break and complete pending things.. but since the Tata Unisys time, since like 2002 when I got back from the US, I never was able to really take time out for important things that really mattered - which I think are my priorities... which I need to redefine now!

maybe that is the reason I am still here, and maybe I will be able to get to a better place once I redefine and re-work my life around my priorities..

I just don't sit as I used to way back then, to write things down at peace. I have some or the other worry at the back of my mind... and that keeps me from getting the satisfaction I seek or I used to get way back when I used to get out there and do photography, or meet friends.

Maybe somewhere, the fear and decrease in self-confidence has hit me hard... and I am not able to coherently put my thoughts together.

But it is this time that I need to use, the time when bujju is away, I have limited distractions and I have time on my hand... once this time goes, I will be in a lurch again... thinking that I wasted this time too...
