Tolerations Audit

“What you allow is what will continue.”

This audit is designed to help you identify and eliminate tolerations in your life — the things you put up with that drain your energy, contradict your vision, and keep you at your current level instead of moving toward your goals.

Step 2: Ask Why You Tolerate

For each toleration, ask:

• Why am I allowing this?

• Is it fear of change?

• Do I believe this is “just how things are”?

• Am I unclear on what I want instead?

Step 3: Choose One to Eliminate

Circle one toleration from your list that you will address this week.

Toleration I will remove first: ___________________________
Why this matters: _____________________________________
First action step: ______________________________________
Deadline: _____________________________________________

Step 4: Track Your Progress

Deadline: Friday
Status:  ☑️

Toleration Example 2: Toxic relationship

Why It Drains Me: Wastes time, blocks exercise 
Action to Remove: Schedule Saturday clean-out
Deadline: Saturday 
Status:  ☑️

Step 5: Reflection

• How did I feel once I removed one toleration?

• What energy or focus did it free up?

• What does this signal to me about my standards?

• What toleration will I tackle next?

Final Reminder

Every toleration you remove is a declaration of who you are becoming. Eliminating tolerations is not about perfection — it’s about alignment. The more aligned your environment is with your vision, the easier it becomes to imagine, visualize, and achieve your goals.
