What Do You Value Most?
We've all been there—feeling unlike ourselves, when something that we can't quite pinpoint just doesn't feel right. Usually, that's an indication that part of our life is out of line with what is most important to us in our heart of hearts.
That's one of the many reasons it's essential to clarify your core values for yourself. If you know exactly what's most important to you, you'll be better able to spot when something or someone isn't in alignment with who you are and who you want to become.
Why get clear about what you value?
Discovering your core values can help you make decisions big and small—how to spend your time, money, days. Who to invite into your life. Which path to take in your career. Where to live. How you care for yourself and others.
The little stuff might come intuitively. But when big decisions loom, having a clear understanding of your values can help provide a roadmap, nudging you toward paths that will keep you most true to yourself.
