Your values are the
behavior and activities to which you are naturally drawn.
Values
are things you do or that you find very attractive.
When
engaged in these activities, you feel most like yourself:
well,
connected, excited, glowing and effortless.
Values are who you
really are.
We like
these things, but most of us lead lives which do not grant us the chance to JUST
do these things. We may be too busy with “responsibilities” incompletions,
chasing around unmet needs, just getting by, etc. In order to honor your
TrueValues, you will have to substantially alter and enhance your life to get
the room you need to engage in this ideal life.
Many of us spend our lives
trying (consciously or not) to honor these TruValues. We find ourselves getting
upset or frustrated, bored or resigned, wishing and hoping to have a better life
– this better life is, based on your TruValues.
We
would like you to take a look
at the following list of 150+ values and circle 10 which resonate as a value
for you. You are looking for a VALUE, not a want, a should, a fantasy or a
wish. A value is a MUST for you to BE YOURSELF. Part of this first step is to
TELL THE TRUTH about what you ACTUALLY VALUE or LOVE to do with your time. This
may be the first time you have ever admitted this to yourself. Some of these
you will know innately. Others require some straight looking.
Please be
willing to “try on” words you might normally skip over. These may be hidden
values. If so, you may have one or more of the following reactions:
·
No, no, no; that
would be too much fun!
·
That’s a silly
value; I should have a better one.
·
If that is true,
I’d have to change my life a lot!
·
Flush, blush or
shake when reading the word.
Got the
idea?? Good. Now circle the 10 words which you believe to be True Values. Ask
yourself: “If I had this, would I be naturally turned on, without efforting?”
(work yes, struggle no) P.S. If one of your values is not on this list, please
do write it down and circle it!!

Honoring Your Values
When you
honor your values, you honor your SELF or HIGHER SELF. Values are those
activities you naturally engage in when your life is in great shape. To honor
your values means to design and live your ideal life.
OK. Hold right here. On our
next call, as promised, we will play a game that will access your top 4 Tru
Values. Below is a space that you will write them in. Next step will be to
write a paragraph about each value and why it is a value for
you. By discovering your true values, expressing them will come easier.
This is the first step in creating a Vision, Purpose, Mission for your Life
based on your values.
