I didn’t dislike my life particularly but I also wasn’t convinced I was living a life with meaning…
I was drifting. You know a same thing different day kind of existence.
There had to be more to life right?
And there is but to live a life we love we must live a life in accordance to our values.
I didn’t even know what mine were (they don’t teach this stuff in school!) let alone make sure they were reflected in my life!
So I set some time aside and got to know myself.
I asked myself questions like what’s important to me? What do I want? What do I need?
I used value cards but you can find lists and quizzes online and I whittled it down to my top ten values –
Passion
Positivity
Health
Resilience
Growth
Freedom
Intuition
Happiness
Confidence
Love
Then I asked myself where and how they were reflected in my life. Many of them weren’t!
And even now they aren’t all reflected as fully as they could be but they are all reflected in some way.
My values now form the basis of any decisions I make which brings me closer and closer to them.
It’s a work in progress!
But one thing is for sure and that is my life now has meaning and purpose.
No more drifting just full on living ❤️
Are you living a life aligned to your values?
