ALIGNMENT - DEFINING YOUR VALUES 

From our meditation yesterday did words, ideas arrive from your questions:

  • What do I really want?
  • What do I need to let go of?
  • How can I serve? 

These answers will most likely be the key to what you value most in your life & be a great place to now

DEFINE YOUR VALUES

This question of 'what are your values' can often be quite a hard one to answer & define.

A good way to think about it is:

  • What do I stand for?
  • What do I want to be known for?
  • What do I want people to remember about my business?
  • What experience would I hope people take away with them after they've met me or engaged in my business?

Sometimes another way to help you define these values is thinking about what you WOULDN'T want to be known for. Where you feel you've been let down by others.

Below you'll see a prompt list of words that may help you get started or please add your own.

ACTION:  

Intuitively and without giving it too much thought, in your journal:

  • Write down the first values that speak to you. As many as you like.
  • Then review these words & refine down to your top 3-5.
  • Write these in your journal as your core values.

Don't be surprised if, as a Creative Business Owner, your personal & business values are one & the same.

  • Authenticity      
  • Achievement
  • Adventure
  • Authority
  • Autonomy
  • Balance
  • Beauty
  • Boldness
  • Compassion
  • Challenge
  • Citizenship
  • Community
  • Competency
  • Contribution
  • Creativity
  • Curiosity

  • Respect
  • Responsibility
  • Security
  • Self-Respect
  • Service
  • Spirituality
  • Stability
  • Success
  • Status
  • Trustworthiness
  • Wealth
  • Wisdom

 

These will become your anchor, your compass when it comes to making decisions in your business.

But before we begin MIND MAPPING, GOAL SETTING & SEASONAL PLANNING, all of which will become so much easier to do now, we have one more important step to finding our CLARITY. 

A step that really does ensure that you are living in alignment everyday.

Until tomorow - Be Always Blooming
