31 day reset day 4 again identify your values

 
Yesterday, you wrote a magical love letter to yourself in anticipation of all the good things to come. You may have enjoyed writing it and hopefully you’re feeling pretty optimistic about the future. Another thing you probably realized though, albeit subconsciously, is that you are not exactly living up to the values you have for your life (hence all the “dislikes”). Today’s two-part exercise will force you to address that disconnect by doing the first task in developing a personal mission statement over the next three days: identifying your values.
Estimated Time to Complete: 30-60 minutes
What matters most to you in life? The answer to this question is called your values. Often we find that we’ve forgotten about that which we care about because we allowed ourselves to get stuck doing something else, on someone else’s agenda.

Take at least 15 minutes to jot down a free-for-all list of all the things that means a lot to you in your life, all the things you care about. Feel free to take more time if you need it.
Just a few examples of values include:
  • Achievement, fame, advancement, leadership
  • Money, power, authority, economic security
  • Having a family, children, love, community, friendships
  • Nature, religion, public service, ecological awareness, healthy living, physical challenge
  • Democracy, civic involvement, wisdom, integrity, truth
  • Location, privacy, country, adventure, fast-paced living
Remember, these are just examples. There are many more you can – and should – think of on your own. Most people come up with at least a dozen values once they get going.

Once you identify all of your values – all the things you care about, choose your “Reset 10″ – a list of your TOP 10 values from your list. They don’t have to be in any particular order, though you may certainly rank them if you’d like.
Tomorrow, we will move on to the next step in the process of developing a personal mission statement: envisioning your values in action.
Take Action and Reflect: When you’re done, please share your “Reset 10″ values with us in the comments! How did you feel as you completed this exercise? If you blogged about today’s assignment, please post the link in the comments so we can read it!
