All the choice you make are effected by…..
Values!
Such an under rated topic and something people don’t put time into discovering their own. I have a post about this on my instagram - through.the.woods.db
Ever wondered what makes you make certain choices? What makes you behave a certain way? Or maybe what makes you drawn to certain people and relationships? Well, amongst other things, values play such a huge role. Values are things you hold very true to you. They are things that automatically make you behave a certain way even when you dont know your values. You also notice that your mood is effected if you cant engage in certain values, again even if you are unaware of what they are!
So, discovering what your values are and working to learn them, can be a very valuable piece of work. Here is the exciting part, research shows that when we live a life that is guided by our values and what matters most to us, we have lower stress levels and are happier. WSe can also make small and big decisions quicker. We communicate better and learn boundaries and what to engage in each day. We live more true to ourselves.
We all have core values, whether we are aware of them or not. They remain with us for most of our lives. Once you have identified yours, you may find yourself drawn to relationships that exhibit ones that are close to your own.
So, what could make you want to discover your own?
Well, usually it is at a time when you feel lost, or maybe at a cross roads in life. Maybe feeling increasingly unsatisfied with work and life. Engaging in values work can make it more clear what is important to you and why your life may not be aligned to your values. It allows you to live more with purpose and a more driven life.
There are many ways to complete value work and often the clients that I do this with say it is exicitng and very eye opening to discover. Sometimes they realise that they have been guided by their values their whole life and other times realise that their low mood is because of going against values they didnt even know they had. It is a very imporant bit of work.
You can contact myself if you would like guidance. You can also purchase some great value cards online to work through. Some ones I like are:-
