Values help guide us in our decision making and can serve as a sort of moral compass when we are faced with difficult decisions. I encourage everyone to identify a few top values that align with their vision for their best life. Knowing your core values can help shift your behaviour in the direction you want to go. Having these already identified can help us move forward in a way that suits who we are and what we value. Here are my top values that I want to share with you.
Identifying your own values is a great exercise in getting to know yourself better and can help light up the path most meant for you.
Honesty
Honesty
Honesty is the core value that I have held the longest. I believe that we can simplify so much with honesty, build deeper and more secure connections. Living with honesty as a top value allows me to have integrity and transparency. I know this is a top value for me because if I am aware of dishonesty (in Self or others) the reaction is often visceral. In action, this value guides me to speak my truth, even if it is uncomfortable.
Authenticity
Authenticity
Authenticity to me is about being brave enough to be yourself, without apology. It also means being true to yourself and your emotional experiences. The reason authenticity is a core value for me is because being vulnerable and authentic fosters genuine connection. In action, this value reminds me that I am already enough as I am, and that I don't have to be anyone else.
Kindness
Kindness
Kindness is such an essential ingredient to a fulfilling life! I believe that we all deserve kindness from ourselves and from others. It is free to treat other beings with love and respect. In action this looks like adopting a compassion versus critical stance. It is gracefully allowing and accepting the differences and similarities we share throughout our experiences. It also means forgiving ourselves for being human.
Accountability
Accountability
Accountability is important to me because as adults, we need to be accountable for our Selves. The ability to own our actions allows us to make positive changes and move forward. As adults we are all responsible for ourselves. In action, this looks like taking responsibility to re-parent my inner child and being accountable to my best Self by doing the things that I need to do to maintain my own wellness.
