To claim your values, it is helpful to have a list to work from. After you have a list of values to choose from, set a timer for three minutes. Read through the list of values and circle every one that your gut says fits you. When the timer goes off, copy all the circled words down into a shiny new list. This list will be the perfect place to really dig into what your heart tells you about which values are truly yours.

This clarity around my personal values has assisted me in making decisions more quickly, and better yet, I’ve found a greater satisfaction around the decisions I make. This has created a domino effect of goodness in my world. These values have led me to better decision making and has led me along the path of greater confidence in myself, and generated an overall feeling of happiness around my day-to-day life.
