With todays work stress mounting and the consumer treadmill always beckoning , it's easy to fall into bad habits. We find ourselves escaping life through TV, food, drugs or becoming a slave to the consumer culture.
Deciding what you really want in life is as easy as writing down your core values. Your core values represent who you are. They represent what you stand for. They are your moral compasses. Your list may look like this:
Good Health, Financial Freedom, Compassion, Love, Less Stress, Contentment, Gratitude, Hope, Control...etc.
Pick the top three to five core values, highlight them and put them in priority. Perhaps good health will be first, followed by financial freedom and finally gratitude.
Good health may mean a healthy lifestyle including regular exercise with friends, cooking healthy meals and meditation.
To you financial freedom might mean not having to worry about money. The bills are always paid, and your savings are growing.
Gratitude might mean always being thankful for everything that is good in your life.
Perhaps you need to set some smaller goals to help you live according to your core values.
Living according to your core values also involves personal integrity, keeping promises and discipline.
But the pay off is living the life you dreamed of.
What is important to you? Are you spending time on it?
Write that list of core values.
