We are happiest when our lives are in alignment with our core values. Living in a way that reflects what is most meaningful to us, allows us to feel more peaceful, grounded, and fulfilled. Anything that conflicts with our values will create more stress and dissonance in our lives.
It is very easy to get sidetracked by what seems easy or what other people are doing. And now, our technology is starting to pull us away from our lives and our best selves. We have become a society that spends more time looking at our electronic devices than the people we love.
Your life might be off track if:
- You go on shopping sprees when you want to be debt free.
- Your calendar is full of things that keep you busy, but are not meaningful.
- You work very long hours when you most value spending time with your family.
- You feel resentful and say hurtful things when you aspire to be a loving person.
- You eat unhealthy foods or don’t exercise when you want to improve your health.
- You do things that you are ashamed of or wouldn’t want people to know about.
- Your checking account register and credit card statements do not reflect your long term goals.
You get the idea. If you are feeling out of sync with what you value most, it’s time to make some changes. Reconnect with your core values and start shaping your life around them. You will be glad you did….
