Find Time by First Clarifying Your Values

Posted on September 16, 2008, under Time and Values.

If your values are going to be your guide, a key first step is to take some time to clarify what you mean by your values. What do they look like?

My recent article titled Finding Time by Championing Your Values – 3 Essential Steps to Reclaim Your Time (found on ezinearticles.com) offers an exercise in which you map your ideal day.

Try it! As you create your map, you will begin to see your values illuminated. Be as specific as you can. The more detail you include, the more information you’ll make available to yourself.

What does your day look like – and what does it tell you about your values? As your values take clearer shape, how do you feel about them? Are there changes you want to make?

Concretizing your ideal day is a great tool for seeing (and feeling) what you value. Use this exercise periodically – especially at times of transition. You’ll come to know yourself more deeply each time you do it. That, in turn, will help you to make well-informed choices about your priorities and your direction.

Your wellspring of energy resides in living your values. Tap this power to make the most of your life!
