Your values are your quiet compass. They shape the way you show up in the world, guide the choices you make, and anchor you when life feels uncertain. When you’re clear about what matters most, decisions come more easily and your daily actions feel more aligned with the life you want to live. But many of us move through life without ever pausing to ask: What are my values, really? 

Why Values Matter

Living in alignment with your values…

• Builds clarity and confidence when facing tough choices.

• Strengthens resilience in challenging seasons.

• Creates more authentic relationships.

• Helps you feel rooted and steady in an uncertain world.

A Gentle First Step

Begin by reflecting on moments when you felt truly alive, proud, or at peace. What qualities were present in those moments? Was it honesty? Freedom? Creativity? Connection? These clues point toward the values that already live within you.

Write down three words that resonate most today. No need to be perfect—your list can evolve as you do.

A Simple Framework for Decisions

When faced with a choice, ask yourself:

“Which option honors my top values more directly—today?”

Even this one question can help you act with more integrity and peace of mind.

Living Your Values Daily

Clarity is only the beginning. The true shift happens when values become a part of your everyday rhythm. Small actions—like saying no when something feels off, or carving out time for what lights you up—are how values become embodied.

Closing Reflection

Your values are already within you. Naming them is a way of listening inward, and living them is an act of devotion to yourself.

Affirmation:  honor my values daily, creating a life of authenticity and meaning.
