Understanding Your Values
Waypoint Message
Your values are like an inner compass, quietly guiding you toward what truly matters in your life. They're the deep beliefs and principles that make you feel most alive and authentic when you honor them. Think of values as your personal North Star - they help you navigate difficult decisions, stay motivated during challenges, and build a life that feels meaningful and true to who you are. When you understand and live by your values, you create a strong foundation for happiness and resilience that no one can take away from you.
Success Strategies
1. Values Discovery Journal: Each evening, write about one moment from your day when you felt really good about something you did. Ask yourself: "What value was I honoring in that moment?" Over time, you'll start seeing patterns that reveal your core values.
2. Values-Based Decision Making: When facing any choice (big or small), pause and ask: "Which option better reflects what I truly care about?" Practice this with simple decisions like how to spend your free time or how to respond to a friend.
3. Values in Action Challenge: Pick one of your values and find a small way to express it each day. If you value creativity, spend 10 minutes drawing. If you value kindness, offer a genuine compliment. Notice how living your values affects your mood and confidence.
