Core Values Exercise
Added 2024-12-05 16:07:17 +0000 UTCThis is something I referenced in Monday's episode, but I wanted to surface the Core Values Exercise my therapist suggested to me (lol) a while back because I find it really useful and think others might as well!
This is an audio version for anyone who wants to listen/have an audio walk through, or there is also the PDF here: http://webmedia.jcu.edu/advising/files/2016/02/Core-Values-Exercise.pdf
(It takes about ~15 minutes to do)
If you do this, let me know what your final 5 words are! Mine are: Curiosity, Creativity, Community, Well Being, Recognition.

2024-12-09 16:20:06 +0000 UTCThank you for doing extra spotlight on this topic! Mine were credibility, autonomy, wisdom, resilience, & generosity. Heavy Sagittarius placements, so this aligns. But made me realize I'm too responsible & need to make sure to have fun & play too!!! 🧡🧡

2024-12-05 19:27:27 +0000 UTCThis was so good! When I was a teen I learned of the Irish Claddaugh symbol (love, friendship, loyalty) and it hit me like a ton of bricks- those are my values. I got it tattooed when I turned 18. Today (at 31), my values from this exercise are loyalty, resilience, and dedication. This year was a difficult one but I have been learning how to lean on myself more, my dedication to life despite challenges and my resilience. Thank you Shannon!
