Module 3 — Core Values part 1

What are your core values?

If you’re like most people, you don’t know. Most people haven’t taken the time to figure out their core values. Taking the time to discern what is most important at your core will create an amazing amount of clarity for you. Clarity in decision making, clarity about your emotions, clarity about your happiness and your unhappiness. Discerning your core values is key to increasing your happiness. 

In this mod, we’re going to start discerning your core values. We’re going to look at potential values, where they might have come from, and how they’re showing up i your life. By the end of the module, you’ll have a working list of 5-10 core values. We’ll call this a “working list” because as you learn more about yourself, how you describe the core of yourself will change. That’s a normal part of the process.
