How do you want to spend your time? Your energy? Your space and money? When you decide in line with your values you will feel intentional and purposeful with all your little and big decisions. 

Knowing your personal values helps you learn more about what matters to you, how you want to show up and how to make confident choices in your day and life. 

But many of us are out of touch with our values, or we have lost touch with them when we entered into motherhood. I want to help you uncover what matters to you, what your personal values are - and I want to do that without the overwhelm that comes from looking at a blank slate. 

 

Knowing your values helps you with:

Handling the world of 'too much' and decision fatigue (episode on that here)

Saying your BEST YES, owning your decisions

Feeling like you are living with integrity, purpose and contentment 

In this episode, we talk about

Times when we aren't in touch with our values, how we lose touch with them, how we adopt other people's values instead of uncovering our own

Three simple exercises to find your personal values

A simple conversation you can have with your loved ones to talk about your values in the season ahead

How to approach setting values for this season ahead

How to determine if it is your personal value or just one you think you 'should' have

Hey friends, it's Shawna, you're here to go in life coach from simple on purpose.ca Welcome back. Welcome to 2022. Welcome back to the podcast, you might know that I have taken a break from the podcast this past month, it was a much needed break. For me, I think, actually my first ever break from the podcast since I started in 2018. And I was sharing with you guys over the past couple of episodes. And in the email that I was in a really demanding season this past month demanding of my time and demanding of my emotions. And a big factor in all of that is that I had all three kids home and you know, I've kind of built up my life to align with my kids being in school and doing things during their school hours. But they had all been home since the flooding we experienced in British Columbia. Our Town was really affected by that. So since the middle of November, I think they had about 12 hours total of school time, since the middle of November that they've actually gone to school. So it's been really hands on here. And, and it's been, you know, a month of some hard things. But there's also been some awesome things too. One of the most awesome things was thanks to grandma and grandpa. We went away on New Year's Eve for the night, we went to the city spent a night in the hotel ate some great food. And that was something that I had been looking forward to this entire month, just counting down those days. Because I knew I needed that rest. I knew I needed that reset.
