The important stuff in your life – Personal core values

What are the personal core values you have in your life?

It is a big question, to ask yourself what your personal values are, but it is one question that can clarify some of our issues, behaviours, goals, wants and needs. And are our personal values really our own, or an adaptation of something we have grown up with?

In this episode I talk about reflecting on your life, what do you want to change, what do you want to have more of or maybe less ultimately leading to the question; how you might discover what the important stuff is in your life.

In my praxis, I see a lot of people that are not happy in their life. There isn’t a specific problem, just an overall feeling of dissatisfaction or unhappiness that they would like to change.

I will give some examples of questions I ask my clients and offer a few suggestions of books and articles to read that can help YOU in YOUR work with your core values.

As I mention; “ Our values are not static, they might change throughout our life and even if they don't, our life will change. So it's helpful to check in on the correlation between the important stuff and how we actually live our life”.
