Sorting and Living Your Values

A free assessment and exercise with which to close your year strong.

Well, it’s that time of year. Mariah Carey is suddenly singing in all the stores and elevators. Tinsel and sparkling lights are appearing again. Pumpkin spice just came and went like a flash. In a minute, 2023 will be in the rearview. And resolutions will be on the tip of the cultural tongue.

Resolutions are… fine. They’re kind of like turkey for Thanksgiving: inevitable, semi-ceremonial, and kind of random when you get right down to it.

Resolutions tend to be more about guilt and gloom than propulsive and galvanizing. They’re usually based in being hard on ourselves and whipping ourselves into shape. Here’s a better way to envision a new way of being for yourself that is more positive, aspirational, and electric.

It’s called the Living and Sorting Values exercise. I’ve created a free, simple assessment tool for you to use. When you have 15 minutes or so, have a go at it.

We live in a wild time. There’s much to be grateful for… and so much suffering and crisis and bad news. In this context it can be easy and slippery living up to what we value. Sometimes we’re just white-knuckling and self-caring just enough to get by.

Putting our values into focus and setting intentions and plans that get us in actual, living alignment with our values... it makes it all worth it. It feels good. It feels right. It’s a gift we give to ourselves and our people, and it keeps on giving.

Warmly,
