Content: #1 - Live our best lives
Often, when we find ourselves feeling a sense of friction in our lives, it is because we are out of alignment with our values. Self-awareness can help us recognize when we feel this internal resistance. We can then reflect on what does not feel right and check in with our core values. On the flip side, strong alignment with our values can bring us feelings of peace, contentment, and excitement. When we are self-aware and in touch with these values, they drive our behavior. When we are living our values, we show up as our most authentic and most alive versions of ourselves. Values also help us sort our way through difficult decisions.
