How to Define Your Personal Core Values
2. Make a list of your personal core values. Do not hold back.
3. Refine this list down into 10 values.
4. Refine the ten words into six.
6. Take your four personal core values and rank them in order of importance to you. You can use the “pitting against” process to help with this.

Content: When we aren’t clear on our values, we tend to prioritize the things we “should” do or are “expected” to do, and that often leaves little room for the stuff that actually matters. When you get clear on your values, you can begin investing your time in the things that are important to you instead of spending it on things that don’t. Which leads me to my next point…
Your values will show you where your “blocks” are. When you start defining your personal core values and compare them to how you are showing up in your life each day, you will likely come across some places that aren’t in alignment. Finding misalignments isn’t a reason to beat yourself up or freak out; it’s an invitation to heal the root cause of the misalignments so that you can move forward with deeper integrity. For example, let’s say that personal and spiritual growth is important to you, but despite your cram packed bookshelf and a hard drive full of courses and ebooks, you rarely invest time in actually learning from them and applying the concepts. This doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough or any of that BS. It’s an invitation to see what is really going on there. Maybe there’s something you’re afraid of facing or perhaps your time isn’t balanced in a way that allows for personal growth time because you think that carving out time for yourself is selfish.
