self-reflection – Ruthann M. Wilson

The next time you find yourself searching for a reason you haven’t started, completed, or followed through on something, pause and ask if it truly matters to you. If the answer is yes, spend some time exploring why it matters. When you ask yourself why something is important, you are tapping into your personal values.

Your values are always shaping your choices whether you’re aware of them or not. Clarifying them and using them as a guide can change your life. If you haven’t taken the time to write down what matters most to you, I encourage you to make it a priority. Life flows when you are clear on your values.

We are likely to struggle to keep commitments when they are not clearly connected to personal values. When this happens, commitments tend to be rooted in fear and obligation rather than in your heart.

Today is a great day to evaluate your commitments to ensure they are in alignment with your values. If not, give yourself permission to make changes or let them go.

Clarify what is most important to you and why. It will help you move toward what you desire with clarity and intention.

Clarifying your values ensures that your choices in your relationships, your work, your commitments, and your daily life are aligned, sustainable, and true to who you are.
