Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I can’t tell which of my values are truly mine and which I just absorbed from my parents or my culture
- If someone asked me what I actually care about, I’m not sure I could answer honestly
- I pour everything into one part of my life
- I’ve done all the clarifying and ranking and I have this lovely list of values
- I drift through my days reacting to whatever’s loudest and I’ve lost the thread of what actually matters to me
