Day 4: Envision Your Values in Action
Part 1:Now that you're clear on what you really care about, you want to compare your values to how you're currently living your life. For each value that you identified in your "Reset 10", rate yourself from 1-10 on how you feel you're acting out that particular value in your life. Be honest with yourself - it's the only way to be able to improve upon the life you're living now to the life you want to be living in the future!
Part 2: What Do My Values Look Like in Action?For each value that you identified in your "Reset 10", list out at least three actions that you currently take or that you should be taking in order to honor and fulfill that value in your life. What kinds of things would you be doing if you were living in full accordance with your values? What would it really look like for you to be able to rate yourself as a "10" on how you live out all your values?
strong/relationship with God: I would give myself about 5 right now. Jesus is my savior but I only follow him partially. I need to get more involved with the church. Simply, attending church is not enough. I need to read the bible. I need to devote myself 100 percent to living like Jesus, not 50%.
having a family: It is hard to rate this because I am not sure where I stand. I would give myself a 7 because it is important for me to have myself together as a person before I become a wife and mother. I am a work in progress but I have accomplished so many things that is guiding and preparing me for the road of motherhood and wife. To be a ten, I need to continue opening up about my feelings, continue learning who I am, and strengthen relationships with my family.
relationships: 7. To be able to give myself a ten, I should be open and honest in ALL of my relationships (siblings, parents, friends, peers), make myself available to others for support, and balance yes and no. I don't want people to walk all over me but I also don't want to be ass and only put myself first all the time.
economic security: 3. I am usually good with money but late I have been living off of faith. Three actions I need to do to establish this security is: set-up an emergency fund, pay off loans/debt, and make/follow a budget.
public service: 1. I cannot even remember the last time I volunteered for something. And public service is supposed to be my passion. I really need to step my game up on this. I need to develop an action plan for my non-profit, volunteer with adolescents, stay current on local/national news on the state of the people. I use the phrase 'state of the people' to mean their issues or hindrances. It helps me to know what they need so I can act accordingly to address that need.
achievement/advancement: 8. This is an area I esteem myself in. My current actions: applying to medical school, becoming licensed in medicine, and starting my own practice. I am well on my way.
integrity: 6.My integrity is definitely improving. I am not sure what actions to take to improve it. I need to be a woman of my word, not be hot and cold but stick to what I believe in, and take a stand for what is right.
honesty: 6. I am a blunt person however, even though the things I say is what I am thinking doesn't mean I need to say it. Essentially, I talk way to much. I want to work on filtering my honesty. I want to come to the point where I am not afraid to speak the truth on sensitive matters despite how people may respond.
wisdom: 3. I feel like I don't know anything. Three actions I should take to increase my wisdom: read more, listen to others' advice, stay up on current events. I just get so wrapped up in my world that I forget there is something way bigger than me out there.
fame/recognition: I need to thank more on this one. Maybe I am tired from typing but my mind is blank. I am starting to think that recognition isn't that important to me.
