31 Day Reset: Day 5

Day 5: Write a personal mission statement

Values + Values in Action = Personal Mission Statement

Now that you've identified your values and what your values look like in action, you should now take at least 30 minutes to begin drafting your personal mission statement. You should take as much time as you need to reflect and write out your mission statement. It can be short-term or long-term, and should encompass your values and how you'd like to express them in your life. You don't have to use ALL the values in your Reset 10 if you don't want to. It may serve you best to only include your top three or you could include all 20 of the ones you came up with during your brainstorm. It's up to you to decide what would be most useful.

The statement itself can be as short or as long as you think it needs to be, but the process and the final statement should serve to help you make different kinds of decisions about how you will live your life from now on. And remember, it will continue to change as YOU change over time, so don't worry about it being perfect and final. This should be a work in progress, just like you!

I will not allow any obstacles big or small to stop me from moving forward. I will not let one event destroy my life. I will not be my own worst enemy. I will love and cherish my inner being remembering that I am only human and I make mistakes. The best thing about making mistakes is the learning involved in the process. I will not blame any other being for what I have not accomplished. I will finish everything I start. I will treat every person I come in contact with as I would want to be treated. I want to be treated well. But most of all, I will not lose myself on the journey to the best me I can be!
