How to find your Core Values 🦋 | summer of self ep 4

Welcome to Summer of Self Ep 4: Work out your Core Values With Me! 🦋This will help you get to know yourself and understand yourself better by asking questions about what is important to you in different scenarios! This contributes to clearer decision-making, self love, and clarity on your values in relationships and work life! As you can see, it's not easy to choose... The exercises in this video are a combination of a workshop I did at uni, questions I found online and other videos which I will leave linked down below :)

What are some of your core values? 🌞

Journal Prompt Exercises:
2. Write down ~10-15 which resonate with you
3. Write down the most important experiences which have shaped your life
4. Reflect on what these experiences were a means to an end of. What feeling did you want to achieve?
5. Cross off values until you land at 5.
6. Litmus Test these values with the following Qs: would I give up one of these values for £1 million?
7. Have you ever lost these values in times of stress?
8. Will you likely still have the same values in 20-50 years?
9. If yes, these values are likely core to you!

To anyone who needs to hear this: it's not really possible to be able to recognise what your core values are if you spent years in survival mode. Give yourself credit for what you have done already and DO NOT FEEL GUILTY about others' progress 🌿✨

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”
Sometimes we need a reminder like this, if you are reading this have a good day💜

If possible, could you make a video telling us about the financial aspect of attending Minerva? Like using different currencies, being able to afford living in these cities, day to day expenses etc. Love ya ❤️

The best part about getting older is how the strong need to search for your own identity subsides, and then you discover so much more outside yourself.

[lottiehuggins]

Fun idea: turn these into affirmations! Reminding yourself of the things you value most in yourself and your relationships feels so good :)

[thebenzeneboi]

1. Growth: lifelong learning and becoming a better person each and every day
2. Connection: maintaining positive relationships and meeting new people
3. Happiness: doing things that bring me enjoyment and not taking life too seriously
4. Health: building habits that keep my body and mind healthy,
5. Thoughtfulness/kindness: being a thoughtful and kind person no matter what happens in life (If someone has a better name for this value let me know!)

empathy, curiosity, love, growth, and stability
it's interesting that i found each core value is interconnected with each other in a way!

[majesticmyka]

this was such a fun exercise, I love the interactivity - my core values are creativity, liberty, empower, gratitude, and joy!

[MoversGuild]

I did this exercise all the way through with you and I discovered that out of my initial core value picks of security, stability, structure, comfort, order, and control, I chose support. Because I realized I don't need to be comfortable or in charge, I just need to know someone is there to bail me out if I don't want to do it or hype me up if I do. Thanks.

Working out my core values (altruism, connection, personal growth, well-being) a few months after graduating was life changing for me - life is so much more peaceful when you’re living in alignment with your values. It helped me figure out where to concentrate my efforts looking for a job and resulted in a fulfilling career I love. It’s also a really useful tool when I’m find anything difficult; I can so much more easily identify why something is challenging me and what I can do to overcome that. Would recommend everyone finding theirs out💛

[livi-faye]
