Hey guys. Alright, so we are on week two training number three. And today we're talking about establishing your core values and establishing if they're in alignment with the actions that you're currently taking in your life. So if you find yourself burnt out and overwhelmed and stressed with everything that you have for, to do lists in your life, things that you've said yes with yes to that weren't really necessarily your best. Yes, you felt obligated to say yes to this is where this training is going to come in handy for you. Because your core values, they are your essence.

They're what makes you you. They are why everyone loves you for who you are. And with me and my number one core value is putting God first. It's spending time with God in the morning and reading my Bible and just praying throughout my day is always putting God first and that is One of the reasons why people love me so much is because I'm really open about that, that is who I am. That is my essence. That is my number one value.

So we're going to be talking about what's important. What's important to you, how your core values are, how you behave, how you accept things that in your life that you either want or don't want in your life. And to find your core values, this could be a nice and short training for you. Because it's really right to the point. It's, I want you to think of a moment in your life when you were the happiest, the happiest you ever were in your life. And I want you to think of the actions that you took the things that you will allow it into your life, the energy that you invested into certain things that allowed that moment to happen in your life.

So whether it's you said no to something that didn't necessarily mean anything to you didn't benefit you in any way, shape, or form. You put yourself first in the morning, you put God first in the morning, you just gave yourself permission to do something you wouldn't normally do. Whatever it is, think about what it was that allowed that moment to happen in your life. What were your actions in that day in that, that moment? I want you to think about that. And when we make yes or no decisions in our life, yes, they are our best.

Yes, they're either a heck yes or no. But they're based off of our values. So when me For example, my number one value is to put God first. If I have that as my number one value, I'm not going to accept a job. I'm not going to do things on Sundays that don't allow me to have God first. So like I've had job offers where I had to work on Sundays and I told them, I'm sorry, I will accept this.

Position however, I can't work Sundays. And because I said I can't work Sundays, I wasn't able to accept the position because they require you to work weekends. But that's not matching up and aligning with my value. So I did not take that offer. So when you are making your yes and no decisions, they have to be in alignment with your values. So to find your values, like I said, think of that moment in your life.

That was you were the happiest, and I'll go through our assignment that I'm going to be posting in this group for you and go through it a little bit more in detail because it is kind of not a complicated assignment, but it's easier for me to explain it over video. But I want you to imagine what your life would be like without these core values. If you were offered, for example, a million dollars to no longer have this core value in your life. So if I was offered a million dollars To just completely veto God out of my life, I would not do it. I could not do it because I know that God would allow that million dollars to come for me in another format. But to completely eliminate God from my life just to accept a million dollars that doesn't sit well with me.

So whatever it is, that is your core values, ask yourself if I was offered a million dollars to eliminate this from my life, what I do it, if you say yes to that, that is not a core value. That is not the essence of who you are. It will not sit well if you so my core values and when you do this activity, you're going to have things like faith, compassion, heart, heart warming, or like just simple one word actions. I want you to dig even deeper than that. So my core values are spending time with God having quality time with friends, family and my spouse having a clean clutter. free environment, time with myself to do things that I love.

So those are my my top four, four values that I have, and I've got more values, but those are really the ones that make me who I am, I have an assignment for you guys to do, I'm going to be sharing it in here and it's on how to find your values. So in order to do this activity, you're gonna have to have a partner, you know, whoever it is, but you need to do it with a partner. Because if you do this yourself, it's not going to really have the benefit. The same benefit if you were to do it with someone else. So Alright, so this is a partner exercise. And it's important to do with a partner as it will show you what your values truly are.

Make sure you have at least 10 values written down this exercise. So if you have more than 10 or less than 10, that's totally fine. Just try to make sure that you have 10 because in order to be really benefit from this having 10 is most people can come up with 10 at least eight to 10. So step one is to get your partner to ask you the following question, what do you value in your life? And have them write it down? There's no right or wrong answer, this is an activity for you and everyone is different, you should have at least 10 values.

But if less, you have less, that's okay. So step number two. So once you have completed that with your partner, and you have all those values written down, and I mean, give yourself, we'll say five minutes for this activity, because that's really what it's going to take to get to that 10. Because it's a really deep thought activity. It's not something you're asked on a daily basis. So it's not something that's really easy for you to come up with right off the hop.

So give yourself a timer, five minutes, and that'll really give you that that time to come up with the 10. So step number two, have your partner now ask you the following. What do you really will value in life so this is when the list is going to get even deeper than what you came up with the first time because the first time you're like, yeah, I value my faith, I value friendship, I value honor honesty, and then you're going to go even deeper. So I value my time with God, I value honest, friends who are honest with me, I value compassionate people, you know, like it's going to get deeper and deeper as you do this. So get them to ask you what do you really value in life and emphasize on them really. And your answers are going to get even deeper.

So step number three, I want you to grab that list that they wrote down for you. And you're going to put them in alphabetical order. So from the first letter, put it in alphabetical order. And if you have more than 10 values, eliminate them down to 10. So once you have done that, you're going to have the last step, which is have your partner go through your list alphabetically. And ask yourself What do you value more spending time with your family or spending time with God or whatever it is, so for This is the example that I have in the worksheet which is getting a good quality sleep, having money to do fun things, having a clean environment at home, spending time with family working at a job I enjoy.

So your partner's going to go through your lesson. Obviously, it's going to be different from this. This is just stuff that I wrote down for the worksheet is what do you value more getting a good quality sleep or having money to do fun things? So I value getting good quality sleep? What do you value more getting a good quality sleep for having a clean environment? Having a clean environment, because that really impacts my life?

So what do you value more having a clean environment or spending time with your family? Spending time with my family? What do you value more spending time with your family or working in a job you enjoy. So you get the point you're gonna go through that list until you eliminate it down to the number one value. So once you have the number one value, which would have been in this case, spending time with family, you're going to go through that list again. So you're going to cross off spending time with family because that's your number one value.

You know, that's what you value the most in your life out of your life. You're gonna cross that off and put that as your number one or you can put number one next year, or however you do it. And you're going to go through the next list. So instead of having spending time with family, you're going to getting good quality sleep, having money to do fun things, having a clean environment, and working at a job you enjoy. So then going through that list of four things, you're going to know what your second top value is, obviously, you'll have nine things to go through. But to make this short, sweet and simple, there's only five in this list.

So I hope that makes sense to you. And if you have any questions with this worksheet, definitely let me know. But having your values figured out, it's going to help you eliminate so much stress in your life. So many things that you have said yes to that really don't matter to you. Don't matter to your goals don't matter to where it is that you want to be. It doesn't.

It's going to help you so much with getting to that next step in your life and eliminating the burnouts eliminating the stress overwhelm and the guilt and the shame and all of that. So I hope you enjoy this activity. I hope you enjoyed this module, the modules and this week and don't forget to do your surveys so that I can figure out what it is you guys are learning from these activities and the assignments and the trainings so that I can get a better idea of what I need to add in this course.
