Just did my inventory. It was...eye opening. Belonging, Achievement, Humility, Creativity and Privacy were tops. Who am I? I cringed at the achievement one, I don't know why. First place I'll write into, I guess.
Thank you for this post and the link to the Inventory. Your process really resonates with me. I'm 52 and asking myself big questions such as: who am I? Who am I, really? What is most important to me in this next part of my life? What do I want? Thos process of individuation can be exhausting AND exciting, I think. ✨💜
I believe knowing your values is very important. It's something I'd understood sooner, but then again, maybe I wasn't ready for it. An internet search yields plenty of lists which can be a great place to start. But the reason why I believe it's important is because it explains so much, especially in relationships - work, intimate, self. Good to explore!
So here’s the thing: some of these items in your list aren’t values- they’re what you value in yourself. Values carry through all aspects of your life and can be applied across many realms. For example— honesty, courage, compassion. So… for example… as a nature loving person, how would you apply the value of honesty to your life? Might you discover that you honestly love nature only when you are at leisure to enjoy it and not when it becomes the focus of your daily work? Etc.

Achievement and humility are also a challenging balance!

And a little scary! Thank you for reading. 💜
Indeed!
I'm addicted to self discovery tools! Here's hoping this one helps you identify your goals.
