The positive life plan - how to define your values
You know I love words. And I love my journal - it’s one of my most treasured possessions. Recently I took a big step - for me - and stopped combining my notebook (lists, thoughts, work stuff, finances… basically everything life-related) with my personal journal. I’ve started a beautiful new notebook, and I’m going to keep it just for journal entries and writing prompts. It’s not a diary by any means, but just a personal place to explore thoughts and feelings, record quotes that I love, and jot down things that I want to remember or revisit at a later date. I was reading an article recently - I think it was in Stylist - about choosing a ‘values-based career’. It basically talked about how choosing a career based on your core values is the secret to finding job satisfaction. I soon got lost down a values-based rabbit hole and it was SO interesting that I knew I had to share. Here’s a great exercise on how to define your values - the results may surprise you!
