Defining Your North Star: Identifying Core Values

Introduction

In the journey of self-discovery and personal growth, understanding and living by your core values is akin to having a reliable compass. It guides your decisions, shapes your relationships, and ultimately leads you towards a life that feels authentic and purposeful. This article is a guide to help you identify and define your core values, your North Star in the sea of life's choices.

Understanding Core Values

What Are Core Values?

Core values are the fundamental beliefs and principles that are most important to you. They represent the essence of who you are, what you stand for, and what you prioritize in life. These values serve as a guiding force, influencing your behavior, decisions, and relationships.

The Significance of Identifying Core Values

Identifying your core values provides a solid foundation for living authentically and in alignment with your true self. It empowers you to make choices that resonate with your deepest desires and aspirations. When you live in harmony with your core values, you experience a greater sense of fulfillment, purpose, and inner peace.

The Process of Identifying Core Values

Self-Reflection and Introspection

Set Aside Quiet Time: Find a peaceful environment where you can reflect without distractions. This could be a corner in your home, a quiet park, or a cozy café.

Journaling: Begin by writing down experiences, moments, and interactions in your life that have deeply resonated with you. These can be positive experiences that made you feel truly alive or moments of conflict that revealed what truly matters to you.

Identify Peak Moments: Recognize the times when you felt most fulfilled, satisfied, and authentic. These instances often provide valuable insights into your core values.

Analyze Your Role Models: Think about the people you admire most. Consider the qualities or values in them that you find most inspiring.

Prioritize Your List: Review your reflections and identify recurring themes. From these, begin to prioritize the values that resonate with you the most.

Defining Your Core Values

Narrowing Down Your List

Select Your Top Values: Choose the values that stand out as the most important to you. Aim for a concise list that resonates deeply.

Clarify Each Value: Take time to define what each value means to you personally. How do you embody this value in your daily life?

Write a Personal Statement: Craft a brief statement for each core value. This could be a sentence that encapsulates how you intend to live by this value.

Create a Visual Reminder: Design a visual representation of your core values. This could be a vision board, a piece of artwork, or a screensaver on your device

Living by Your Core Values

Integrating Values into Daily Life

Make Conscious Decisions: When faced with choices, consider how they align with your core values. This awareness will guide you towards decisions that resonate with your true self.

Set Goals in Alignment with Values: Establish personal and professional goals that are rooted in your core values. This ensures that your pursuits are meaningful and purposeful.

Communicate Your Values: Share your core values with close friends and family. This fosters deeper connections and allows others to understand what truly matters to you.

Regular Reflection and Realignment: Periodically revisit your core values. As you grow and evolve, your values may also shift. Reflect on whether they still accurately represent your true north.

Conclusion: Guided by Your North Star

Identifying and defining your core values is a transformative step towards living a more authentic, purposeful life. Your core values act as a guiding light, illuminating the path towards decisions that align with your true self. Embrace this process of self-discovery, and let your values be the compass that leads you towards a life of fulfillment, authenticity, and lasting joy. Your North Star is within you; it's time to let it shine.

Core values in relationships

You can find out who's worth your effort, attention, time, consideration, energy, by observing what their core values are.

All of that has an affect on how we feel about ourselves, so this is why we need to be careful of who we let in.

When you're around someone who doesn't listen to what you have to say, values opposite of what you value, has different/clashing goals, or if they constantly ruin your vibe when you're around them. That would be someone you don't share core values with.

So example, if they like to argue things out while you like to talk things out, depending on how likely they are to compromise with you says a lot about how much of yourself you should invest into them.

I feel like if they can't respect you in the most basic/necessary ways, then they aren't your person. Relationship or friendship wise. The compromising part is an important quality to look out for, other wise you could get stuck with a selfish ignorant person who only cares about their own needs/well being and expects you to change yourself to make them comfortable. Some people don't change. So imo, it's smart to check if your core values align with someone else's before you allow them into your sacred space.

From experience dealing with toxic people changed me so much, it made me bitter, nasty, insecure, weaker, even affected my health.

So when you understand that some people would rather see you embarrassing yourself, angry, sad, losing in life, basically in any way you validate their ego, than you know who not to associate with.

It's like a shark and bunny, they have nothing in common. They can never help each other bc they aren't of the same species, don't think, live, breathe the same. One would die in the water, while the other would die on dry land.

There is no reason for them to even be in the same room. Nothing would come from that relationship. The same applies in our relationships, some people will waste all your time, energy, life, if you let them. So recognize when people are no good for you or your future and keep them at a distance. Don't let them affect you mentally, emotionally or occupy any space in your mind. Esp for us anxious, sensitive, overthinkers.

If you define yourself by anything outside of you… who are you when it’s taken away? That’s what often leaves people feeling broken and lost… This is easy to see in ROLES we play: Someone lose a job where their title was what mattered to them… People put all their worth in being a mom but are lost when their kids go away to school… It happens on break ups all the time (and understandably so…) Athletes? Experience this all the time when transitioning out of sport. It’s also easy to see in things we HAVE: “I’m the girl/guy with the abs…” (reminder, bodies change with age) “I’m the one who always has great hair…” (What happens when we start to lose our hair?) If you live with this quote in mind, it will remind you to always keep exploring who you are, what your core values are, and allow you to still feel whole when things you value (things *outside of you* that you value) start to change… because inevitably, they will change. (This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t value things outside of us… it means we should realize that we are still whole when things outside of us change. We should expect it to happen…but how do we prepare ourselves?
