Whether you realize it or not, you are constantly changing.
You are not the same person you were this time last year.
As time goes on, our values, goals, and ideas tend to evolve.
You should never force yourself to participate in something that doesn’t feel right.
But at the same time, you can never know how you feel about something unless you try (sometimes more than once).
Setting Goals
Setting new goals and diving back into older ones can teach us a lot about ourselves.
Imagining your future self is just as important as discovering your present self.
Where would you like to be five years from now?
What can you start doing today that will help you get there?
We can’t expect great things to magically fall in our laps.
We have to put the work in to make those dreams a reality.
Describe Yourself
How would you describe yourself to a complete stranger?
Would you start listing your personality traits, family, goals, job, all of the above?
You are so much more than your job or your hobbies.
Every single piece of you makes you who you are.
List Your Values
What do you value in others and yourself?
Do you care about community, authenticity, generosity?
Take a moment to write down the values you cherish in life.
Putting these values down on paper can help you look at them in a new way and help them feel more tangible.
Keep in mind – this list does not have to be a set-in-stone thing.
You can easily add new items to the list or even erase some as time goes on.
