Do you ever struggle to prioritize or make decisions?
Or do you ever feel yourself being pulled in two (or even three) different directions?
Yeah. Me too.
But did you know that knowing - and using - your values can help you in every day situations?
Knowing your values can help you make decisions, prioritize and live life happier, every day.
The truth is that in every moment, we are making choices.
Choices of spending more time working, or with family.
Or taking an exotic or relaxing vacation… or visiting relatives (even though we know that often is anything but relaxing or a “vacation”).
Knowing your values makes these types of trade offs easier to make and will allow you to make them with confidence.
In this episode, we’re doing some deep exploration on your values. This is an excerpt from our year-round goal-getting program called Goalden Girls Community and I’m so excited to share it with you.
Be warned: this isn’t your typical “circle your values” exercise. This is one that actually works and helps you ditch all of those darn “shoulds” so you can get down to what you TRULY value!
Get ready to learn:
Strategies for determining what your values are, why they are important and how they can help you in goal setting and life in general
What to do when you have two (or more) competing values
How to use your values to make decisions for setting goals and to live your best life
Here are the juicy bits you can look forward to:

6:12 - How values can be helpful
12:38 - How can you uncover your values (Overview of the 3 part Values worksheet)
13:29 - Part 1: The Honest Answers

19:50 - 3 tips on how to use your values
22:16 - Competing values

Here’s my promise to you: by the end of this episode, you’ll understand what true values are, how true values can help in goal setting and life in general, determine your own true values, identify competing values, and learn how to use your values to make the right decisions for you.
