living your values (and your value)

A dearest called me today to share with me about a few days she had with another dearest. How they talked about living your values, and from your values. She told me that I exemplified that, which was very, very cool.

Then a weird thing happened.

You see, I was on my bike (not in traffic!!!!) and she was in her car (I believe safely!), and maybe our phone connection was a bit wonky, but I then heard her say, “living from your value.”

BAM!!!! My brain exploded.

I told her what I’d heard her say, whether or not that was what she said.

BAM!!!! Her brain exploded too.

I do, more now than ever, live my values…and my value. I try to refocus and reframe and re-remember when I forget to do this.

But BAM!!!! Hearing this dearest say it re-re-re-re-reminded once again.

Not just figuring out what our values are and doing our best to align ourselves and our lives with them, and to live them and live from them, but also acknowledging, owning, and celebrating our value, and living that as well.

Sit with it for minute. Let it sink in. I pretty much guarantee you’ll get to the place where your brain will also go BAM!!!

We are valuable and just the way we are.

So many of us were taught – or at least learned – that we’re not, but as I like to say, That’s. Not. True.

Allow yourself the time to reflect on your values and your value, and then shine yourself and your life from that space.

BAM!!!!!

I’d love to hear your thoughts, and please share this post with others if it resonates with you. Let’s start a movement of loving ourselves First Most Always™️!
