BUILD ON YOUR BASICS © Rhoberta Shaler, PhD www.OptimizeLifeNow.com
When you take the time to reflect on what you truly find valuable, important and significant in your life, you can begin to build upon that. It is essential to know what you personally value, not what you have been taught to value, or told to value. It is not a "should", but a personal choice.
It may take some doing to sort this out. Take your time. You are defining the foundation of your life. What a great way to be ready for a fresh look at what’s possible for you!
Choose one thing from your list. Let's say that you choose ‘loving relationships’. Sit with that thought. Follow it. What is a loving relationship to you? How do you know one when you have one? What are the characteristics? What do you bring to it? What do you want from it? What are you willing to do to have it? What are you unwilling to do? It is this kind of examination of each of your values that allows you to create it fully in your life.
Take that one thing from your list and look for places where you are currently expressing it. It may not be an important value to you if you are not expressing it and keeping it at the forefront of your mind. It may be just a nice idea.
If you value it, you seek it out. You create it wherever you are. You think about it, plan for it and look for it.
ALWAYS REMEMBER----WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO EXPANDS!
