LIVING into Our VALUES - INSIDE TO OUTSIDE - How do we DO THAT??

article image placeholderUploaded by @DBPardes
And from that list it's like a manual. And you refer to that every time you move out into the world and you're like, how am I going to make this decision? Where am I going to go from here? If you have deep values and you've identified them, it makes things much more clear. And I think for myself, when I started speaking with Amy, I was like, this is really a great blueprint

Here’s a little about Amy - https://amyjohnsonco.com/ #workIt

So this is where I am today, helping other people, often in turning points of their own life, find the clarity, authentic, direction, and well being that comes with this work that I have been so blessed to get to do in my life

@CoreValuesAmy the process

And I'm wondering, as we kind of stretch out this conversation so that people understand sort of the rigor of your practice and how you help people align with identifying that align and then activate their values because things emerge over time, and yet you're in a concentrated relationship with somebody you're working with. Do you track back in their lives to help them identify things that happened? Or what if they're not aware?

And if we don't spend the time being conscious about it, then we're often acting automatically, habitually, distractedly all day long. So there is the reason it's important to engage in a process to determine what your values are. And I want to share a little bit about what core values mean in the first place. Hi

I'm wondering if you provide, like, students in your workshops or clients, like, tools, I don't know, to create new habits that align with the values. How does habit play into it? Because I feel like even when I know what I should do or what is good for me or what I truly love, sometimes I'll just go the easy way out and do something that I know is not like the healthier or option or the option that's going to make me happier

To some extent, yes. But how could it be even more integrated, even more embodied? And yeah, I'd definitely be curious to hear more about what your eight steps are. Is that something that party or that happens, like all in one sitting? Is it eight different settings? Is it two? How long does that process take? Does it depend on the person? And yeah, I would just be curious if you had any advice on the integration aspect. I have my list

I love this. I love the idea of values, because the truth is, I don't. I think about a lot of things, but I've, like, not sat down and really, like, thought about my values values. Instead, I have kind of gone along with what my family believes. And even though I agree with most of what my family believes, I wonder from time to time, do I really feel that way? What is my version of these values?

@MarleyMusarra

Now, that's kind of the big framework of the eight step process because there's also an action plan that comes out of that. But then the fun really begins because it's like, okay, now what? How do we really integrate these in our day, every day? And I created a community to be able to do that because we all want to live our values and live more in alignment with them

And that resonate for me. So that's why the process that I came up with take some time to get us there. Because once you have your set, then the other stuff kind of clicks into place far more directly. Because there's clarity. There's really clarity about myself, and it doesn't mean that it's one and done. Certainly words shift around and I can make some decisions. I decided between my value of integrity and responsibility

@ZLisbon

So I've developed an inquiry based approach, and that helps get you to kind of the things that really resonate for you. And then there's a sorting process and a testing process, because sometimes you probably find that you have the exact same values as your family and sometimes they will differ. And the calibration is that second step, and that's where it really becomes important, where you really get to define for yourself what that means. A lot of times people put family down as a value

@CoreValuesAmy language

And what's that line between you helping them get a better word and you wanting them to have a word that they really relate to and understand? Because flourished me is a very beautiful, deep word with so much color to it for me and so much abundance. It's better than the word growth or the word expansion. It's just so much more delicious. How do you work with people on language?

God, I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm kind of spacing out here just because I'm kind of visualizing all the little puzzle pieces and it just fits so nicely. I'm wondering, like, what boundaries do you set? Sort of because if we're talking about, like, childhood not trauma necessarily, but, like, childhood habits and stuff like that, there's therapy and there's, like, life coaching and where do you feel like your work lives on that spectrum?

I really needed to hear this a lot because I definitely have my character values and the things I believe in, the things that I put weight on through life. Right, but have I made a list of them? No. Have I guaranteed that they are three to five? No. Would it be helpful? Absolutely. And to speak on why I believe it would be helpful is because we live in such an energy and data driven world

@DBPardes

Yet flourish had a whole other element to it that I wanted to add into my life. And this was actually the last value that I added to my set of values. I had six for many years, and then this became the 7th. The words matter and the words we choose and the words we enjoy and the words that connect us to ourselves. That is what the process helps reveal

@r.o

It aligns and there's a resonance and a vibration to living that feels good. And when it's not in alignment, there is awareness and noticing and course correction that can occur rather than taking ourselves out for not being good enough or not feeling whole or so much of the self help world is about your broken. And this isn't about that. This is about an uncovering, sometimes a recovering and discovering process. And I need more of that in my life

@CoreValuesAmy THANK YOU!!

Hey, Amy. I think what you just said is so spectacular and so great in terms of modeling for others. When you find something that works so well for you and you find a sort of a process for it, a structure for it through which you know you've succeeded, you want to share it, especially being the person that you are. It makes so much sense

I appreciate you telling us what your process has been and how you're thinking about core values. Each voice that as the conversation brings so much to the the level and depth of what we're talking about here. What I heard you say, which is exciting to me, is the idea of knowing your values. And then the sweet spot is integrating them and beginning to work with them on a regular basis

And I really like what you said about if your business values are aligned with your values, then you're just going to be able to show up that much better and stronger and more radiant and magnetic. So I love that. So I actually went to take a peek and it's funny because they are very, very similar. It's like my business value was joy. That one also exists in my personal one and then let me take a peek. Heart centered
