Journaling my core values has been instrumental in rebuilding self-confidence in the midst of depressive episodes. I used New Happy’s Values Wheel to start, then rewrote my core values in my own words.
I started by highlighting my top 20, then checking my top 10.
As I filled in the wheel, I was able to consolidate my top 10 down to 5.
We are all the main characters of our own lives. We deserve autonomy, dignity, and confidence.
We are always learning, creating the life we want to live and the person we want to be.
The things we do and say matter. We are accountable for our actions, words, choices, and perceptions.
Do it for the bit. Not everything has to be serious. Do the things you love just because you love them.
Live out loud. We can’t learn from each other’s journeys if we don’t talk about them.
