Today, we're going to wrap up our look at finding and living your values with a classic exercise for finding your values - but with a little twist.
Welcome back to I Wanna Be Me When I Grow Up. My name is Kara.
For many people, when they think of finding their values, they think of the most iconic exercise for finding your values which is to read through a list of words - usually a random list - and choose the words that speak to them. It's so iconic, I offered my own version of it on my website just a few weeks ago. You can find that at https://www.iwannabemewhenigrowup.com/post/use-a-list-of-inspirational-words-to-find-your-values
But, today, I'm going to offer a similar exercise, but with a twist. And we're going to use that twist to frame out the next several episodes of the podcast - focusing on what author and podcaster Gretchen Rubin calls the Vital 9 - the 9 elements of your life that you have to think about in order to live a happier, healthier, more productive life.
Today, I'm going to simply introduce the main categories of the Vital 9 and then offer some possible value words that you might associate with each of those areas. On the next 9 episodes, we'll be talking in depth about each of the Vital 9 and how you might decide the role they play in who you wanna be when you grow up.
So, without further ado, grab you pen and listen in to the Vital 9 and a few associated words with each of these topic areas.
If you'd like to hear Rubin's take on the Vital 9, you can listen to her episode - I'll put a link in the show notes which you can find on my website at iwannabemewhenigrowup.com -just click on the Podcast tab. https://gretchenrubin.com/podcast/354-consider-the-vital-9-to-plan-for-2022/
