YOUR ENERGY DRAIN:

LACK OF VALUES  ALIGNMENT

what this means and how to reclaim your time + energy

Your biggest energy leak? Creating success that doesn’t feel like you.

 

You’ve built an amazing life, but you’re quietly wondering, “Is this really it?” 

The truth is, your life hasn’t caught up to what you truly value. You’re living according to old goals, outdated definitions of success, and values that no longer fit.

Let's have a look at your personality breakdown.

STRENGTHS:

You have strength and drive – when you set your mind to accomplishing something, you will find a way to make it happen.

 

You are adaptable and resilient; you can adjust your approach to meet whatever challenge or goal is in your path.

 

You care deeply, and you put that care and effort into everything you do – whether it’s a new business or a school bake sale.

WEAKNESSES:

Without clarity on your values, you’re in danger of pouring time and energy into goals that don’t actually serve you.

 

You’ve lost trust in yourself; constantly overriding your internal guidance weakens your ability to make authentic choices.

 

You look at your achievements, and feel…empty. Despite your external success, you feel hollow or disconnected from your own life.

IN SUMMARY:

 You are an achiever who cares deeply about the work you set your hands to, but you can get so wrapped up with the busyness of the day-to-day that you don't stop to look at the big picture, to ensure that your work is building a life that you actually like. 

The good news: High achievement is not mutually exclusive with a life that is full of joy, rest, and deep fulfillment. 

You are capable of building a life where your values are front and center, not an afterthought or a “nice to have.” This isn’t about figuring out the perfect time blocking system; this is about digging deep and letting your values guide your hours. 

WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE TODAY:

Take ten minutes to just be still. No music, no other person around, no phone – if weather allows, take this time outside. Allow yourself to get quiet and exhale. 

 

Once your internal buzz quiets down, take some time to consider:

What is one thing that you value, but do not invest time in? Why do you think that is? What could you do this week to make one small deposit in that value – even if it’s just five minutes?

WISDOM FOR 

REGAINING

ALIGNMENT

"Forget about willpower. It's time for why-power. Your choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your desires and dreams. The wisest and most motivating choices are the ones aligned with that which you identify as your purpose, your core self, and your highest values. You've got to want something, and know why you want it, or you'll end up giving up too easily."

YOUR NEXT STEP THIS MONTH: 

Let go of one thing each week that doesn’t serve you. One obligation. One expectation. One thing you keep saying yes to that no longer aligns with the life you actually want. You do not have to do everything. You are allowed to release what is no longer meant for you.

This is not saying no for the sake of saying no – this is clearing the runway for saying “yes” to the things that really matter with joy and energy.

Pro tip: If you find yourself saying “yes” to too many things because it’s difficult to turn down requests in real time, hit the pause button. Ask for time to check your calendar, consult with your spouse, or just take some extra time so you can assess the request and the bandwidth it will require without the pressure of answering right away.

WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE THIS YEAR:

Do a deep dive into your values, and then re-architect your life to align with what really matters to you.
