Why Values Are An Important Part of Your Sobriety!

What are values?
Why are they essential in sobriety + recovery?
Have you thought about your values and how they can be part of your personal growth? 

Values are our guideposts, our North Star for how we want to show up in this world.

Most people's lives are generally more comfortable and satisfying when they can identify their values and lean on them to make choices and actions that honor them. This supports stepping into their power and living an authentic life. 

When in active addiction, our values can fall by the wayside. We may be preoccupied with being accepted by others, wanting to feel better, or covering up what we have done to get a drink or drug.

In recovery, we may choose to recommit, recreate, or reinvest in our values to help us stay on track of sobriety and growth. 

Our values can empower us while creating a life we love.

Creating or Reinvesting in your values is an act of self-love and compassion for yourself.

Feelings of guilt and shame have no place when doing this heart-centered work. 

When we are in this place of growth, some feelings of guilt and shame may surface from previous memories. If this happens, please know you are not there anymore; you are creating a new pathway here as you recommit to creating a life you love. 

As hard as it may seem, stay here in this moment of guilt + shame; although painful, your empowerment starts here. There is no judgment, just learning to sit with it and fostering self-compassion. Leading with compassion is the key. Your self-compassion will only aid your healing. 

My Values Mastermind Course offers a space for calling on grace and kindness.  Whether you are recreating or initiating a list of values for the first time, being present, listening, reading, or writing, I suggest getting into your body to notice what alignment feels like.

I suggest listening to this beautiful meditation called YOU ARE ALLOWED from Sarah Blondin.

Is there fear, doubt, or apathy, or did those limiting beliefs and negative self-talk take over?
