Look at how someone spends their time…
Look at how someone spends their time and you will instantly know their value system.
This is often a hard pill for people to swallow, but it is an awesome indication of the truth. And one I use regularly, to gauge whether or not actions are aligned with my vision.
Because the truth is, if it’s important you’ll find a way, if not you’ll find an excuse.
For me, I value my health and so I spend time shopping for and preparing home cooked meals. I spent time exercising and prioritize a good night’s sleep.
My values determine my decisions whether I know it or not.
When I feel like life isn’t going the way I want, I check in first with where I’m spending my time and conversely what my values are. It’s a dead ringer for what’s “blocking” me.
When my clients are struggling with creating what they desire, I walk them through this exercise…
- What do you want to prioritize? What do you feel is not getting your full attention? 
- How many hours a week are you currently working? And how much are you currently making? 
- How much time do you need to stay on top of home duties? 
- How much time do you want to yourself 
- How does this all compare to your current situation? 
- What does your ideal week look like? 
- What can we shift first to turn your current reality into your ideal life?
