Use Your Core Values to Create your Best Year Yet

By prioritizing your core values for the year ahead, you’ll build intentional and amazing outcomes

This might sound naïve, but I’m feeling really positive about this new year. I suspect it’s a result of a few tough years, several key, deep conversations, and the important decision I made to move back to Australia in October. Whatever it is, I’m seeing huge potential for the year ahead.

And yet, potential of itself isn’t enough. We need to take intentional action towards our goals for them to manifest. This is where a reevaluation of your core values can be potent.

Your core values are the guiding principles that shape your actions, decisions, and overall direction in life (haven’t identified your core values yet? No stress, do my free guided exercise here). And by taking a bit of time to assess and reprioritize your values, and get a clear picture of what they mean in the context of 2025, you translate potential into lived experience.

Amazing lived experience.

Why your values matter

Knowing your values — what matters to you, and how you want your life to look and feel — helps guide great decisions and healthy boundaries.
