Feeling Fulfilled

I subscribe to a newsletter from the Heart Math group (heartmath.com). They’re a wonderful organization that researches how emotions play such a powerful role on our health and well-being.

One of their recent newsletters provided some food for thought on discovering core values. Core values give meaning to life and make us who we are. Living by the principles of our core value rejuvenates our spirit, gives us a sense of purpose and creates a sense of well-being. When our values are aligned with what we do, we feel fulfilled.

When we are aligned, we are acting from our heart. The more we act from the heart, the better able we are to feel compassion, love, joy, appreciation, and the better life seems to work for us.

So take a few minutes to ask yourself the following questions:

What matters most to you?
What’s important to you in your work life?
What’s important to you outside of work?
What values do the people you admire exemplify?
What motivates you to work hard?
Which values are you consistently living?
Which ones would you like to live more?

Feeling fulfilled nourishes us on all levels – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Discovering “core values” and living those values is a pathway to better health.
