Assignment
What matters most to you in life? The answer to this question is called your values. Take at least 15 minutes to jot down a free-for-all list of what means a lot to you.
Once you identify all of your values - all the things you care about, choose your "Reset 10" - a list of your TOP 10 values from your list. They don't have to be in any particular order, though you may certainly rank them if you'd like.
This assignment was very tough for me. I thought for way more than 15 minutes and the only values I could come up with were God (religion) and my children. I guess this could be a good thing but at the same time it's bad. Very bad. I am a 24 year old married woman, I am at the prime of my life so I think it is limiting to myself and children that they are such a big part of my life and I rely on them so much. My children deserve to spend time with people other than myself and I deserve time with my friends, husband, etc. but I have grown comfortable in my fear. My fear of rejection. My fear of betrayal. My fear of failure. And so this is how I live my life. Comfortable and surrounded by love… of a 6 month old girl and 17 month old boy. Is this okay?
