In today's fast-paced world, so many people are feeling stressed, anxious, or even depressed, without fully understanding why. The truth? Many are living out of alignment with their core values. They’re making decisions based purely on survival—just trying to get through another week, another month, another year. But what if we could change that? What if we learned how to align with our core values and never lost sight of them? Would that transform the way we experience life? Absolutely.
Why Living in Alignment Matters
When you live in alignment with your core values, everything shifts. Decision-making becomes easier because you no longer second-guess yourself—you know exactly where your boundaries are. You feel a sense of clarity and confidence because every choice you make is leading you toward the life you’re intentionally creating, rather than a life that happens by default.
So, how do you start living in alignment? The first step is identifying what your core values actually are.
Discovering Your Core Values
Core values are the non-negotiable principles that guide your life. The challenge is, many of us have never taken the time to clearly define them. Here’s a simple exercise to get started:
Make a List: Look up a list of core values online and write down your top 20. These could include things like honesty, integrity, family, generosity, kindness, adventure, or freedom.
Narrow It Down: Choose the five to seven values that resonate the most. These are your deal-breakers—the values you refuse to compromise on.
Draw the Line in the Sand: Moving forward, every decision you make should align with these core values.
For example, freedom is one of my top values, which meant I needed to create a life that allowed me to travel. Now, I get to visit my daughters in Colorado for a month and a half, go snowboarding, take hikes, and fully enjoy my time with them. Because I made decisions in alignment with my values, I created a life that reflects what truly matters to me.
Living Your Values in Everyday Life
Once you’ve identified your values, the next step is to assess your current life and see where you're in or out of alignment. Ask yourself these questions:
Are my daily decisions reflecting my core values?
Where am I out of alignment?
What needs to change so I can live more in alignment with my values?
For instance, if family is a core value but you’re constantly arguing with loved ones, it’s time to reassess. If peace is important to you, then fostering harmony in your home should be a priority.
The Power of Collective Energy
One of the most transformative steps you can take is surrounding yourself with people who share your values and are actively working toward their goals. That’s why I created the House of Bold Manifestation, a free online community where we host challenges, masterclasses, and live coaching. When you immerse yourself in a group of like-minded individuals, your energy rises to meet theirs.
You've probably heard the saying, a rising tide lifts all boats. The same applies to collective energy—when you're in a space where people are leveling up, you can’t help but level up too.
Your Next Steps
Now it’s time to take action. Here’s what to do next:
Define your core values. Take the time to identify the five to seven values that truly matter to you.
Assess your alignment. Where are you making choices that don’t match your values? What changes need to happen?
Surround yourself with the right energy. Join our free 14-Day Manifestation Activation Challenge inside the House of Bold Manifestation community. This is where you’ll find support, guidance, and the collective energy to help you create the life you truly desire.
When you align with your values and passions, the universe aligns with you. Everything begins to flow more easily, opportunities appear, and manifestation happens faster. You deserve a life that lights you up—so let’s start creating it together
