You did everything right. You rejected hustle culture and prioritized self-care.

You gained more control over your day and life is pretty sweet.

You should feel balanced and aligned.

🫤 But something still feels off.

Sometimes it’s subtle. Other times it’s a wave of guilt-frustration-resentment when you have to choose between your priorities.

Why do I still struggle with choosing between meeting a deadline and meeting my kid after school?

Because it was never about controlling your time.

You changed how you spend your time, but you didn’t change how you think about your time.

Our actions are influenced by our thoughts. How we think about any particular thing is based on our beliefs.

And our beliefs stem from our values. So let’s start there.

⚖️ How to feel more aligned

People who strive to be better naturally want to be aligned with their values.

But if you’re like most people, you struggle with naming your values.
