Isn’t it amazing how from time to time we all get caught up in life and wander away from what matters most? Thankfully, for those who stop to reflect and question our very existence or are prompted by cues to just slow down and reconnect to our core values, the future is promising. Thank you for sharing straight from the heart. Something tells me that you are a very conscientious person with a generous and loving heart. Fondest wishes Rani Hi Grace,

Some 25 years ago I began to refocus my priorities in life, (now coming up to mid 60s)however, I tended to set my intentions mainly in terms of goals to be reached and achieved. Not being very conscious at the time, I wasn't always aware of when these goals were out of alignment with my fundamental values. I achieved most of those goals but with some regrets along the way. Subsequently I became aware of this through a Tony Robbins seminar; the need to be conscious of our fundamental values so that they are central to our DBH. The process you have outlined is very useful for refocusing, and in fact I have found it so useful that I did take the time to do it again. It can always bear repeating at different life stages. I saw the film "The Bucket List" and it reminded me firstly, of the need to keep up with our unlived Dreams... (I went off to Machu Pichu, which I had kept putting off), and secondly, the need to have some fun and enjoy being in this lovely awesome world. Most of us agree that our relationships with ourselves and our loved ones are priority, especially our children, but one regret that I have is that I wasn't able to role model for my children how to have fun and be adventurous. I hope I shall make up for that with my grand daughter. I am being a conscious grandmother! I keep myself on track by keeping a journal, and doing exercises like the one you have so clearly set out, and thoroughly recommend it to anyone who has not tried it. I am fortunate that my husband is a Life Coach and we have a "Business" meeting every week, which includes our personal lives and stated goals around our core values. We actually see it as part of a conscious marriage to support each other in becoming all we may be, in the fullest sense. Many thanks again :) Thanks for that Rani.
