In this lesson, we will explore the importance of identifying your core values and strengths in the process of understanding your emotional intelligence. Core values are the fundamental beliefs that guide your behavior and decisions, while strengths are the qualities that energize you and help you perform at your best. By understanding and recognizing these aspects of yourself, you can enhance your self-awareness and build a solid foundation for personal growth and healing.

One way to identify your core values is to reflect on what is truly important to you in life. Consider what principles you want to live by and what gives your life meaning and purpose. Strengths can be uncovered by recognizing what activities make you feel strong, energized, and fulfilled. By taking the time to explore and embrace your core values and strengths, you can align your actions with your authentic self and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

See attached Core Values worksheet. When you understand what your core values are, then you can start an action plan to endorse and support them. You also know how to handle your emotions when your core values are pushed, ignored or violated.
