I felt the same about losing confidence since becoming a Mum. I relied too much on what everyone else thought was best for my family and not on what I thought myself. I have been listening to my own inner voice again since last year. I have found I am strong and the decisions I make are happy ones for my family. You can do this and the more you do the stronger you will get and your confidence will come back as well. <br /><br />I am taking part in Deb's wonderful challenge too, so will pop in on you again. I enjoyed your post. Hope you are having a lovely day.<br /><br />Cheers, DebDebhttp://www.aclotheslineoutheback.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067692377011156592.post-31954820965250591632012-01-22T08:59:47.993+11:002012-01-22T08:59:47.993+11:00It's interesting how you've listed values ...It's interesting how you've listed values for things you want to prioritise and work towards amidst values you feel are current ones. It's been a challenge putting my list together and I'm in the final refining stages. I never included that line of thinking in my process. I might go back and think about that.Veronica @ Mixed Gemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012569571281223678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067692377011156592.post-91505085223641904922012-01-21T21:43:27.964+11:002012-01-21T21:43:27.964+11:00Hi Sannah, I've justed started reading the #sy...Hi Sannah, I've justed started reading the #syl12 posts, what a great idea.

I somehow left courage and integrity off my list. I had freedom - which I think encompasses authenticity. I have done a bit of work on mindfulness too and it is great to refresh the memory on this stuff and see what has changed.<br /><br />PS Can't believe that I am not a "follower" I am sure that I get your RSS feeds.

I think the first line you mentioned that resonated with me is : " If you aren't clear on what your values are, then it is virtually impossible to align your goals and decision making with your values. " That is so true and indeed such a great way to morph your values and your goals and decisions :) thank you.Npamzhttp://www.nurturingprogressnotperfection.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067692377011156592.post-89426991830905534762012-01-17T22:38:40.146+11:002012-01-17T22:38:40.146+11:00Fantastic list and I also really liked the way you...Fantastic list and I also really liked the way you spoke about each value and why it was important to you. Some of my values are similar to yours. <br /><br />I also liked your about me section {this is my first time to your blog and I came via Deb`s SYL challenge}- eloping to samoa, homeschooling your children {and using steiner method} and your education history it was easy to see from that as well why your values were listed as they are!

Remember these are just top5 to give us focus as we move through the year - it does not mean other things are not important to you. For some people trying to focus on a lot of things leads to getting off course etc but if we want to make changes or heighten certain areas it helps to keep the discuss on syl in focus (but on your own in regular life it is normal to have others - my "extras' are reflected in my mission statement which you will see on Thursday.Deb @ home life simplifiedhttp://www.homelifesimplified.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067692377011156592.post-11044754777358160422012-01-16T21:40:08.887+11:002012-01-16T21:40:08.887+11:00I'm really enjoying what others are writing ab...I'm really enjoying what others are writing about their values. Family and authenticity are up there for me as well. I've been a people-pleaser in the past, and it sucked me dry. Courage is actually one of the words I've chosen to focus on this year. It's sad that we lose confidence in some areas when we become a mother (I've been there and am getting mine back!)

In the end I read about three and decided I better go and do mine! I'm not sure that I'm naturally driven by my values, which is why I think it is important for me to clarify them so that I can refer to them when I make decisions. <br />Look forward to reading yours when you do it!<br />x SannahSannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802344259857914538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067692377011156592.post-32608928191329960552012-01-16T19:07:50.964+11:002012-01-16T19:07:50.964+11:00It's interesting seeing other people's val...It's interesting seeing other people's values and seeing that something they have didn't make it onto your list, even though it is really important to you, isn't it? <br />I kept telling myself while I was writing this, it isn't forever, these are just my values at this particular moment in time, I can change, and so can my values; and even if I don't list something, it doesn't mean it isn't important to me. <br />I really need to try and see if I have kept the one I did before and see how much it changed :)<br />x SannahSannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802344259857914538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067692377011156592.post-84692480566709673652012-01-16T19:05:17.496+11:002012-01-16T19:05:17.496+11:00It was a hard task wasn't it?

Not quite sure, but hopefully my explanation explains where I am coming from :)<br />There is a really big part of me that cares what people think, in fact it is the overwhelming part of me. It is definitely something I want to work on. <br />Look forward to continuing the journey with you this year.<br />x SannahSannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802344259857914538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067692377011156592.post-73607628108458193372012-01-16T17:23:34.061+11:002012-01-16T17:23:34.061+11:00Hey Gemma,

After reading your list, I am now kind of wondering how family didn't make it into my list at all! I know I'm trying to work out a place for myself in this new world of wife and motherhood and it feels sometimes like family is omnipresent and so didn't need to be on it. Maybe. It was a great exercise anyway. I'm really interested to hear that you did it a while ago and can look back on it - I am looking forward to that in a few years too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067692377011156592.post-28684942193781167512012-01-16T09:46:26.154+11:002012-01-16T09:46:26.154+11:00Hi Sannah!

I think a lot of people can relate to doing or saying things based on what they think other people will think of them, I know I certainly do. As much as some people say "I don't care what anyone thinks", I think there is a part of them that really does. I look forward to following you throughout this year :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719766275985892863noreply@blogger.com
