Do you externalize your value questions for contemplation

Externalized value can be tricky to recognize. Are there any new realizations you are having about where your value might be externalized? Is there anything that surprises you?

If there was one aspect of externalized value you could change in your life, what would it be? Try to pick something significant, something that would be truly life-altering. We build faith in our ability to make radical transformation by making big changes. Even if you’re afraid it can’t be overcome, what would you like to see change if you could?

What would your life look like if you could make this change? Don’t think about what you wouldn’t experience anymore. Draw a clear description of how your life looks on the other side of this change. Spend time in this process, a few days if you can, drawing as clear a picture as possible. Think of the little things you do throughout the day. How different would your life look?

After spending a few days in contemplation of your new life, look back now and see if there are any areas where you are currently living some version of “internalized” value. Are there any areas in your life now where you see this imagined experience already playing out? When we begin to explore new possibilities they often represent something that is already available to us in our lives. What small ways do you see the opportunity of this new world being available to you?

Spend the rest of your week exploring opportunities to foster any internalized value you might be feeling. If you’re not feeling anything yet or don’t know how to recognize internalized value, don’t panic. We’ll have plenty of time together to explore that question together. In the meantime, write ideas of how you think internalized value might look. Opening your mind to the potential is a great way to begin sparking ideas that you can eventually build into blazing infernos of possibility.
