Self-Synchrony: A Visual Approach
The art of aligning with your own values
What is “Self-Synchrony”?
Briefly — that feeling you have when:
- Decisions seem obvious
- Actions seem natural
- Life seems to flow rather than flounder
I can’t tell you how to get there — everyone has their own path. But I can offer a visual aid that I thought of one day, and have sometimes gone back to when feeling disconnected from myself.
The picture above seems to speak for itself, but just in case not . . . I’ve provided a few words:
If any of that strikes a chord, you might find this worksheet useful:
Brief explanation:
Some of your personal traits may align naturally with your core values — but some may not. So use the left side of the worksheet to consider how your tendencies and choices support (or don’t) self-synchrony.
Core values are not static, and may shift in a positive or negative direction over time. So use the right side of the worksheet to reflect on influences (such as life events and relationships) that may be affecting your self-alignment.
Hope this comes in handy!
