How to Name What Matters
We can learn a lot from nature. The seasons ebb and flow and there is always an undercurrent of rest and renewal. The leaves change, temperatures shift, flowers bloom, and we can witness the purpose of each season. In our own life, it’s important to pause and reflect so we can live with purpose, on purpose. We do this by naming what matters so we gain clarity, meaning and fulfillment in our current season of life. Here are some ways to determine what matters to you:
Embrace the Journey of Self-Discovery
The first step in naming what matters most is to ask yourself, what makes you feel alive? Motherhood often shifts our focus from ourselves to our children. Take some time reconnecting with yourself by journaling about your passions, values and dreams and how you can engage in them in your current season.
Identify Your Top Priorities
With a deeper understanding of yourself, you can identify your priorities. As a mom, your priorities may naturally revolve around your family but don’t exclude your own desires. Instead, reflect on what’s most important to both you and your family in this season. Is it building your career, creating a stronger family culture, supporting your health, or reconnecting with your spouse? Identifying your priorities allows you to align your actions with what matters most to you.
Name Your Core Values
Values act as guiding principles that shape our decisions and behaviors. Take some time to explore and articulate your core values related to your family, career, relationships, and health. Consider what virtues are most important to you—honesty, compassion, growth, authenticity, connection, etc. When you get clear on your values, you begin to make more purposeful decisions and invest your energy into things that truly matter.
Naming what matters most in your season of life is a powerful practice that helps you find purpose, fulfillment, and balance. Taking small steps to identify your passions, priorities, and values will help align your daily decisions, build a strong foundation for your family, and give you the confidence to live each day intentionally.
