Put simply, it's expressing your values in the way you want to live. You probably already have an idea of what your life \u003ci\u003eshould\u003c\/i\u003e look like: what you do for a living, the relationships you have, the impact you make on those around you, how faith and spirituality factor into your life, and so on. Like most of us, you probably have difficulty making time for everything--after all, there are only 168 hours in a week. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaybe you've let your work overshadow your family life because you feel the only way to succeed is to be in constant motion. You might promise yourself to make your health a top priority, but you never seem to have the time to follow through. You're not alone. Most people feel like they're always rushing to get things done. A hectic, unbalanced life can leave anyone feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. Yes, you're busy, but are you making progress? Or, are you moving too fast to notice that your decisions aren't in alignment with your values? The only way to pursue a values-based life is by becoming more self-aware: knowing what your values are and understanding how and where you spend your time. \u003ci\u003eYour 168\u003c\/i\u003e shows you that pursuing a values-based life leads to purpose and satisfaction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemands, distractions, and challenges will always be there, no matter how dedicated you are to pursuing a values-based life. With the help of this book, you'll be able to identify the specific areas where all of your time, effort, and attention are spent--your \u003ci\u003elife buckets\u003c\/i\u003e--and reallocate them to reflect your priorities, choices, and unique circumstances. You will first learn about the foundation of a values- based life: \u003ci\u003eself-reflection\u003c\/i\u003e. The more self-reflective you are, the easier it is to make choices that are rooted in your values, and the more self-aware you'll become. You will then begin to build new habits, plan and reprioritize, and determine how to control the demands on your time so your life aligns with your values. After exploring the essential life buckets and how people devote their time and energy to each, you'll be ready to put the \u003ci\u003eBalancing Action Plan\u003c\/i\u003e into place and move your values-based journey to its next phase. Balancing your life is a work in progress, and you'll need to commit to continually refining yourself and becoming increasingly self-aware. \u003ci\u003eYour 168\u003c\/i\u003e will help you get there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for YOUR 168\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eYour 168\u003c\/i\u003e will help you keep focused on what really matters in life.
