Because my view of the values I hold dear is wrapped up in stories. Am keenly aware that what I hold to be my values are too often falsehoods, values I lay claim to but which I actually only want to have.
Until I get clarity on what are really & truly the values of my happy self, will write under "wrapped in stories" rather than "my 3rd act."
See, seems to me there's a heap of difference between something that IS a value & something I'd like to have as one. Still, the question does ask, "What are the values of your happy self?" not the more general, less defined, waiting to be sentimentalized & overstated, "What are your values?" Makes it a tad easier to zero in on what IS rather than what is merely hoped for.
Hmmm... To focus on what are the true values of my HAPPY self, I should get into my heart to find the wordless response that bypasses distracting, downright deceptive verbage:
1) take a deep breath - close my eyes - take another deep breath
2) drop my awareness into my heart center, focusing attention in the area of my physical heart
3) focus on creating an all-loving, all-nurturing, all-accepting, open environment there, in that place, as if I have an innocent cradled against my chest
4) place that palm of my hand over my chest, feeling my heartbeat.
5) drop into the heartbeat, as I ask - What are the values of my happy self?
