Thanks for taking the time to answer the above questions.

Now scan all of the answers and write down the 3 answers that appear the most. Remember, if you have used different words, but they mean the same thing, group them together.

The most prevalent 3 answers represent the top 3 values that your life is currently displaying.

Now, write a few lines describing how healthy choices and actions will support each of these 3 values. For example, If one of my top values is being a parent, I may write the following:

“Improving my metabolic health by choosing to eat a low carb diet and strength training will improve my energy, and mental clarity, which will support my value of being a good Father. I will also be a better role model for my children when they see that I am prioritising regular exercise and healthier eating habits.”

Write these affirmations in your journal, and for more impact, share them with people. For added motivation you can also write them out and place them somewhere visible in your home.
