Hi there everyone,
today I want to introduce you to my new deck
which is The Inner Compass Deck.
This deck helps you to hone in on what your values are.
So those values can act as a north star in your life.
For centuries, people who have navigated the earth
have used the north star
as a way of guiding themselves
in the direction of where it is they're wanting to go,
and in your life,
it is your values that lead you
in the direction of what is right for you,
your own personal north star.
So many people
are not living in alignment with their values.
For example, so many people
really value together family time,
but they're working an 80 hour work week.
Right? Or they're like:
"Oh, I really value personal achievement"
but they're like, giving up all of their goals
for the sake of somebody else's needs.
You cannot live a happy life
you cannot make the right choices for yourself
if you do not know what your values are
and powerfully prioritize according to them.
We have values relative to every sector of our life.
We have values relative to our family life,
we have values relative to friendships
values relative to romantic relationships
values relative to work
values relative to leisure time.
The good news is
in this deck I've got you covered;
Because I have 200 value cards.
Let me show you what they look like...
This is what the cards look like,
that's the back side,
this is what the front side looks like.
So, each one of these cards,
this one is connection,
each one of these cards has the name of the value
and then a short description.
So, for connection,
it's to feel that I'm connected to others,
to be linked or bonded with another,
to have deep meaningful closeness with others,
to feel the sense that nothing is separate from anything else
and that I am not separate or apart from anything else.
Now, for my favorite spread
which is the main spread for this deck,
you've got these four cards:
You've got North,
East,
West and South.
North here, says: "Very important to me",
East is "Important to me",
West is "Somewhat important to me",
and South is "Not important to me".
Now, what you're gonna do
is you're gonna lay them out in front of you
with the very most important to me here,
and then so on and so forth down the row,
and you're gonna take every one of these cards
and you're going to organize them
into a row according to what is most important to you.
So like, let's say that I,
if I see purpose and I realize:
"wait, purpose goes, it's very most important to me"
so I'm gonna put it there, right underneath.
Now, let's say that I draw
something like connection, and I go:
"Oh wait, that's also the very most important to me",
now, I look at:
"Well, where does it go relative to purpose?"
is it more important than purpose, or is it less?"
If it's less, I'm gonna put it like that.
And I'm gonna keep doing this,
"Depth"
depth might be important to me,
but not the very most important to me,
so if that's the case,
let's say this is gonna be aligned right over here,
I'm gonna put this one, underneath here
like that.
And I'm gonna keep doing this with the entire deck
until I have, for each one of these sections,
I have my row of what my values are
and in what priority position.
So I should end up with,
this is like, really important,
for the very most important to me
I should be able to very clearly see
what my top 10 most important and in order, values are.
Doing this spread
makes it so that you can very powerfully prioritize
according to what your values are,
because the thing is,
you are not actually living a happy life
or a life that is worth living
or one that is true to you,
unless you are powerfully prioritizing your life
according to those very top values.
There are so many different ways to use this deck.
Chances are, you're even gonna find
different ways than what I put down to use them,
but I have included in this deck
14 different ways to use this deck.
That will help you clarify
what your values are.
Another one of my favorite ways to use this deck
is with regards to making decisions.
So, let's say that you have to decide between this and this.
What you'll do is you'll look in this deck and find 10 values
that are met
by making this decision,
or are met by making this decision.
So, let's say that I'm like making the decision
between whether to go on a vacation with my friends,
or whether to stay home.
If it's about going on vacation with my friends,
maybe one of the values that gets met, is connection.
Maybe another one of the values that I find that gets met, is purpose.
Maybe another value would be something like fun.
And I'll do that, you know for 10 different values on that side.
Then, I go to the other side.
What would, what values would be met
by staying? by not going on that trip?
Maybe it's focus,
because I know I'm not gonna be as focused
when I'm over here, than when I'm over here.
Maybe it's rest.
Maybe... You see what I mean?
Okay, so you're gonna go and you're gonna do 10 values
for each decision,
and then from there,
you've gotta arrange them according to priority.
So if I'm looking at all these values,
20 values, essentially,
I'm gonna put them in order of priority.
Now, I'm gonna take whatever that top,
especially top two,
but whatever that top priority is
and that's the decision I'm gonna make.
So, if that top priority was focus
and focus meant staying home,
I'm gonna make the decision to stay home.
If that top focus is connection and connection is over here,
I'm gonna go on the trip.
This booklet which is included in this deck
is gonna help you to understand more deeply
what values are
and it's gonna help you to learn how to use this deck.
There will be no questions in your mind.
To help you to find your own personal north star.
Here's the thing,
if you don't know what your values are,
this universe is gonna put you
in all kinds of value clarifying situations,
but I can assure you,
a lot of those value clarifying situations
are not very fun.
So what I'm attempting to do,
aside from line you up in a more powerful way
with what is actually right for you,
is to give you an opportunity to use this deck
to hone in on what your values are,
before the universe has to put you in those value clarifying situations.
Perhaps the hardest part
about defining your values
is being honest about them.
Because we live in a society
and we live in so many cultures and families
where certain values are seen as acceptable, and certain values or not.
But there's no possible way that you're gonna be able to live
a happy life and a life that you really want to live
unless you're powerfully able to admit to those truths.
even the ones, even those values
that you might consider bad or wrong.
Because the thing is, if you value it
you're not gonna be able to unvalue it.
You're gonna have to learn to live in alignment with it
and to release the shame you have around some of these values
that are honestly, the truth for you.
This deck is amazing for personal use.
It's great to have around the house.
But if any of you are therapists,
this is an amazing deck to use with your clients.
The people who are the happiest on this earth
are the people who are doing what they value doing,
who are acting in a way that they value acting.
They are people who understand
exactly what it is that matters most to them in life
and they are prioritizing their life
according to what matters most.
In summation,
what this inner compass deck does
is it makes you aware
of what your actual values are
and in what order.
And it is by knowing this
that you can make the right decisions for you,
that you can go in the right direction
for you,
so you can live your life according to your values
and by doing so,
live the life you have always wanted to live.
