Your Foundational Core Value is... Curiosity
Ah! The old famed, thirst for knowledge. You are that feeling personified friend. You are driven by a need to know, to understand, to inquire. You probably came out of the womb asking "why" and "how". Life for you, is a mystery that is meant to be understood - and yet you know that you will never fully comprehend it. And that is what makes it magical. The eternal learner and teacher. You know that there is no such thing as right or wrong, there are a million possible answers. When you start to feel out of alignment, dive in to learning something new or perhaps teaching someone something. Pick up a book, listen to a podcast, take an online course.““I think, at a child's birth”, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity. – Eleanor Roosevelt Ok cool, but now what? Read on to learn how to use this knowledge to guide your choices! 1. Use this information to gain clarity when you are feeling indecisive. Is this experience going to teach me something new? How can I use this information to teach someone something new? If it is in alignment with satisfying or piquing your curiosity, it will always lead you down the right path. 2. Connect to the body. Learn what "curiosity" feels like in your body. If this is a core value for you, chances are the somatic response is strong. Take 5 minutes to slow your breath and come back into your body. Bring to mind a memory of a time you felt free to ask questions, steeped in the energy of learning and teaching. Notice the sensations in your body - a frisson of excitement? release into breath? a desire to lean in? What color is it? Take note of these sensations and use the information. Think of this as your full body "Hell Yes" even when the mind says no. Memorize the feeling. 3. Trust yourself. A key sign that you are out of alignment is when you are feeling bored. New information is your lifeblood. Anytime this signature comes up, take it as a push towards more learning.
