Pen a Mission Statement
/
Our Employee Wellness Program recently launched an employee wellness challenge called “Renew.” While the registration has closed, you can still benefit from these wellness micro-learnings and activities. Check back often for activities to help you create calm, boost happiness, sharpen focus and increase energy.
Today’s lesson is on personal mission statements.
Write a summary of your values, goals, and priorities.
Your personal mission statement is a roadmap for your life… a plan for where you want to go and how to get there. Over time, you may begin wandering off course, but consulting a summary of your values and goals can get you back on track. Going through this process will help you identify and stick to your core priorities. Start by responding with self-honesty to these prompts:
What do you want out of life? Identify your values and what is most important to you.
What are you here to achieve? Think about how you can contribute to the world through your community, friends, family, and work.
What is your purpose? Consider both short- and long-term goals here.
Take some time to deeply contemplate your answers — there’s no rush to get it “right.” Distill your thoughts into a page or less, focusing on your top priorities in a clear mission statement. Return often to this compass for your life’s journey, when making decisions or seeking fresh motivation, and refresh/revise as needed.
