realizing it’s all Hashem and no person or thing has any power but Him.

Here are mine:
My relationship with Hashem
My relationships with people
Integrity/strong moral compass
Courage to show up for what's right

I'm just struggling with trying to figure out how to incorporate my values into my daily life (mostly the last 3; the first I have concretized)

To be an ethical, moral person.

To be the best mother, daughter, wife, sister, friend etc that I can be.

To give as much tzedakah and do as much chesed as possible.

And of course, all this while taking care of me.

To what Hashem wants from me.
To be here for My Husband
To be here for My kids

I obviously put my kids sometimes before my husband and at one point I thought I don't do enough for Hashem( Like I don't daven enough, or do special things etc.). Until I realized that every tiny thing I do for my family, laundry, changing diapers, breakfast, cleaning etc. is what Hashem wants me to do. And I'm doing His will!!! Same with DH. Working on your love and peace in your marriage is what Hashem wants.
But, now I need to focus more to be here for DH before the kids which is a constant struggle with little kids.....

Being a good mother to my children.

Relationship with Hashem, even when it’s really hard, like now.

Having integrity in everything I do, even if it’s not pretty or convenient.

Accomplishing a few more important projects eventually, which are on indefinite hold for now.

These are the goals. Not sure how I’m doing with them.

To be the best I can be physically, emotionally, mentally, professionally.

I value being healthy and cooking healthy meals for my family. I value feeling energized and strong and exercising.

I value being a present mother who listens to her kids with no distractions and spends quality time with each of them.

I work hard on having a positive attitude through a lot of mental hard work, practicing gratitude, doing inner work, reading up on mindset and psychology, listening to inspirational podcasts.

At work I am always trying to grow in my career, do extra training or reading to learn more in my field. I set goals for where I want to be in 5 years, 10 years and have a career plan.

Something I try very hard to model for my kids is doing things with enthusiasm, having a strong passion for yiddishkeit. Even if it's something I find difficult, or blah, when my kids talk about it I try to be enthusiastic and encouraging in my response. (Unless its a school/social thing and not a yiddishkeit thing, then I explain that sometimes people do different things).

Disclaimer: My kids are still young, but I hope to be able to give over a hislehavus and simcha forever.
