       1   . If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it's likely you will burn out,

or feel upset. When you take and take without giving back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always

searching for ways to fill the void in your life.

     The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values.

I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values.    2    I suggest to my clients that they

choose three being values that are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values

are:kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give

to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these

character traits becomes your life purpose. 

       3   . These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is

what yu receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and

conditions in your life.

     When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices

rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think

and act like a calm person.    4   . If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible

or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be-this is the key to personal

power.

     When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen

beliefs.    5   .

F. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding.

G. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people

    think of you.
