Wisdom for Caring Well—Body, Mind, and Spirit

Every January, millions of people make resolutions with the hope of creating a “new” version of themselves. But research and lived experience show that most resolutions fade by February — not because people don’t care, but because resolutions are built on pressure, not purpose. At Functional Pharmacy, we invite you to step into a much more sustainable approach to personal and health transformation:


Realign with your core values instead of creating another resolution.

Values aren’t about willpower.
They’re about identity — who you are when you’re at your best.

 

A values worksheet is a powerful tool for learning how to live into your values rather than chase temporary goals.

And when it comes to your health, this shift changes everything.

 

 

Why Values-Based Living Outperforms Resolutions

 

Resolutions focus on what you want to do.

Values focus on who you want to be.

 

A resolution says:
“I want to lose weight.”

 

A value says:
“I honor my health — and my choices reflect that.”

 

Resolutions rely on motivation.
Values rely on alignment.


And alignment lasts longer than motivation ever could.

 

 

How the Values Worksheet Supports Sustainable Change

 

The worksheet guides you through several deep-reflection questions such as:

  • Does this define me?
  • Is this who I am at my best?
  • Is this a filter I use for hard decisions?

 

Then it walks you through identifying real-life behaviors that show when you're aligned or misaligned with your values.

 

This clarity helps you recognize:

  • what energizes you
  • what drains you
  • what feels true
  • what feels forced
  • what helps your health
  • what harms your health

 

And that self-awareness — not the date on the calendar — becomes the foundation for lasting transformation.

Why Values-Based Work Is Powerful for Your Health

 

When you’re aligned with your values, you naturally choose actions that:

  • reduce stress
  • improve relationships
  • support long-term wellbeing
  • honor boundaries
  • increase energy
  • reinforce identity
  • bring meaning and purpose

 

Living your values shapes your health more profoundly than any once-a-year goal ever could.
