Episode notes
Understanding and clarifying our personal values is essential for setting realistic goals and living a meaningful life.
🗣️ Setting realistic goals and having confidence in goal setting are important, as our values are personal and difficult to change.
🤔 Our values are subjective and can cause conflict, but they also form the foundation of the big picture of our lives, made up of our thoughts and mental images.
🔑 Getting clear on your values is important for understanding your behavior and avoiding unclear judgments and values expressed through "shoulds" and "musts."
📅 Our values evolve and are influenced by our upbringing, with children mirroring their parents' values, shaping the world we live in.
🗣️ Our values may differ from our parents' values, reflecting who we are and what we care about in the world.
🎨 Our values are the truest reflection of who we are and exist to paint a picture of us for other people.
📌 People are less committed to their personal beliefs and attributes than they think, including political beliefs, cultural traditions, and hobbies.
📝 Plan your perfect day to determine your values and standards for living well, and prioritize activities that have value and meaning.
🌟 Define your perfect day to set the standards for living life well, as it represents your values and criteria for a fulfilling life.
