We\u2019ve all been there, right? We see post after post on social media telling us to live life according to our values \u2013 that our lives will be richer when we learn how to do it. I\u2019ve seen hundreds in my time as an advocate. There is one thing that\u2019s normally missing, though, and that\u2019s the information that tells you what living life according to our values actually means and how to practice it. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
The vast majority of people aren\u2019t sure how to live life according to their values so how are we, a group of people who\u2019ve spent so much of our lives in our head, even supposed to start!?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
If this is you, don’t fear! That\u2019s exactly what this blog is about. We\u2019ll talk about values-based living, how to find our values, how to find time to do activities that meet them, and if it still proves tough, I\u2019ve provided some opportunities to practice to help you work all of this out in small, manageable steps. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Every single one of us has a set of values, these are behaviours, beliefs, and attitudes that we hold above all others. We use them to inform our decision-making, and when we achieve something in line with our values, we often feel a great sense of accomplishment. Some values stay the same throughout our lifetimes, others change as we enter different life stages or according to life experience. And this is completely normal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Here’s a list of some pretty typical values: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Loyalty, Compassion, Honesty, Kindness, Integrity, Determination, Courage, Trustworthiness, Empathy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Many of us share a core group of values, and outside of that, there’s a wider range of values that may be more specific to the individual. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
