Personal Values and Behavior

Knowing your personal values changes your behavior.

For instance: When you value health, you don’t have to wrestle with managing impulse control as much. If you know a particular food or activity isn’t good for your body, you don’t want it.

Create meaningful core values

Start with a beginner’s mind, someone with no preconceived notions of what is.
Create your list of personal values.
Chunk your personal values into related groups.
Highlight the central theme of each value group.
Determine your top Personal Core Values. Whittle your list down to 5 - 10 core values and rank them in order of importance.
Give your personal values richer context. Highlight values into memorable phrases or sentences.
Test the ecology of each value. Review your list a day later: Are they personal to you? Do you see any values that feel inconsistent?
