How To Reinvent Yourself
- Bring value failure: values are based on experience and often hard to alter with external emotional pressure or reason. Whether it’s by taking a value to its logical conclusion or confronting it with real world experiences, empathetically exposing someone to enough experiences contrary to their values is the best way to change them.
- Be self-aware: losing a value feels like we’re losing part of ourselves as they constitute our identity. So, instead of seeing it as unsuitable and adapting, the uncritical resist with rationalizations and denial, aggravating the issue.
- Replace values: replacing low-level, material values, with higher-level, abstract values will yield better problems and give you more control over life. For example: If making money is a primary value, then you’ll always seek it. But if personal freedom is a primary value, the value of money reduces as you accumulate it.
- Live the new value: embodying the new value solidifies it, as experience is its support. Determination is necessary to face our natural resistance to change and live a life contrary to our old values.
- Benefit from the new value: it feels good to put the effort into living new values. As the issues from inadequate values cease to affect you and you understand yourself better, it gets easier to continue living the new value.
