Why it’s important to have value based goals and to take value based actions


When making goals and taking actions towards our goals, it’s important to consider our “value based goals/actions” rather than just simply “generic goals/actions”. Why?

Value based goals and actions are linked to our inner values, feelings, and principles and hence, are more emotive, meaningful, and purposeful. If they are more emotive, meaningful, and purposeful, then they may be more sustainable.

If we have strong values around family and connection, then explore goals and activities around that. If we have strong values around creativity and beauty, then maybe some goals and activities around that. For some If us, it might be values around productivity and helpfulness, so explore around that.

Values are hard for many us to define, and getting clarity around this first will be very helpful.
