The Importance of Connecting With Your Core Values

values are pivotal to the act model. They provide guidance that they're often described as a compass. So they're like an inner guide for your actions and your behavior. You know, they're like a source of energy. If I've got to do the hard work of actually making this relationship meaningful, fulfilling, satisfying, what's my motivation? And just being able to tune into those core values around loving and caring and connecting often gives us some ideas. We want to use our values to inspire the goals that we set for ourselves. At the same time, we need to be realistic. No way we'll achieve all of them.
