105. Using values as a life compass

Welcome to Episode 105 – Using values as a life compass   The Christmas and New Years period often brings up a bunch of “what am I doing with my life?” style questions. You’ve been through a year of hell, or a year of the same old, same old… and you’re yearning for change. But where do you start?    This week I give you an insight into a powerful mindfulness tool called – values. Values serve to connect us with our true and authentic selves. They can also be used to make difficult decisions, such as changing career, entering into a new relationship or even tackling your finances once and for all.    This week I’ll go through some core values and how they can be applied to your daily life. I’ll also guide you through how you can discover your own core values, and leave you inspired to turn off the auto-pilot, and switch on conscious living!    In this episode, I share: Why values are important – particularly during the holiday season The benefits of values-based work How I used values to stop drinking alcohol 3 big values – trust, honesty and respect Some values you probably haven’t thought about before How to discover your core values 3 things to remember about values How to use your values as a life compass   Key Quotes:   “It's about using our values to guide and direct us to make better decisions, to do the things that we want, to be that authentic self and to essentially reach for the stars”   “And if you want to be free, you kind of need to take responsibility. And so values based work helps us do this”   “do something small every day. That's how you use them as your life compass”   Buy the values cards here: https://www.actmindfully.com.au/product-category/values-cards/ Connect with Mindful Men Website at www.mindful-men.com.au Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2050441875316594 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindful.men.aus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindful.men.aus/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-rinne-246207247/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mindful.men.aus Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbXBNQmbj4ZQj3rzFAZALTA   ***If anything triggers you from today's episode, please reach out to your support networks or seek professional help***   Stay Mindful, Simon
