Try Values-Based Goals for Your New Year
Ready to Move Your Life to the Next Level and actually achieve your goals?
This time of year many of us start thinking about goals. The New Year can be an ideal time to rethink the direction of our lives.
Setting goals at this time of year can be traditional, and we can just keep picking the same couple of goals we have had for the last few (many?) years.
The most common being: Lose weight, Exercise more, Quit Smoking, Eat Healthier.
Why not pick some goals that reflect your values this year instead?
Why values based goals?
Values are the individual beliefs that people hold and the things that people deeply feel are important in their lives. These beliefs are the underlying motivations for how people act and behave. We can also define values as the preferences in your life. We create them throughout our lives, starting in early childhood.
Values vary between individuals, but there are common and shared values that occur within a family, culture, group or country. One example of a shared value is ‘patriotism’ common within a country. Many family members share similar values because of their upbringing.
