1
So why do we even care about values?
2
You got goals and New Year's resolutions and other things you're just not going to stay with.
3
And that's exactly the point.
4
You might be very good at goal setting, coming up with the perfect plan, knowing what you want to eat and how you want to exercise
5
and what your morning routine looks like and your evening routine and everything in between.
6
But if understanding the plan was enough to do it, your life would look very different.
7
You probably wouldn't be watching this video right now.
8
Now, goals are great.
9
I have lots of goals that I'm moving towards every single day.
10
But the cool thing about values is values are more like a journey or a North Star.
11
They're something to continuously aspire to, continuously correct to.
12
Goals, you check off.
13
Go to the gym three times per day.
14
Oh, that's a lot.
15
Go to the gym three times per week.
16
check
17
but you wouldn't say move towards being strong did it done
18
crossed it off never have to do it again you might say call one friend every day check
19
but if your value is to connect with loved ones to listen
20
and be present for them you wouldn't just be like ha did it now i can ignore their phone calls.
21
If we think of values as our true north, as the who and the what that we want to move towards, as the qualities or characteristics that we possess,
22
the cool thing is, is if life throws us some curve balls,
23
which it always does, and the goals that we once had maybe aren't accessible or aren't accessible in the same way, if we have a clear idea of what our overarching values are,
24
then you can always get back on track.
25
Think about it like a road trip.
26
You know, maybe Maybe you're headed up to Yellowstone
27
because you've been watching that TV show a lot
28
and you know where you want to be going
29
and there's like this one highway that takes you there
30
and you're like zipping along on it going 80 because apparently they let you go that fast here.
31
But then there's construction.
32
You see all those little yellow cones, the traffic starts creeping up, you're wondering like what is this LA,
33
what's happening here, and I don't know there's a bunch of bears on the highway.
34
You don't just go like, oh, I guess I can't go to Montana.
35
No, you might pull over, you might pause, you might stop for a moment, get more information.
36
Maybe there's a side road that you can take, the scenic drive.
37
And the road's a little bit bumpier and it takes a little bit longer.
38
But if you have in mind what you want to be moving towards, what you want to see at the end of the day, who you want to be at the end of your life,
39
you can correct that.
40
Like I said, values are the who and the what that matter to us.
41
There are why, why we're doing life, why we're getting up every morning.
42
They're the qualities or characteristics that we want to identify with, that we want to be known for.
43
Now, values can change over your lifetime.
44
We move through different phases.
45
When you are maybe in college and you're single and you don't have any children, the things that are important to you,
46
the things that you want to be focused on might be different than
47
when you're married with kids or when you're trying to build a business or start a creative career.
48
And the things that are important to you might be different later in life.
49
So we don't just set our values once and say that's it.
50
We do want to be checking in with them maybe once a year, every couple months, just make sure we're still on the right track on the true north
51
that we want to be headed towards.
52
So how do we go about identifying our values?
53
We can draw from a lot of different inspirations, our cultures, our faith, our traditions,
54
our family practices, all of these things can give us an understanding of what is important to us.
55
Either because we really resonate with it or because of maybe some bad
56
or unpleasant experiences we've had that have made us realize like, I really want to be this, not that.
57
Or I've really been craving this, this has been missing in my life and I want to move towards that.
58
A good place to start can be identifying who and what are important to you.
59
The people in your life, the types of relationships that are in your life.
60
So for example, if being in a romantic relationship is really important to you, but you're not in a relationship right now, that can still be a value,
61
still be something that you're moving towards. And what?
62
Hobbies, things that you're doing in your spare time, your career, if that's something that's important to you.
63
And then from there, we want to understand what the characteristics of this are.
64
If we name family members or a partner or friends, the next question might be to ask yourself,
65
what type of person do I want to be in this type of relationship?
66
How do I want to show up to the moment?
67
Now, remember, it's not like I want them to be respectful to me towards me.
68
I want them to be someone I can trust.
69
We can't control other people.
70
So it's really thinking about like, how do I want to show up to a moment or to a relationship?
71
Similarly, if you look at something like a career or a hobby
72
that might give you an indication of like what about this is important to me.
73
For some people, a career might be an opportunity for creativity or innovation or being challenged.
74
For another person, it might be a source of financial stability.
75
Another, it might be a way to help others.
76
And there's no right or wrong answer here.
77
And we can come up with an idea and then ask ourselves that question a couple of times.
78
Why does this matter?
79
What is important to me about this?
80
How do I want to show up to this moment?
81
In terms of qualities or characteristics, you might ask yourself, if I were to ask my loved ones,
82
my co-workers, my employees to describe me, what would I want them to say about who I am?
83
How they see me?
84
Not what they would say, but what would you hope that they say about who you are?
85
It might give you an understanding where your values lie.
86
And then you can put this into practice.
87
Different moments throughout your day just kind of pause and ask yourself, if I could take one small step towards something that's important to me, what would that be?
88
Maybe it's sending a text message to your best friend, taking your dog for a walk, going to the grocery store.
89
It doesn't have to be profound and life changing.
90
Living a meaningful life is a series of small steps.
91
And now this doesn't mean that if you live a life according to your values
92
that life is always wonderful and beautiful and joyful
93
quite the opposite in fact when we come in contact with the things
94
that are important to us the type of person we want to be the type of life
95
that we want to have more pain is there more fear more stress more anxiety
96
because we could lose this we could be disappointed with it
97
we could be heartbroken we could be hurt by it
98
so i can't guarantee you a happy life as fleeting as
99
that emotion may be but I can say that
100
if you work to identify what's important to you
101
and start practicing taking steps towards it you can show up as yourself
102
and the person that you want to be
103
and I think that's pretty special now it's not as easy as just flipping a switch
104
and deciding I'm gonna move towards my values
105
because there's a lot of painful thoughts and memories and sensations
106
and feelings that show up and make it difficult to move towards the things that matter to us.
107
So check out my next video on diffusion, a totally made-up word that can have a big impact on your life.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
