As you navigate a new year full of new potentially challenging decisions, your values can act as your compass, providing a north star.\r\n \r\nThere are many benefits to animating your values in daily life. Keeping them top of mind helps align your actions with your values. This sense of living authentically results in an inner peace - and walking your talk will resonate with others. In other words, your consistency and authenticity breeds trust with others.\r\n \r\nJerry shares exercises that help others identify their values as well as how to live them through actions each day.\r\n \r\nTo Your Own Values Be True\r\n[13:03] \u201cAbout the typical approach that\u2019s used \u2026 what happens sometimes with circling [from a list of values] is that we end up circling things that look alluring or look like we should circle them. And then we end up lugging this value around, ultimately judging ourselves for not living up to it or not activating in a way that we thought was appropriate.\u201d\r\n \r\nRather than choosing values from a list, reveal them from your own lived experiences.\r\n \r\nLook Through the Lens of Your Values\r\n[24:53] \u201cI still use this practice. On a weekly basis, I sit down, and I look at the week ahead. And I think about, not just the intellectual organization of what's going on, but I look at it through the lens of my values. And I asked the question, how, how are you going to activate these values next week?\u201d\r\n \r\nPledge to find opportunities to incorporate your values in your life and work. Let them guide you day-to-day.\r\n \r\nUse Your Values as Fuel\r\n[39:52] \u201cIt goes back to that idea of a value only matters if it is turned into action at T minus zero, the moment of impact, right? That if that doesn't turn into behavior, or turn into a decision or turn into action, it's meaningless\u2026I see people speak to their faith. I am in no way suggesting that that shouldn't be a value. The problem is when we leave it at faith. Well, what does that really mean? And what does that look like when you're applying that value?\u201d\r\n \r\nValues have the potential to shape our actions and create meaningful impact.\r\n \r\nResources mentioned in this episode:\r\nhttps://www.billgeorge.org/true-north/\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Discover-Your-True-North-Fieldbook/dp/111910355X\r\n \r\nConnect with Jerry Magar:\r\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jerrymagar/\r\nhttps://jerrymagar.com/","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/194bb553-a1b3-4c92-9ba8-e10ae50ced61/yiOX-Yo5WVyifYsgmABbPXyQ.jpg"}
