One of the biggest signs of true recovery is when someone takes full accountability for their life and gains deep confidence in their choices. πͺ But how do you get there? It starts with knowing your values and building your life around them.
π Why Assessing Your Values Matters
Values are like your personal compass π§ β guiding your decisions and behaviors every day. But saying βmy value is healthβ isnβt enough. You need to dig deeper and ask, βWhat do I gain from valuing health?β
For example, valuing health can give you:
β
More energy
β
Better mood & mental clarity
β
Increased self-confidence
Understanding the why helps fuel your motivation to make lasting changes.
π° The Values Pyramid: Vision, Goals & Plans
Imagine your values as a pyramid. Each level helps you get closer to living your most authentic self:
Vision (Top) β Your big-picture dream, like βI want to live a healthy, energized life.β π
Goals (Middle) β Habits you want to increase or decrease. For health:
Increase fruits & veggies π₯¦π
Decrease junk food ππ«
Plans (Bottom) β Specific actions you can take daily:
Eat 4-5 servings of fruits/vegetables every day π₯
Exercise 30 minutes, 5 times a week πββοΈ
Breaking it down this way turns vague ideas into clear steps β boosting your confidence to take action!
