Personal Values: What are they and where do they come from? Ep. 21

March 12, 2024 Flourishing Flame: From Burning Out to Burning Bright Ep. 21: Personal Values: What are they and where do they come from? Where do our personal values come from? How do they help us understand ourselves and others? What are personal values? How are they connected to our experiences? In this episode Leah will discuss some of the factors that help (or hurt) the formation of our values, including communities, generational differences, and even our historical moment. This can have a major impact on how we evaluate stories from other cultures and times, and even how we see our own story. Not all values are received equally. Some we absorb and internalize completely. Others we hold only loosely, as guidelines. Still others may be rejected outright, or over time as we learn and grow and change. Some may be a reaction toward the values of others (for example, a person who grew up in a cluttered home might embrace minimalism). When we understand our own values, we can learn to live in line with them and have a greater sense of purpose, peace, and fulfillment. We can also better understand our own motivations and ensure we are spending our time doing the things we actually want to do.   Download your Values List here!    Contact Leah at leahlittlebrown.com     Music credits: Holizna - Poor, but Happy Edited and produced by Beruna Studios -  berunastudios.com
