In episode 181, I explained how getting clear on what matters - our values - can be a great place to start when we want to improve our wellbeing.
This time round, I look at the benefits of putting these values into action and being more intentional about our actions. Instead of framing our attempts at change as 'pass' or 'fail', we can frame our options as either moving towards what matters to us, or away from some form of psychological discomfort. This can take the pressure of perfection or completion off the table and intead allows us to focus on what's possible in this moment.
Do get in touch with your questions and feedback. You can email me at 'podcast at worklifepsych dot com'. It's always wonderful to hear from listeners.
As always, thanks for listening!
