Values and Principles

Happy Friday! This was a tricky week to navigate but I ended up doing pretty well overall with staying on track with my goals.

I’m still working my way through the book “The Mountain is You” and it’s brought a lot of good things to light. Yesterday when I was listening (on Audible) they were discussing principals and values. I am going to share some of mine.

I value my long-term physical health, so by principle I will make healthy eating choices 80% of the time; or in other terms, more often than not.

I value my mental health, so by principle I will check in with myself by journaling daily.

I value my spiritual health, so by principle I will pray and ready my Bible daily.

These are just a few examples. By identifying values and principles, it helps avoid being led by feelings when making choices. I mention this because I’m not always going to feel like making the most healthy food choices, but I will because it’s a principle that I do most of the time. I do this because I value my long-term physical health.

Doing this value/principle exercise was helpful because it reminds me of why I’m doing what I’m doing, and why I have set goals in the first place.
