Everyday Mindfulness: VALUES
It's great to be back from some travel and to share another Everyday Mindfulness episode.
VALUES shape perceptions, and even the brain – and thus, pretty much everything we experience, think, or do.
Yet for most of us the idea of actively choosing and knowing our values simply ... doesn't happen. Interestingly, some of the most popular undergrad classes at Stanford, Princeton, Yale, and no doubt many other schools guide students through choosing their values as a path to "designing an intentional life," or other worthy pursuits. I've linked info on these classes on the episode page at www.thebrainandbeyond.com/episodes/12.
Think about this: many of the most successful companies, from household names to local startups, use corporate or company values as a foundation to strategy or decision making. I've worked with many companies to put these values in place and have always wondered why more individuals, folks like you and me, don't always have the tools to choose and act on their own. This episode, a mindfulness practice to get you thinking about values, suggests why, and even how, to get that process started. You'll find more on the episode page linked above. Maybe you'll come up with YOUR t-shirt slogan in a way that guides your thoughts – and all that they lead to.
Warmly,
