System: Focus: Values & Beliefs: SP Recommendations

Keep in Mind...
... Many of us get so wrapped up in our daily routine that we don't think about this important area. In fact, your Values & Beliefs can be the foundation of everything you do; they can lead directly to your Purpose.

... A set of healthy Values & Beliefs should be positive, make you proud of who you are, bring a sense of peace, and be based in respect for yourself and others. In particular, Integrity, Honesty, Fidelity, Charity, Responsibility, and Self-Discipline are valuable fundamentals for a strong SparkPeople program. To give your brain a jog, others may include Respect, Freedom, Fairness, Empathy and Knowledge. The ideas listed below are meant to help you live your life according to the Values & Beliefs you hold closest, whatever they are.

Goal Menu
(For a well-rounded Values & Beliefs program, try to choose at least one item from each category)

VALUE CLARIFICATION

Have a hero. Ask "what would ______ do?"
Concentrate on one of your Values for an entire day/week.

STAYING ON COURSE

Keep a Values & Beliefs Journal.
Review and reflect on your list of values.
Meditate on your value system.
Avoid using language that contradicts your Values & Beliefs.

DECISION-MAKING STRATEGY

Think about recent decisions and if they did or did not correspond to your Values & Beliefs.
When making any decision, pick out each Value and/or Belief that will be affected.

BROADENING PERSPECTIVE

Seek out the opinions of others.
Pick out someone on the street and pretend to walk in their shoes for 10 minutes.

CRITICAL THINKING

Practice arguing against yourself. Be your own "devil's advocate".
Purposefully talk to people who will challenge your Values & Beliefs.
