- Our values create the frame of how we think about others and ourselves. They are the standards against which we measure our feelings and behaviours and the behaviours of others.
- If we make our decisions based on our values, we are more likely to follow through on our commitments.
- If the decisions that we make are in conflict to our values it is more likely that we will not follow through on our commitments . . . in short we may procrastinate.
- It is important that we aim to ensure that at least two or three of our values have been considered when we make important decisions.
- When our values are in conflict with our choices or other people, we can feel stressed, anxious, frustrated, angry or even depressed.
- Our values maybe the same year in and year out although it is not uncommon for some of our values to become more important during different phases of our lives.
