Illuminate: 3 Steps to Acting on Your Values

This past week, my EQ goal was to practice making decisions based on intrinsic motivation.

You see, I can be quite the over-thinker; last week, when deciding where to go out for dinner, I started to do what I normally do: Think, and weigh the pros and cons, and try to decide, and throw in more options… sometimes I do this until I’m too tired to even leave the house! But then I stopped. I KNOW what I value: I want something healthy, close to town, and inexpensive. Boom: My decision was made in an instant.

It was a small decision, but it felt like such a relief! So this week, I’m trying to lean into my instincts and choose the options that sounds immediately RIGHT and VALUABLE to me. It’s me practicing内在动机, the Six Seconds competency that helps me make decisions based on my values.

How can you tap into your values, priorities, and commitments today?
